I just installed and have started configuring my install. I've gotten all the cosmetic stuff configured and done...now I'm having difficulty with the thumbnail builder. For some reason, It gives me the following error when I try and build thumbnails for my image gallery:
Wanted to use image.jpg as it's own thumbnail, but failed to copy!
Is this a permissions problem? I was thinking it might be this...or that the path to imagemagick isn't valid. I'm running redhat 9.0 (clarkconnect)...is there a way to check where the imagemagick converter file is located? I guess I'm just thinking out loud here...Any help would be appreciated.
Yes, the error message can only happen if either GDlib or ImageMagick fail. But this failure can also happen because of a permission problem, so make sure your "upload" folder is writeable for the webserver user.
You can find the imagemagick binary by using "locate convert" on a shell. That should tell you the location, usually /usr/bin oder /usr/x11/bin/

I get the same error when I try to make thumbnails. I'm running Apache on Windows, but I think I have GD2 support (how can I check that?). And when I decide to installe ImageMagick, what should be the correct path to it?

In addition to this post: manually resizing a picture in the Media Library Screen does work.
I also am having a similar problem when I do "Rebuild Thumbs":
Synchronizing the database with the image folder
Done (Synchronized 0 images).
Resizing
Resize pichu1.jpg: x
Wanted to use pichu1.jpg as it's own thumbnail, but failed to copy!
Done (resized 0 images).
I'm running on windows: Apache 2.0, mySQL 4.0, PHP 4.3.9, ImageMagick-6.1.6-Q8
Images get uploaded in the upload directory fine, and I can rename them as well as create new directories within upload, so I'm assuming that permissions are okay?
I can also resize them, and this resize seems to hold... but when I do a "Rebuild Thumbs" command, all the resizes get blown away and the images go back to their original size. I'm assuming that the command to do resizes isn't ImageMagick?
The path to ImageMagic seems okay... if I change it, everything hangs... so that's probably a sign it's incorrect. I have it quoted "" in order for it to work, because it's in the "Program Folder".
