I just got the component working last night and I was getting the same error until I changed a couple of the phpThumb config settings.
If you're using phpThumb in "object" mode you'll have to make these changes in the phpthumb.class.php file. There is a file in the distribution called phpThumb.config.php that details all of the options but this file is ignored when you're using object mode (which is what the component uses). The settings I changed were: $config_prefer_imagemagick = false; $config_imagemagick_use_thumbnail = false; (I develop on a Windows machine and don't have Imagemagick installed) $config_allow_src_above_docroot = true; // because of how I've organized my cake installation You may need to tweak other settings. Fortunately, if you dump the contents of the $phpThumb object right after the thumbnail creation fails, you'll find a whole slew of debugging information that should help you to track down exactly what's going wrong on your machine. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
