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 ).

Hey Issac, Ok, I've dumbed this down to the lowest common denominator ( in this case, I qualify as this ).

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
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.

I've used the standard example code in my apache (1.3.27 with MP1) and it seems to ignore the handler. Any suggestions? -- Steven A. Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED]
