Did anyone ever have this problem? With phpThumbs, some of the remote images that are processed bring up the 404 error in phpThumbs, but if you go to the image directly it exists. This is a strange problem, and I cannot seem to find a solution. The image exists on the remote sever and can be accessed, however phpThumbs brings up the 404 anyway. If you disable the error notification in phpthumbs, then the image displays fine, but then the errors won’t show.

Same thing happens to us. We can’t have pictures in “share on facebook” and stuff like that because we get the missing picture instead of the one that is actually there. Help?

I still think this is a big problem and I am a little closer to finding a solution, so I am hoping that by posting this here, someone with more knowledge can help us.

v1.2.3 - December 19, 2003
1092     * Added anti-hotlink code so the thumbnail script on
1093       one domain cannot be used by another domain. The
1094       list of allowed domains defaults to the current
1095       domain but is configurable below as
1096       $config_nohotlink_valid_domains. The message, text
1097       size, colors and whether to blank the image or not
1098       are also configurable

How do I edit “$config_nohotlink_valid_domains”? That seems to hold the key.

This is a big deal for us, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

anitza,

you can find that information in the FAQs

Q: “Off-server thumbnailing is not allowed”—how do I enable it?
A: By default, phpThumb() only makes thumbnails for the same
  domain that it is running on. To allow it to make thumbnails
  for a limited number of other domains, add them
  (in phpThumb.config.php) like this:
    $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG[‘nohotlink_valid_domains’] = array(
      @$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’], ‘example.com’, ‘www.example.com’,
      ‘subdomain.example.net’, ‘example.org’);
  To disable off-server thumbnail blocking, just set:
    $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG[‘nohotlink_enabled’] = false;
