I’m having a problem with ImgSizer all of a sudden.  I know for sure that the custom file field i have set up is parsing the right folder location for the original image, but if I try to use ImgSizer, whether with the variable name or even by hardcoding the file name, I get:

Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://jacobs.ehclients.com/index.php/about/test_list” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.

I’ve seen mention of this in some older forums as well.  I updated to the latest ImgSizer (2.6.4) and I’m on EE 2.1 build 20101020 and hosted on Engine Hosting.  This is the first time I’ve run into any issue with it.  The sized folder did automatically create itself based on the target file i had set. and the permissions on thje sized folders are correct.  But the file is not being created and the page that uses the plugin tag pair simply goes blank in Firefox and generates the above error in Safari.

Anyone have a solution?  I’ve come to reply on ImgSizer so I’d really like to keep using it!

Thanks,
Jean

No one have a solution for ImgSizer suddenly not working on EE2? Anyone else experiencing this problem?  EE2.1.1 with ImgSizer 2.6.4 on EngineHosting?

Hi John,

I had the similar problem and couldn’t find any solutions here in the forum.

This is what worked for me:

I deleted the existing /sized/ folder and created a new one with permissions set to 777 (full path: /sized/images/uploads/photos/) // Turn On Template Debugging to see the exact path on your machine/server.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Valon.
