can't create thumb images via a module.

[mikeali]

hi there - i'm running joomla 2.5/3+ and everything seems to be working fine with the exception that in a module, the module is supposed to be writing a thumb image to a folder (zentools) however it cannot write to its thumbnail path correctly. I have the following permissions on my joomla sites directory:
Administrator (full control), Users (read & execute), iusr (modify), creator owner (full), and system (full). I have been troubleshooting this for weeks now and couldn't get anywhere. my php.ini file and it's file permissions looks correct. I believe my tmp folder has proper permission as well. I'm really out of ideas. please advise.
