okay, I've read all the forumns and still can't get these to show up. I can't get the GD properly set up.

photoblog:
www.tylerbell.net/photoblog/
click on the dropdown browse to see thumbs

php info:
www.tylerbell.net/photoblog/test.php

extension=php_gd2.dll unchecked

extension_dir="./"
not sure is this is right, the dll is located in C:\PHP\extensions

can anyone advise?

thanks.

I dont see GD support on your phpinfo(); page. Restart IIS and all should start to work.

I have tried this, but something is not right. When the gd lib is uncommented any page with .php loads forever, ie never showing up in the browser. Is the extension directory correct? The php dll is in the windows\system32 folder.

Now I see that you have correct extension_dir. Did you download complete PHP distribution (current 4.4 is near 7 MB).

PS Try to regenerate thumbs now - if all is OK that should work.

Yes, I did get the gd-lib thing worked out, but thumbnails still don't generate.

currently have PHP 4.3.4. Are you suggesting I upgrade to 4.4? What about 5.0.5? I don't have PHP installed as CGI.

PHP Version (if you have minimal requirement passed) isnt important. Maybe try to check your permissions.

I've read this thread since I too have problems with thumbnails not being made.
My host runs php 4.3.4 on IIS/5.0 and has GD enabled.

When I run phpinfo.php in the folder "includes" it says this:
http://www.folkbitar.com/temp/gd-phpinfo.gif

But when I look at "General Info" in the administration section it says this:
http://www.folkbitar.com/temp/gd-lib.gif

I run Pixelpost 1.4.3

You are talking about "checking your permissions".
Could you please develop that to me?
What permissions do you mean?

this means that PP is not indentifying GD lib
this can happen if it is not installed correctly or if it is too old
at least it means that your GD LIB does not support JPG creation and therefore it does not work

ask your hoster to update GD lib
that takes just a short effort, but your version is absolutely too old...

Thanks for the reply!
I had my thoughts about the GD being too old,
but I couldn't find in the documents
provided in the zip-file, what version of GD i required as a minimum.
It just says: "PHP with GD-lib with JPG-support, required for thumbnailing".

Anyway, thanks again. I have sent an email to my host.

Still having problems.
My host tells me that the GD they have (1.6.2 or higher)
is sufficient and that the problem has to do with something else.

I also saw that my host is running a MySQL version that is:
MySQL version 3.23.51-max-nt, slightly older than the
one you recommend.

What to do now?
