Fw: Apache::GD::Thumbnail Question
Forgive my use of the list if this is a tad OT - but I seem to not be able
to contact Steven directly all of the sudden (my ISP got but on a RBL, I
think, and it will take them another bit to get off - that's why it took so
long, Steven)

Hey Issac,
Ok, I've dumbed this down to the lowest common denominator ( in this
case, I qualify as this ). In my httpd.conf I have the following lines:
Alias /pics/ /data/httpd/htdocs/image1/pics/
Directory /data/httpd/htdocs/image1/pics
Order allow,deny
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Directory
Location /*/pics/thumbs
SetHandler perl-handler
PerlHandler Apache::GD::Thumbnail
PerlSetVar ThumbnailMaxSize 75
/Location
Why are you using /image1/pics/ for the thumbnails and /pics/ for the
pictures?
I would use: Location /pics/thumbs for the location block and then IMG
SRC=/pics/tumbs/roses.jpg/ in the HTML. See if that helps matters...
In my script source I have the following line:
$r-print ('PA href=/pics/roses1.jpgIMG
src=/image1/pics/thumbs/roses.jpg/A
I have tried this with the PerlSetVar ThumbnailBaseDir set to the
Location,
No - ThumbnailBaseDir, would you want to set it, should be set to
/data/httpd/htdocs/image1/pics/
with PerlModule Apache::GD::Thumbnail
you still need this (or use Apache::GD::Thumbnail; in mod_perl_start.pl)
, with the OBJECT tag
instead of the IMG tag
no - you want IMG
and they all yield the same 404 Not Found error.
At this point I think that I'm probably missing something really stupid,
considering I am following the man page to the letter. The only thing
missing from the man page is any example of HTML/script usage but that
looks to me as really basic - access the URL and the handler takes over.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Apache::GD::Thumbnail Question
Any word on this Issac? Are you as stumped as I am? I dug into it again
today and verified that the jpeg, png and freetype2 libraries were
installed and verified that they functioned. I also did a complete
rebuild of GD and a CPAN force install on Apache::GD::Thumbnail - all
went well with no errors or warnings ( all for not though, it still
refuses to work ).

Re: Apache::GD::Thumbnail Question
It does work - I use it on http://pics.beamartyr.net/ Remember that it's a tricky sorta configuration - you must configure it within a location block which will be the thumbnail directory, and specify the real source directory: Example: The below configuration maps /home/me/pictures to http://foo.bar/pictures/ and generates on-the-fly thumbnails in http://foo.bar/pictures/mythumbs/ Alias /pictures/ /home/me/pictures Directory /home/me/pictures Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Location /pictures/mythumbs SetHandler perl-handler PerlHandler Apache::GD::Thumbnail /Location Remember that it only works on JPEGs.
