I sorta got PixelPost working on my mac using MAMP. It works okay but it does not seem to create the thumbnails. There is the GD-lib with JPEG support on there and everything else looks good. The folders look like they can be written too so I am not sure why there are no thumbnails being created. I read one post somewhere that talked about changing some memory limit somewhere? Wasn't sure where that would be. Thanks for the help if anyone has some ideas.

Check your php.ini file. There are two directives: post_max_size and upload_max_filesize. These both need to be set large enough to handle your image files. I believe the default for each of these is 2MB, setting them to 8-16, should be plenty.

I use MAMP with the standard PHP settings just fine.

Make sure your site url is set to http://localhost:8888/

Don't forget the :8888 part or use whatever port your MAMP install was set up to use.

Dang, nope in my .ini files (under both the php4 and php5 folders) the max sizes were 32M, im guessing that means Mega bytes.

and my url is indeed:
http://localhost:888/pixel/

it uploads the images just fine but there is never a thumbnail created and all the images are HUGE.

I'm not sure why it's not working.

Unfortunately I cannot help you. I know pixelpost works fine with MAMP.

There is another package called XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html). Maybe try and see if this will work for you. (FYI, i have also used XAMPP with pixelpost)
