When I create an article I defined thumbnail and main images in Calais Geotagging. The module uploads both images to /sites/default/files -- but when displaying in the front page there is an error because the module is looking for these defined images in /sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail and /sites/default/files/imagecache/spotlight_homepage/ THE PROBLEM is that using a FTP client I can see that both folders (spotlight_homepage and thumbnail) were not created during installation. Also, I can see that both files were uploaded to /sites/default/files/
Thank you

Just an update about this issue: I just found out that the module is not uploading at all the images mentioned above. That's why there is an "x" in the frontpage stating that it cannot display the thumbnail or the main image. You can see this error at www.frivarso.com

Sounds like maybe there is a problem with the imagecache module... when you go to /admin/build/imagecache/list and click on the featured_image preset do you see a sample image?

There is no sample image. The link is there but the sample image does not appear. The error shows the same "x" as in the front page of the site.

I wonder if the files folder has the right permissions to create subfolders... are you able to see who owns the files folder and what the permissions are?

Permissions: flcdmpe (0775)
Propietary/Group: 5419965 600

I fixed the problem by enable ReWrite module in Apache. Hope it may help.

Thanks for the solution. But, how do I enable the rewrite module, and is this an ideal solution. Does anyone know why this happens?
