Thumbs not being created

Thumbs not being created was created by rdarlin2
New install Joomla/ImageMagick/CB/CBGallery - no errors.

Uploading CB Profile Image works (Did NOT use an image that needed to be reduced).

Can upload images in CB Gallery; get the successfull upload message (pg_xxx.jpg and tnpg_xxx.jpg) for both the image and creation/upload of a thumb.

However, I only see a JPEG graphic instead of a thumb, in both the 'CB Gallery Module' and the 'CB Profile Gallery'. (If selected, the graphic in the module does open the profile, the graphic in the profile gallery does open the image.)

It seems like the thumb is not being created. What directory should they reside? My install may not have created it, or I may have a permissions problem.

What do you think? (I've attached a capture of the CB Gallery Module parameters)

(BTW - Nice tool!)

I brought my site down, cleared my log files (Apache/PhP/MySql) and rebooted. No error msgs in log files.

Attempted upload of an image and got an error in my Apache log file:
''convert'' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

It looks like the ImageMagic Convert program is being called, but not found.

When dropping to a dos prompt, and entering 'convert' - I get the ImageMagick convert.exe options displayed... so the program is in the path correctly... and Joomla shows it as recognized "automatically".

Is there an Apache setting or configuration that needs to be performed?

interesting ... can you try switching to GD (from your CB backend) and upload again?

I also have a jpg file that fails to resize.
Either a buggy file or something else is happening!

I surprise myself -
Uncommented 'php extension' in php.ini
restarted web

Joomla/CB back end shows GD2 Library recognized!

logged in as user and it works!

So, is the prob php/IMagick configuration - related?

I installed ImageMagick originally, over GD2 because I read more positive things about it. In your opinion, Nant, is it worth the effort to chase down the problem?

Thanks!
