    I'm trying to run FreeDMS V 0.81-020726 on SuSE 8.0:

    The ImageMagick tool 'convert' for creating the previews seemes to consume such an amount of CPU time for a normal sized PDF-file that the whole system (GHz Athlon)  hangs ... and if generated, where to find those thumbnails on the FreeDMS webpages?!? Is there a way to tell 'convert' to just produce previews for the first pages of the document?

    Another problem uploading PDF-files comes up with documents of about 1.5MB in size: small files are added to the database correctly but on files bigger in size (90 pages is not a realy "big" document, isn't it?) 'DBD::mysql::st' does produce the message 'execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at dms.pl line 671.' in the apache log.

    Any suggestions?!?

    THX

      The Preview Image is in the "Details" View. At this time i cannot test this, i am very busy, sorry. For ImageMagick help try this:

      http://www.imagemagick.org/www/convert.html

      You can disable the Preview setting in the FreeDMS.cfg. In this File you also can change the command for "convert". Look for $config{"converter"}{"Linux"}{preview} to change the command line or $config{"display"}{"previews"} to enable/disable previews.

      Cause the size of stored Documents: Look for the Variable set-variable=max_allowed_packet=1M and change it to set-variable=max_allowed_packet=16M inf the mysql config file. The configfile is /etc/my.cnf.

      Hope this helps, regards Jochen

      The 'preview' was enabled for detailed view but no thumbnail was shown on the webpages ... since i do not need this feature for now, disabling the previews does work for me to also get around the 'convert'-problem.

      reconfigured the mysql config, files of more than 1MB of data do work fine now.

      thanks a lot for your rapid answer and detailed help!
