Copy Image to a 2nd Gallery - Error Logged

[stevemul]

I am copying images to a 2nd gallery. I get the following errors logged for every image. However the copy does appear to work. I am concerned that my database may be getting corrupted.

My URL is www.hobartphoto.org.au. The base folder is /httpdocs/. 'EE' is in folder /httpdocs/e_engine/ and the images folder is 'httpdocs/photo_galleries/.

Looks like a problem with the thumb and microthumb paths setup.

Take a look in /httpdocs/photo_galleries/thumb and /microthumb and see if the thumbs/microthumb of the the photos being copied are there. They're probably not there - but that's where EE thinks they are.

Check your path setup for thumbs & microthumbs. Also in EE editor, check the "edit exhibition data" page - on the right is where the thumbs and microthumbs for that exhibition are set to. Click on "show thumbnails" in thumbs/microthumbs - if you don't see the thumbs/microthumbs, there is a problem with the paths somewhere.

Your database shouldn't be affected by this, but photos being copied around will not have their associated thumbs & microthumbs copied with them - this is only a problem if you have set up multiple thumb/microthumb paths. If you're storing all of your thumbs/microthumbs in a single directory (as it seems you are) there shouldn't be a problem.

Looks to me that "ftp_temp" folder is not chmod 777.

Looks to me that "ftp_temp" folder is not chmod 777.

That's fixed the error msgs.

Many thanks.

Pekka's suggestion fixed the error msgs. Since you've kind enough to make a couple of suggestions I have tested your suggestions and gained some benefit though it didn't fix the immediate problem.

The thumbs and microthumbs were respectively in /httpdocs/photo_galleries/thumb and /microthumb. However my paths were incorrect. I had ../photo_galleries/thumb/ when it should have been ../../photo_galleries/thumb/. Similar error for microthumbs. I needed the extra ../

I corrected the paths and tried your suggested test in "edit exhibition data" page. Now it works fine and I can see the images.

Many thanks for your help.
