Running a newly installed instance of Modx 2.1.3-pl in a subfolder we’ll call ’subf’ off of the server document root. Everything is working correctly including phpthumbof calls on the front end of the site. However, in manager, all thumbnails are broken including those displayed for image tvs though I can see from the phpthumb cache directory that the thumbnails are being created successfully. There are no errors showing in the ModX or Apache logs.
From other posts here I have seen that not setting the PHPThumb document root can cause problems so I have set that to my document root and appended ’subf’. I have also set the configuration to allow image sources from above the document root to true which was also suggested as a fix.
The broken thumbnails have their src set to URL’s like:
http://myserver/subf/connectors/system/phpthumb.php?h=150&w=150&src=assets/templates/main/images/content-images/myimage.jpg&basePath=&basePathRelative=1&baseUrl=&baseUrlRelative=1&baseUrlPrependCheckSlash=1
and I believe this should be correct - however when I call such URL’s directly in the browser I get nothing.
In my .htaccess file I am setting the rewritebase to /subf/ though it makes no difference even if I leave it at the default value of /.
I can access the thumbnailed image from cache if I call it directly in the browser and I have established that everyone has read access on the image there.
I am totally out of ideas on how to tackle resolving this so would be grateful for any ideas or input.
The difficulty with the thumbnails seems to be the output stage but I can not figure out how to access the debug messages in PHPThumb.
