[MAKE THUMBNAIL] error

[nostradamnit]

Hi all,

I'm having a hell of a time getting the product thumbnail generation
to work. I have PIL installed, as well as libjpeg. After a couple of
frustrating hours, I finally got PIL autotest.py to pass all the tests
(thanks to 'python setup.py build_ext -i' from
http://www.igorsobreira.com/pil-ioerror-decoder-jpeg-not-available/ ).
However, this does NOT seem to have fixed anything with Satchmo. I
still get the console error (sometimes) saying:

[MAKE THUMBNAIL] error decoder jpeg not available for file u'/static/
images/productimage-picture-default.jpg'

and the admin interface error saying:

Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image or
a corrupted image.

Could someone kindly point me in the right direction, as my head is
seriously starting to hurt ;(

Thanks,
Sam

Might have something to to with the file you are using, I see in your
erormessage:

u'/static/ images/productimage-picture-default.jpg'

and the space looks strange to me. It tries maybe to encode two files, both
not available.

What's really weird about that is that's not even the file I'm trying
to upload?!? It must be the default image that it loads to generate
the thumbnail?!? I'm sooo confused :|

Looks like I'm gonna have to delve into the code, which is NOT on my
current TODO list :(

I think Guenter has it.  I bet you've got a space at the end of your MEDIA_ROOT in settings.py.

It really does work, for many stores, using the latest codebase.

Unfortunately, that's not the problem, but I have at least figured out
that, despite passing the tests, PIL still doesn't see the jpeg
decoder, as the snippet below shows. Back to the PIL config goose
chase...

>>> import Image
>>> img = Image.open('/home/sam/Documents/test_image.jpg').copy()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL-1.1.6-py2.5-linux-
i686.egg/Image.py", line 717, in copy
self.load()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL-1.1.6-py2.5-linux-
i686.egg/ImageFile.py", line 180, in load
d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL-1.1.6-py2.5-linux-
i686.egg/Image.py", line 375, in _getdecoder
raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name)
IOError: decoder jpeg not available
>>>

I'll report back :)

I had this same problem, but with PNGs. My solution was to recompile
PIL with zLib support. Here is thread FWIW:

SUCCESS!

I completely removed the PIL package and egg from /usr/lib/python2.5/
site-packages/ then reinstalled PIL again and it's working now!

Thanks to everyone for your help and support,
Sam

helped me installing PIL with JPEG support. on Mac OS-X 10.5 Leopard

This Post is only a reference for other's who have the same problems
on Mac OS-X

Here's what I did on Ubuntu for future reference:

1. Download PIL source:

wget http://download.zope.org/distribution/PILwoTk-1.1.6.4.tar.gz

2. Untar the source:

tar xzvf PILwoTk-1.1.6.4.tar.gz

3. On Ubuntu install lib jpeg dev:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

4. Build PIL

cd Imaging-1.1.6.4
sudo python setup.py build_ext -f

Check for jpeg OK in build summary:

PIL 1.1.6 BUILD SUMMARY

version 1.1.6 platform linux2 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008,
11:12:42)

[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)]

*** TKINTER support not available --- JPEG support ok --- ZLIB (PNG/
ZIP) support ok *** FREETYPE2 support not available

5. Remove PIL from /usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages:

sudo rm -fr /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL*

6. Re-install PIL

sudo python setup.py install

I'm not quite clearing why sudo apt-get install python-imaging doesn't just work. That's what I normally do on Ubuntu.
