This is a very common problem. It’s usually because the image manipulation program isn’t getting called correctly, and this can happen for a number of reasons. To diagnose the problem, follow these steps: • Verify that the binaries (NetPBM or ImageMagick) are installed correctly and are chmodded 0755 (including the directory they are in). • One common installation mistake is to put the executable in a path that contains spaces. This happens often on Windows, if either package is installed in Program Files. The executables must not be installed in a path that contains spaces. • Re-run the Configuration Wizard. On step 2, select the option to put Gallery into debug mode. Attempt to upload a picture using the web form interface, not the applet. There will be a whole lot more debugging messages now, and it will help to diagnose the problem.
