Image thumbnail styles are not created

Question

I'm moving a website in a production server and it appears that the image thumbnails aren't created from an Image Field in a content.

The images are uploaded correctly but no files are created in styles folder. I've already set to 0777 each folder in case of a permission problem, but it's not that.

The big problem is that I can't remove the images, probably because it raises a forbidden file as it doesn't exist. The only error log I can find is an access denied but nothing else.

Does anybody has the same problem ?

It works okay on local... maybe an Apache issue to look at ?

Solution for Drupal 8 that worked for me:

• create sites/default/files/styles folder manually
• set its permissions to 775
• create .htaccess file in this folder with following content:

<Files *>
  SetHandler none
</Files>

Answer 2

Having the same problem with a brand new Ubuntu 19.10 installation on development laptop.

As suggested in https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/224999/97472, adding

<Files *>
  SetHandler none
</Files>

is fixing a problem, image style generation works fine. However, this is not an optimal solution. Finally, figured out that i forgot to add apache mod-rewrite module. Executing next lines in console fixed the problem fully, no need for .htaccess manual fix:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
systemctl restart apache2

Sometimes this is related to an odd space in one of your module or PHP files before the opening PHP tag... for example:

_
<?php

/**
 * Stuff here.
 */

That little line where the underscore is present can cause thumbnails to break on first render. See: Image styles not generated on first page load until page refreshed on Drupal.org.

To see if this might be your issue, grep your entire codebase for any files that have a newline, then a <?php tag. In my case, I found that the contrib Block Styles module had a submodule with a newline before the opening tag, and that caused a fair amount of grief!

Answer 4

From settings.php Drupal 8, please try add following:

$config['image.settings']['suppress_itok_output'] = TRUE;
$config['image.settings']['allow_insecure_derivatives'] = TRUE;

suppress_itok_output = True for remove itok token from image.

I used this snippet code which forces drupal to create image style for an image :

$styles = ImageStyle::loadMultiple();
$image_uri = $entity->getFileUri();
/** @var \Drupal\image\Entity\ImageStyle $style */
foreach ($styles as $style) {
  $destination = $style->buildUri($image_uri);
  $style->createDerivative($image_uri, $destination);
}

this code can be used in a function iterating on a group of nodes, select their image and create styles for them or could be used as file upload hook so any time an image is uploaded the styles would be created manually.

Drupal 8 solution for drupal image styles not generating:

set the permissions to 775 to sites/default/files/ folder. command [ $ sudo chmod 775 /var/www/html/drupal-8.7.6/sites/default/files/]

Comment the "SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2013_003" line in files folder .htaccess file.

Add the following lines in .htaccess file.

# Override the handler again if we're run later in the evaluation list. #SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2013_003 SetHandler none

Having tried multiple owner change commands and permissions did not work. The solution was simply :

sudo a2enmod rewrite

systemctl restart apache2
