When I upload my images via EE's internal FTP it places the images in the correct folders: ie /gallery/thumb and /gallery/microthumb but the images display as small boxes with an "X".

My path setup for ftp is /public_html/gallery/thumb
My path setup for relative path is ../gallery/thumb
My path setup for URL is http://www.mydomain.com/gallery/thumb

The folders are chmod 777... when I type in the link in IE it won't display the image, but if I download the thumbs and microthumbs using Cuteftp the images open up fine.

Any help would be appeciated!

I went to your server with data you PM'd me earlier and the problem is that the www site you see does not match to the ftp site you have.

In other words, when you use ftp server xxxx.lunarpages.com for uploads and your http paths (URL) point to www.xxx.com those two locations are different so http (thus EE) can not fetch the photos.

This means also the EE you see on ftp xxxx.lunarpages.com is not the EE you see on you www site www.xxx.com. You can easily verify this by renaming EDITOR_country.php to EDITOR_country.ph and as you can see you can still open country editor!

If I don't make sense please ask me to explain again :)

What you need to fix now (or mail the server support) is to get ftp folder (the one EE uploads your sizes and thumbs to) and http folder match.

PS. I also noted that Imagemagick fails sometimes on your server - this may be a PHP memory issue as dropping compression level 99 to 90 seemed to help. Also, you can use resize method NONE in size path setup if you just want to copy the uploaded photo and not resize it at all.

PPS. there was also one folder with wrong permisisons, I fixed that.
