Your $storageurl must point to the URL that the $storagedir is available from. That would probably 'http://yourserver/pix' in your case (take the entry from $baseurl and replace 'resourcespace' with 'pix').

Just installed RS for the first time and looks great, but I'm having a problem with thumbnails and previews not being created when I upload photos (simple JPEG and small uncompressed TIFF files). Instead, I get my browser's broken/missing image icon.

Here's how I've set it up:

My filestore is in webroot/pix.
RS is installed in webroot/resourcespace.
Created an .htaccess in webroot containing only "Options -Indexes" to disable Apache directory indexes.

Config.php entries:
$storagedir = '/home/username/webroot/pix';
$storageurl = '';

I knew it was most likely something simple. Now it works great. Thanks, Stefan! :-)

I too have a new installation and I am having problems with only Tif or Tiff thumbnails.  Every other extension works including eps, psd, pdf & jpg.  Any idea why only Tiffs won't work?

One other thing I learned the hard way: RS doesn't like being installed in subdomains (at least Cpanel-generated subdomains).  I had huge problems with images displaying until I removed the subdomain and installed RS in a plain ol' subfolder.

Hi stefan,
i've ResourceSpace 7.8 and no preview are shown.
In both config.php and config.default.php i've set:
$storagedir="/usr/local/data/sites/rspace/htdocs/filestore"; 

the i've enlarged:
        php_value post_max_size "120M"
        php_value upload_max_filesize "120M"
        php_value short_open_tag "Off"
        php_value max_input_time "300"
        php_value max_execution_time "300"

but no preview are generated.. i've also put:
$enable_thumbnail_creation_on_upload=true;

but noway to create a single preview.. could you be so kind to help me?
Thanks Davide

A lot of reasons can do this.permission to folder,resource sizes,main config for fotce create previews.


I solve this using symlink.its pretty easy. On Windows 2012,cause virtual folders under iis 8 didnt work correct,for video previews.im using apppool identity,created new apppool solve external access.i think its not security danger...

The same behavior i can see if turn the plugin ref URL. Thumbs are missing...


Sometimes broken metadata in uploaded resource can cause it.i tried to use thexifer online tool (nicely done,enhanced "form")to batch metadata to files using accended characters as "ěřú...". Then file was upoaded to reaourcespace,upload was stored,with separated storage to original folder.resized nothing,no preview. check if success creation of previews without extrqcted metadata, you could set it on upload page.
