 * Hi After pictures are uploaded the thumbnails don’t generate. When I try to remake
   the thumb it gives this error: Comm error 500: Internal Server Error
 * when I tail -f the Apache server log when trying to generate a thumb it doesn’t
   trigger entries. I also have enabled in the wppa.php error_reporting( E_ALL );
 * Thanks,

 * Also the source file is 2448 x 3264 px. 2.28 Mb
    Most of the photos being uploaded
   are taken from iphone and we don’t want to limit the sizes to ensure we are receiving
   the best quality possible. Server is on AWS and specs can be increased if needed.
 * Photos with less resolution/file size seem to work. For example: 1936 x 2592 
   px. 899.53 Kb

 * Figured it out. Had to go into my php.ini and change memory_limit from 128 MB
   to 256 MB. Now Thumbnails work,
 * Thanks,
