I have a CMS script that we have used for sometime. We are migrating sites to a new server. When you upload an image through the script, the script creates a separate thumbnail image and an original size image. That info is then passed to a page where there is a link created and loaded with the thumbnail. The link points to a javascript pop-up window when clicked that enlarges the thumbnail. On my old server, this worked great but on the new server only the original image uploads. The thumbnail from what I am seeing doesn't even get created. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? Is it a Perl or Apache config type thing? I do not know much about PERL programming, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I would suggest looking at ImageMagick and Perl::Magick. These are exactly what you need.

I have installed ImageMagick based of this tutorial:
I restarted Apache as well. I am still getting no image creation of thumbnails.

To access ImageMagick with perl script you must install Perl::Magick from CPAN.

Whatever you were using on your old server will have to be duplicated on the new server to work the same as the old one. None of us here know how your script was generting thumbnails before. Probably ImageMagick but there are other ways to do that.
