I'm having trouble getting my images to configure correctly. My guess is that I'm missing a setting somewhere but not sure where. When I upload an image it correctly save to the storage catalog but not to the variations catalog.
<img src="/var/news/storage/variations/image/p/h/p" width="0" height="0" border="0" alt="" />
my image.ini looks like this [ConverterSettings] UseConvert=trueUseGD=true
What am I missing? Some other settings I need to change?

I don't know if this will help, but I experienced a similar problem, which I resolved as noted in my post... http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/uploaded_image_visible_in_admin_but_not_in_user_version
thanks! Ben

Thanks for the tip Ben. From what I can deduce the problem doesn't seem to be where the images are being cached but that they aren't being cached, but that they aren't being converted properly. The images can be found in the var/news/storage/original directory but not the var/news/storage/variations/p/h/p directory, which is the path to them in both my admin and web sites. Does anyone out there have a suggestion as to why the images aren't being converted properly? Are my converter settings only part of the issue here and I'm missing something else?

Yes, it's probably a image conversion problem with GD or ImageMagick (what are you using?). It MAY be a filesystem permission issue, but when you used the setip wizard, this checks for the right permissions. I guess, you have no images in var/new/storage/reference ?Enable Debugging (Look for "DebugOutput=disabled" and enable it in your site.ini and see, if ez complains about image conversion stuff.

I tried debugging and that didn't help resolve the problem. My assumption has been that because my webhosting uses php 4.3.4 that GD will work. Is this an incorrect assumtion? If so how can I resolve this issue. Or better yet how can I find out if GD is running?

See Set up -> System information. Check the list of PHP extensions.
