Ohhh, I had to be that person, i hope I can be forgiven 5.2.12a and embedded_images on Centos7 I have been running centos 6, but that has just become so outdated I had to try and make a move. Tried debian 12 first, now trying Centos 7. I have almost everything working except the embedded images module. It crashes trying to genearate the preview with 500. I have gd and image magic installed and php 5.6.40 running the lightspeed webserver. I have been out of coding for so long, but have spent 30 hours probably on chatgpt trying to sort it out...Now that was a tail chaser. is this worth pursuing to do I just leave the thing on centos 6. Thanks in advance Rob [edit] I saw something about the string functions being sensitive to timezone, and they are both CST.

Clicking the error will bring up the full image, but no joy on preview.
I think that is about a close as I am going to get, so, resigned to stick on C6 util the board dies.

if anyone has a brilliant idea, or just an idea, I may tackle this again.

Thanks
