SimpleViewer help.

Im not sure if this question is best in this section, if not please move it. Im trying to sort my website out, with my portfolio controlled by SimpleViewer. It seems quite nice and simple to use, but im having a slight problem. Ive uploaded all the files to my webspace, including the serverside php script to automatically generate thumbnails. When I run it, it successfully sorts the images into reverse date order and creates gallery.xml, but then on the next step it just stalls at; "Attempting to create thumbnails in thumbs folder:" Ive tried setting useCopyResized to true, but this hasn't made any difference. Strange thing is, its managed to create the thumbnail of the first image, but none of the others. All the files have been created in the same way and saved wit hte same .jpg options. any ideas as to where I could be going wrong?

Is the thumbs folder writable by the server?

Log into it via your FTP client and make sure its CHMOD options are 777

Thanks for the suggestion. I had done everything right, it turned out one of the images I was trying to upload was corrupt or had been saved differently having been through Noiseware. This caused the script to stop. I simply removed the offending pic and it all worked perfectly. Now all I have to figure out is how to embedd simpleviewer in a html page and get the look of the page to be controlled by a css page. Ive managed to embedd simpleviewer in a html page, but I can't get it to display in the centre of the page, and I can't get CSS pages working.
