Imagecache not generating any images

By detot on 13 Aug 2007 at 10:48 UTC

Hi.
I can't get Imagecache to work. Imagecache created the right folders but can't create the image. I tried setting all the folders (and) in files to 777 but still no success.

The only error i get in drupal is:

fopen(files/imagecache/main/files/images/images.jpg) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/includes/file.inc on line 562.

filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for files/imagecache/main/files/images/image.jpg in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/imagecache/imagecache.module on line 220.

mime_content_type(files/imagecache/main/files/images/image.jpg) [function.mime-content-type]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/imagecache/imagecache.module on line 214.

The server is using PHP 5.1.6

Check following: 1. Check

techrobo commented 13 August 2007 at 11:45

Check following:
1. Check permissions of your 'files' folder. 777 is required.
2. It should have folder imagecache/main. You can try creating these folders manually.
3. If these folder exists check the permissions, these should be 777.

This should resolve your problem.

Me too

Hi. Same problem here. The image is not created in the relevent folder. .tmp files ARE being created in my files/sitename/tmp folder (i switched to /tmp to see if it helped - it did not)

I have set windows folder permissions to everyone/full control.

I have manually created imagecache/main folder (also given full control)

I have flushed my preset cache.

I am going bald with frustration (not a good look for a girly)

Looking forward to a resolution on this issue!

No 777 ever.

I know this comment is 5.5 years old, but: you should never ever ever set your perms to 777. This is a huge security loophole that can be exploited. You can set Files dir to 775 and adjust your file settings temp directory to tmp and it should work.

/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/imagecache/imagecache.module on line 214.

Did you change that or havent you configured it yet?

btw, have the same problem, except sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Drives me crazy

tmp instead of /tmp in File system settings

detot commented 22 August 2007 at 12:59

The problem where in the "File system" settings. The "Temporary directory" was set to "/tmp" and the web host didn't support to save, edit etc that deep. But just "tmp" worked, so the tmp file ended up i the same level as drupal.

Thanks so much. I tried and

Thanks so much. I tried and tried for about 6 hours to fix this damn problem.

I needed to se the tmp path to something inside files.... so now it reads sites/default.files/temp

All is working!! horay horay horay

Thanks!

Removing the / from the file system temporary directory fixed my imagecache problem.

Perfect fix

jillpadams commented 20 February 2013 at 15:55

This was it - thank you!

Still doesn't work

mcannell commented 24 March 2008 at 21:30

I've done this, I've even changed "/tmp" to "tmp". Everything is set to 777. It still tries to put the thumbnail in "/files/imagecache/product/files/" unsuccessfully.

Just like everyone else, clicking the broken image opens the full size image in the box.

I'm having the exact same

I'm having the exact same issue.
Any new ideas?

Doesn't work for me

timlie commented 25 August 2008 at 07:42

I tried almost everything to get this to work but I'm still stuck. When I try to upload an image, the image is not shown in the preview, when i check my temp folder (files/tmp) i can see a *.tmp file there. When I complete the forms, submit the form, the image is put in the root of the files folder (and is removed from the temp folder). None of the imagecache folders is created and the images are not resized.

Summary:
I don't think it has something to do with permissions as the files/tmp folder was created by drupal.
The image gets uploaded to that tmp folder (*.tmp) but I can't see it in preview on the imagefield form.
The image gets replaced (after submitting) to the root of the files folder, no imagecache folders created.

The webserver is an IIS webserver, maybe something to do with that???

Can someone help please?
Thanx

Is has something to do with

timlie commented 27 August 2008 at 17:47

Is has something to do with the ISAPI_Rewrite module.

Are there solutions for this?

Solved mine......

It might be worth it for you all to check that you have enabled a toolkit.

I enabled the ImageAPI GD2 module and now Imagecache works as I expected. I guess I must have missed the need for a toolkit to be installed when I RTFM'd

:o)

It seems that every time you

svihel commented 17 September 2008 at 11:35

It seems that every time you change some settings in imagecache module something strange happen and drupal no longer can upload data to this changed presed. Only thing that works is delete whole directory imagecache in files and then create it back so the permissions are reset or something and then you have to return it back to 777. I guess something with the folder owner happens here, not sure what exactly though.
Is it bug in drupal (imagecache) or just in my server?
