    Hi,

    I get
    <br />
    <b>Warning</b>: imagejpeg() [<a href='function.imagejpeg'>function.imagejpeg</a>]: Unable to open '../cache/images/269fd06bef3c099337c5cb5f8899e223.jpg' for writing: Permission denied in <b>/var/www/vhosts/troyjones.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/striking/includes/timthumb.php</b> on line <b>300</b><br />     with the link http://troyjones.co.uk/wp-content/themes/striking/includes/timthumb.php?src=http://troyjones.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/slider_teignmouth_landscape1.jpg&h=440&w=960&zc=1

    That mean you don't set the permission correctly.

    Please check.

    Regards,

    Ah ok what other permissions might altering??

    I have double checked wp-content/uploads, striking/cache and includes/timthumb.php are all chmod 777..

    SOLVED!

    KaptinLin you where right it was a simple permission problem.. If any one else has this problem image folder inside striking/cache also needs to be chmod 777.

    Thanks again for you help and advise.

    Cheers

    Kindest Regards

    Mine was working perfectly but now isn't. The black band and slidebox show up, but no slides. has the lil rotating circle like their coming, but nothing. Cache/image Permissions are all set to 777.
    Thoughts?

    Hi thementn,

    have you set the permission of 'striking/cache' folder to 777 and 'strking/includes/timthumb.php' file to 777?

    Yes, both are set to 777.

    I have the same problem as thementn. My sliders worked yesterday, but after updating my striking theme to the new version. None of the images will show in any slider except for the Flash 3D slider. All permissions are set correctly.

    It only occurs with the 'Image with Caption' type

    There was an error and my host, HostGator ran a script to correct this after a chat with a tech: I'll copy the chat below that'll maybe help someone else who has ran into this:

    (07:01:37 AM) Benjamin Su: The error came up as a permissions error, then I ran a script to fix it.
    (07:06:07 AM) Benjamin Su: 777 will not work with suPHP.
    (07:06:14 AM) Benjamin Su: 755 acts as 777 for suPHP.
    (07:06:46 AM) Benjamin Su: suPHP is using mod_sec
    (07:06:59 AM) Benjamin Su: Which is a security rewrite on the server.
    (07:07:45 AM) Benjamin Su: Yes, tomthumb can be blocked by mod_sec. But that is not the case.
    (07:08:03 AM) Benjamin Su: I understand your instructions say 777, but due to mod_sec you do not need 777 and 755 will operate as.
