Everything seems to check out on the Server check page in the Gallery, but it does not create thumbnails when I upload an image. Both ImageMagick and GD 2.0 are installed, the only thing on the Server check page that comes up is the ImageRotate function not working because I don't have GD 2 unbundled.

I do get a phpThumb error message when uploading the image, but without knowing what really goes on in phpThumb it is kind of mind-boggling to try and dig through it. Any clues as to how I sort this out?

It's hard to say. Could you provide a link to your problem.

Yes, sorry - here is a link. I will send you a mail with user name and pw.

I think the problem has to do with the way phpThumb builds the path to where the images are sitting. My website is in a not quite conventional directory structure, since it's sitting in a subdirectory of the top web directory. When phpThumb tries to build the path to the image directory created by CL gallery, 8hwrtaej9jgo in this case, it goes all the way back to root and builds it up using, for some reason, the top-level e107_plugins directory, and then further down from there, instead of going to the web root of the website and building it from there.

Don't know if that made any sense, but I think that is where one of the problems lie. I'm having probelms digging through phpthumb.class.php to see exactly how it generates that path, but that is what I'm now trying.

Sorry for replying to my own post, but what I mentioned above was precisely the problem, so I have edited the phpThumb.config file to change the way phpThumb gets document_root and that seems to have done the trick. It is now generating thumbs.
