getting error: failed to load given url

Hi,

I am using Gallery component/package with gallerific.

When i go into the manager -> component -> Gallery -> click on album:
I can see the thumbnail name/caption, but the images do not appear. When i inspect element (firebug) the src of the thumb, this is what i get: failed to load given url and the url is:
/assets/components/gallery/connector.php?action=web/phpthumb&h=100&w=100&zc=1&far=C&src=%2Fassets%2Fcomponents%2Fgallery%2Ffiles%2F1%2F12.jpg

i added the domain to it and put back slashes instead and still get "failed to load given url".
http://www.shaysamia.com/assets/components/gallery/connector.php?action=web/phpthumb&h=100&w=100&zc=1&far=C&src=/assets/components/gallery/files/1/12.jpg

any ideas?

much appreciated
