Hello,

A problem recently sprung up where I get an error message when trying to upload a thumbnail Image to accompany a video file.

Here is the error message that I get:

n error has occurred while interacting with the platform.

The exact nature of the platform error is unknown. A common cause are insufficient file system permissions. This can happen if you or your webhost changed something in the file system, e.g. by restoring data from a backup.
Back to the Gallery

Error Detail -
Error (ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE)
in modules/thumbnail/classes/ThumbnailImage.class at line 214 (GalleryCoreApi::error)

System Information
Gallery version 2.3.1
PHP version 5.2.12 cgi-fcgi

Operating system Linux hostingprod.com 2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.YAHOO.20120713.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 13 11:40:51 CDT 2012 x86_64
Browser Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.60 Safari/537.11

This process worked fine the last time I uploaded a video just over a month ago, and I have not made any changes to Gallery since that time.
The web hosting service also claims that they did not make any changes, or any restorations as noted in the error message.

The new video plays fine, but there is no thumbnail.

Please see the videos on the site: http://edvaldivia.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=321

Thank you for your help.

As always we first clear the cache FAQ: How can I clear cached data?

Then make sure you have the right filesystem permissions for the storage directory.
FAQ: How can I fix the filesystem permissions of the Gallery storage folder?

Ok, I deleted both the database and the template caches, then a recursive permission change on g2data. I still cannot add a new thumbnail to the last video that I uploaded.
Thanks again for your help/

ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE
means either the server cannot write to g2data, or the DB is having issues.

Check your DB for crashed tables
