Image module problem (Full image file not upload. Thumbnail image file not uploaded)

Hi ghavo,
Thanks to much for telling what you did to fix the "image not showing, except for the red x" problem. I had the same problem. when I saw your post, I followed your instructions, and now my images show.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Best Wishes,
Stephen

Thanks ghavo! I spent quite a bit of time last night trying to sovle this same problem. Changing CHMOD to 777 worked, but I was very uncomfortable with that. Changing the File System settings to Private did the trick!

I had installed img_assist.module first, so perhaps that is what caused this problem for me in the first place, as someone mentions below.

The error I was getting in the logs when the pictures did not show was:

403.shtml not found.

Still at it 24 hours later, tried commenting out the lines in the 960's with no change.

I get the images uploaded with no thumb and the error message below. Linux server (see previous post for environment details).

Any help or guidance might salvage our use of Drupal which seems like it has a lot of great things going for it.

This and the subscription module are stopping me dead in my tracks. I figured if I could get install and do lots of mods with phpbb, get Gallery with Imagmagick going, and PostNuke with its share of weirdnesses I'd be able to work with what seems like a very cleanly designed Drupal. I'm bummed by this image and subscription modules failure on a server where the systems mentioned above work well. I had a Monday (tomorrow) deadline for a demo that I thought would impress a nonprofit with a better way to handle their Intranet that is fast looking like history.

I must admit that I am also having some trouble getting image to recognize the ImageMagick convert file (again, see http://drupal.org/node/view/809). On a whim, I set the module to use GD instead of ImageMagick (on its main config page). Magically, it then worked, both for creating individual image nodes and batch uploads! GD does suck -- you have to manipulate and scale the images beforehand, and the thumbnails are crappier. But I am very happy image module is at least working. Perhaps bad communication with ImageMagick was indeed the culprit all along?
