I just downloaded and installed PhotoQ. I tried to upload an image and got this where the thumbnail of the image should be:

phpThumb() v1.7.9-200805132119
"home/lightboy/public_html/wp-content/qdir/photo.jpg" does not exist

I checked the permissions. I'm new to this, but I did go in and make sure that wp-content, qdir, and photoQCache had a permission of 777 (I think this is overkill, isn't it? But I just wanted to make sure that there was NO way it was because of permissions).

I have all relevant folders set to permission #777 to try and troubleshoot the problem, but to no avail. I also went into my .htaccess file and included this:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

between #begin wordpress and #end wordpress.

I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do. I've deactivated and reactivated the plugin. Why can't I post any photographs??

On a related note, which folders exactly need to have their permissions changed? What number do they need to be changed to?

Thanks again, any help would be greatly appreciated. (sorry for the double post!)

did you try to upload with batch uploads disabled? does it work in this case?

photoq needs write permissions to your imgdir folder (wp-content) in your case. i cannot tell what the exact minimal settings are in your case and whether 777 is required or not because this depends on the server setup (php runnig as ftp user or sth else, etc.) .

however, photoq should complain on its settings page if there is any folder that does not have appropriate permissions. so if you don't get any warnings there you should be fine.
