I created a preset called 'thumbnails' using ImageCache. I tried to show these 'thumbnail' images using Views, but they didn't appear. When I tried out the url to each image I got a blank page. Not a 404 error, a blank page. My ftp client says there are no images in the directory that ImageCache created. Then I made a new preset and ImageCache didn't even create a directory for this one (despite saying it did when I first created it). I've looked at the troubleshooting page:
http://drupal.org/node/224913
and checked everything there. The rewrite rules are there, the permissions on the server and in Drupal are okay, and I've got transliteration working, so I don't know what's wrong.

Incidentally, I don't get the Drupal logo preview when I'm adding actions to presets, either. I get a link that leads to a blank page.

Any ideas?

One thing to check is to make sure safe_mode is set to off on your server. Imagecache will not be able to move the files if safe_mode is on. You can check by going to admin/reports/status and then clicking the php version number. Search for safe_mode and make sure it is set to 'off'.

I've just got my images to appear! All I did was delete the 'Sharpen' action I'd applied to each preset. For more info: I'm using image field in CCK to upload the images and GD2 with Image API. When I add a sharpen action the preview image disappears. When I click the preview link I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imageconvolution() in /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/imageapi/imageapi_gd.module on line 245

Have I got something configured wrong?

Both ImageCache and Image GD2 are the latest stable releases.

I had the same thing happen when I tried the shapen action. If you check your Status Report, you'll probably see some problems with the GD installed on your server. After updating my php/gd setup (a snap on Debian/Ubuntu), everything works properly! see http://drupal.org/node/134331

Hi,

same problem gets solved, when i disabled crop image action from the preset. I don't know why this is so.
Also, when i opened the status report , it is showing me a blank page.

My fix was making sure I had an image toolkit activated in the modules area

I faced the same issue. I was not able to preview the image with any new action on preset. I tried all the possible things with permissions, user settings etc etc. and finally it turned out that, I had missed to enable the ImageAPI GD2 module.

Once enabled, everything worked perfectly !
