Hi,
I have CKFinder installed on more than one web server but I have them all using a common shared images folder that exists on one particular machine. Permissions have been set properly so that the CKFinders on each server have no problem uploading images to the shared folder. However, thumbnail generation is faulty on all of the machines except the one that the images folder actually exists on. If I delete the _thumbs folder and use the CKFinder on the native machine (the machine that also contains the shared images folder), I see that all the thumbnails for each existing image get generated. If I do the same on any other other machines (the machines that do not natively contain the images folder, but rather access it through a share), I see that the _thumbs folder does get created and then sometimes one or two thumbnails (but not all of the thumbnails) will get generated, and sometimes no thumbnails will get generated. What would be causing the thumbnail generator to stop working when a shared directory is involved?

Re: No thumbnail creation with image folder on different mac
According to your previous post, you're using Asp with the thumbnails being created by asp.net.
In that case the problem is probably related to permissions across the machines. You can try to run the helper script (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13604) in the machines that aren't able to create the thumbnails; among the info that it displays it should show the name of the User that it's being used by the asp.net process.
If that info is right you can try to adjust the permissions in the host machine so that such user has the required permissions.

Re: No thumbnail creation with image folder on different mac
You need help from someone else, but that fact that some thumbnails are created and some aren't is quite strange. Check if it's always the same thumbnails the ones that are created and try to find what's the difference between the original files for those that work and those that don't.
Good luck.
