Description Borgx 2006-07-04 08:16:37 UTC
I found "error creating thumbnail" when trying to create thumbnail smaller then
the original PNG images. Works fine when the thumbnail larger then original
size. Also works fine on 1.5.8 whatever the thumbnail size. These failed on
1.6.3, 1.6.7 and 1.7 r15313 

mw 1.6.7 testcase: http://202.148.16.226/mw167/index.php/Main_Page
mw 1.6.3 testcase: http://202.148.16.226/mw163/index.php/Main_Page
mw 1.5.8 testcase: http://202.148.16.226/mw158/index.php/Main_Page
mw 1.7   testcase: http://202.148.16.226/mw17/index.php/Main_Page

All wikis are fresh installation and installed on the same server running
Windows 2003 Server, PHP 5.0.4 Apache 2.0.5.5 ImageMagick 6.2.7
Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-07-04 23:43:35 UTC
Check permissions. Apache needs to be able to write to the thumbnail
directories. Check that ImageMagick is set up right. Check that the path to
convert is correct in each configuration.
Comment 2 Borgx 2006-07-05 01:00:06 UTC
If the issue was permission, the mw.1.5.8 should produced error which is not.
Comment 3 Borgx 2006-07-05 02:28:13 UTC
After spending hours of trial and error, I found that the problem caused by
extra characters . " 2>&1"; on include/image.php. After removing that, image
thumbnailing is working again. I'm not a PHP expert, and I don't know the use of
this extra characters, but still this is a workaround to my problem. These
characters are not found on mw 1.5.8 (mw 1.5.8 works fine with image
thumbnailing, see initial description and comment #2).

modified include/image.php:

wfEscapeShellArg($thumbPath);
//wfEscapeShellArg($thumbPath) . " 2>&1";
Comment 4 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2006-07-05 18:11:13 UTC
2>&1 means "redirect standard error to standard output".
That's probably used to hide errors in apache logs.
Comment 5 Platonides 2006-09-25 15:33:59 UTC
Closing bug. Probably solution should be added (where?) to document it.
Comment 6 Diederik van Liere 2011-11-29 20:56:48 UTC
Bug was already closed in c5.
