hi all!
i've seen many questions about this subject, and i'm myself in trouble with my config.
i'm running on 0.7.2.1-phoenix quite well and i also uploaded gallery 1.3.1 and then
when i try to upload a new image i receive a msg error

Quote:
Processing status...
- Adding 016.jpg
Error: Unable to make thumbnail (0)!

then i looked trough the gallery faq and didn't find sumthing interesting.
so i decided to re-entre the gallery set-up and to turn the debug mode on
i also get another error msg but maybe more helpfull for those who had the same problem than me.

i really hope to find a solution because this is really annoying and the gallery feature is the last thing i need to build a great website of my own.

thanks in advance and sorry for the length!

I'm having a similar issue, only I think I know what my solution is. The problem is this: When I downloaded the custom NetPBM binaries, one file seemed to be missing: pnmtojpeg. Is that binary available anywhere else?

I'm running Mandrake 8.2, which, according to the FAQ, is part of my original problem with not being able to upload jpegs.

Ok, I managed to work around my problem of the missing file.

I didn't have the pnmtojpeg file, but I did have the ppmtojpeg file. On a whim, I copied the ppmtojpeg file to the pnmtojpeg file, tried uploading an image, and it worked!

Don't know how or why it worked, I'm just glad it did!

Thanks! :grin:

I got the same problem, after I switched host, and run through the installation setup again on the new host.
Knightsabre solution made everything work.
Maybe it is because the config.php file is default set up with pnmtojpeg as the filename?
Have not tried to manually change it in the config file, but I guess that would do the same trick...
