[resolved] Thumbnails not Generated on Ubuntu Server (4 posts)

    I have a local installation of WP on XAMPP running on windows xp. I also have another installation of WP (same files) on LAMPP running on Ubuntu server.

    All features on WP at XAMPP (XP) are working fine but on LAMPP(ubuntu) thumbnails are not generated. Photos are uploaded (I can access it on "wp-upload" folder) but the thumbnails are not generated.

    File/folder permission on "wp-content" directory is set to 777.

    My WP installation on ubuntu is located on /var/www/unitel/dir which is own by a User named "unitel" under "user" group.

    Files are uploaded via vsftpd where folders are given a 755 permision by default and 666 permission for files.

    What settings did I missed why the thumbnails are not generated? Help would be greatly appreciated. Really. :)

    PS
    I inspect the uploaded files on "wp-uploads" folder and noticed that the files had a 644 permission. Maybe it does have something to do with my problem but I'm clueless.

    Make sure GD is installed. From a command line:

    sudo apt-get install php5-gd
