[QUOTE][u]Quote by: gHack[/u][p]Hi All, Thanks, Nuke, for the rant about asking for help, politely.  This happens a lot in the customer service profession too, where people just don't understand that the person who is taking their call and handling all of their frustration is usually NOT the same person who gets to make the decisions, and gets paid so little that it would really make sense to be polite to them.  But not to digress...I've been trying to get the geekary to work for about three days now, and everything seems fine except for the fact that it won't generate thumbnails.  I'll tell you what I've done and if someone can see what I'm missing or give me something else to try, that would be great.When I first installed the geekary, the install script did not report any errors but when I checked the filesystem page, there were two missing files (index.htm) in the geekages and thumbs directories and two orphaned files (Thumbs.db) in the same directories.  Figuring this was the problem I tried changing permissions on these dirs and uninstalled and re-installed geekary.  After going through this process several times and finally setting everything having to do with geekary to 777, I still get these errors when I install the plugin.I also didn't have GD installed at first; I upgraded to php 4.3.0 to take advantage of the built-in GD library.  (used --with-gd on configure and also installed zlib, using --with-zlib-dir=[my zlib dir]) I also installed ImageMagick today to try and use it instead, but thumbs still do not get generated when I upload an image.  I've set the path to mogrify in config.php and told it to use imagemagick there also, set imagemagick as the default library in the admin screen for the geekary, and I have it set to generate PNG's.  Still I just get the slide projector for a thumbnail every time I upload an image.I'm running apache2.0 on linux and just upgraded to gl1.3.7sr1, if that information is helpful.Any ideas?Thanks,Chris[/p][/QUOTE]
