Traject post images suddenly broken

  And here’s where the “junk” comes from in timthumb.php:

  // full image SRC
  $theImg['src'] = $themePath .’includes/timthumb.php?src=’. $postImage .’&w=’. $imgW .’&h=’. $imgH .’&zc=1′;

  Joni –

  Any idea how to fix the junk?

• Joni

  Not yet! And…that was not in the timthumb.php, but rather the addon-functions.php.

  Hm, there’s some conflict happening…I can’t figure it out. Going on Day 2 waiting for a response….

  I did a lot of looking, and as it turns out your uploads folder needs 755 or 777 permissions along with all of the files in it. It should work once you do that.

  Also, I’ve spent the day testing my own timthumb trying to figure out how to duplicate your problem and solve it. From now on I will notify you as I do that

  Thanks,
  Landon

  @Joni

  It looks like you have a permissions error as Landon said. I think the error is the result of your server denying permission to read the image file. Check your permission settings and see if that helps.

  Thanks for your patience. Your error seems to be a clear permission issue (this is referenced in the help document). You can see the result of the image attempting to load produces the error:

  Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
  http://ors.comeze.com/wp-content/themes/traject/includes/timthumb.php?src=http://ors.comeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-12-at-2.20.21-AM.png&w=161&zc=1

  If you follow the guide in the help document you’ll see the instructions for setting the permissions. If using “777″ permissions does not work as it states in the help document, try “755″ instead. This is because some hosts don’t allow “777″ permissions.

  I referred to the Help section previously and tried both 755 and 777. No change.

  BUT, I did solve the issue. It’s not a chmod issue. If you’re curious, 000webhost (free hosting) restricts open_basedir (You can’t use Timthumb as is. You have to rename this: $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])

  Found the cure here: http://www.000webhost.com/forum/customer-assistance/1311-i-cant-install-rate-my-photo-000webhost.html

  Thank you!

  Woop! Replacing the timthumb.php file with Ridhuan’s appears to work for me! Thanks!

  I still not resolved this same issue…. I need help!

  @skreative

  I just checked your site and all images are appearing for me.

  Please try and keep your posts for a single topic in a single thread. Spreading questions and answers across many threads makes it harder to answer and for users to get the benefit of the solutions. Thanks.

  Hello,

  I have changed file permissions to 755 and still get this error message. Site is http://www.evolution-security-services.com

  The following error(s) occured:
  Could not find the internal image you specified.

  Query String : src=/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/sguard2.jpg&w=64&h=64&zc=1

  TimThumb version : 2.1

  Thanks a bunch

  Hi, mmcreative.

  This will be a TimThumb issue. The first thing I would suggest you try is updating to the latest version of the TimThumb script, which I think is 2.8.11:

  http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php

  That worked! Thanks for the help and keep up the great work!

  I think this issue falls under this category to save from starting a new thread.

  I updated to the latest version of the theme yesterday – everything seems a-okay, except under the blog page http://kanebikes.com/blog/, none of the photos are showing even though the image links are correct. I believe every other image on the site is working/loading. Ideas?
