Product Images Problem

[architect]

I have a site which works perfectly, I have done a clone of the site and now I am have problems with the thumbnail images that display next to the product name on the category pages.

 

If I make change to the image height and/or width in configuration/images, the images display but when the page is refreshed, I get the nice little box with the red cross to show that the image can't be displayed!

 

I have had a look at the images directory and I can see that there are now lots of thumbnail images, it seems that every time I refresh the page, a new thumbnail is created.

 

The cloned site is on the same server as the one which works perfectly but at a different web address, I have checked both the configure.php files and they look OK and everything else works exactly as it should.

 

I have a feeling that the server is running Gallery but I can't remember how to check if that is true or not.

 

Has anyone any ideas on wha the problem might be and how to fix it?

 

Thanks

I think I may have found a partial answer to this one myself.

 

I found that in product_info.php on line 163 there is the following code

 

document.write('<?php echo '<a href="java script:popupWindow(\\\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . $product_info['products_id']) . '\\\')">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], addslashes($product_info['products_name']), SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH*2, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT*2, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>');

 

I found that changing the 'SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH*2, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT*2' to 'SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH*1, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT*1' the small image on the product page is now displayed correctly.

 

Now that I have changed this code, the multiple thumbnail images are not being generated anymore.

 

Hope this helps someone else
