Product thumbnails with IIS

[mamunari]

Hello
Ive intsalled Prestashop on a IIS Server and everything seems to work good except a single problem:
when a customer tries to upload an image for a product ( for customization) the thumbnail generation doesnt work, due toand gives
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 100000001 bytes) in C:\inetpub\vhosts\stampadafile.it\httpdocs\images.inc.php on line 156

if a comment out this line the upload works but a new problem rises: the generated thumbnails has no extension, and IIS doesnt serve no extension files...

someone has ideas?

thanks

It's been a while since I was on a IIS Server, but I recently had a similar error on my Apache server. I don't think this is an error with the code. I was able to figure out (at least in my case on my apache server) that it was a timeout/memory allocation issue. You may want to check you php.ini to adjust the maximum memory settings... I think I also adjusted somethings in my fastcgi settings (but I don't think that error had anything to do with error you're having above, but may be worth taking a look at).

HTH!

I am having the same problem. Has anyone found a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm hosted on godaddy. This is my info if it helps:

Operating System: Windows Hosting
Type: Shared Hosting Hosting Configuration:
.Net Runtime Version: ASP.Net 2.0/3.0/3.5
PHP Version: PHP 5.x
IIS Version: IIS 7.0

see attachment.

So I figured it out.

From what I understand, the problem is with IIS 7 and MIME types. IIS 7 will only serve certain files with certain file extensions. You can edit this on the server side to accept file extensions not already included.

The problem is:
1. With Godaddy you do not have access to configure IIS 7.
2. The thumbnail file generated does not have a file extension.

This is my solution:
1. Copy and paste the following code in a text editor:









2. Save as "web.config" (without quotations)(Encoding UTF-8).
3. Upload to the root directory of your PrestaShop.

By using wildcards this tells IIS to serve all file extensions including files without extensions.
