No images displaying on localhost (xampp) - Fine on server - HELP!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No thumbnail images displayed on the homepage on localhost
2. Can see the "working" site here: http://client.missmonkee.com/johntsagaris
user: client-login
pass: cl1entpassw0rd

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Localhost running xampp - I see no images and need to see them
Dedicated web Server - I see images

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Running OXS 10.6.4
timthumb -  r101 from Nov 07 (1.16)
Xampp - for Mac OS X 1.7.3
PHP Version: 5.3.1
GD - bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

Please provide any additional information below.

I've made sure all permissions are set correctly tried Chmod 777 & 755. 
Tried the temp folder INSIDE the cache folder and in the same level in 
includes. (conflicting arguments on the web for that one)
Can access timthumb.php directly with no errors: response: 
no image specified
Query String : 
TimThumb version : 1.16
Can access the images directly using absolute path in browser. 
Can give you access to my machine using teamviewer if needed.

Its driving me nuts... I'm sure there is a simple explanation but it's very 
annoying. Can anyone help? :)

did you work this out? What page are you seeing the problems on? All the pages 
I tried are working as expected.

I had this issue in a machine running ubuntu. I replaced this code:

    // check for unix servers
    if (file_exists ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/' . $src)) {
        return $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
    }

With this code:

   // check for unix servers
    if (file_exists (dirname(__FILE__) . '/' . $src)) {
        return dirname(__FILE__);
    }

For more info about dirname(__FILE__) see :

I had the exact same issue on my local server running XAMPP 1.7.3 under Windows 
7 Ultimate 64 bit. No images locally, but fine on staging server. My GD library 
version is 2.0.34 "compatible" whatever compatible means. I've found that the 
following statement is always negative, 

if (function_exists('imagefilter') && defined('IMG_FILTER_NEGATE'))

therefore it never executes. Any solution for this? Since it works on the 
staging server it is not that critical, but unnerving. Would be nice to see a 
fix.

I have never been able to get timthumb to work on a localhost.  Xampp, Wamp, or 
otherwise.

Try it now. Looks like some servers combine STDOUT and STDERR and if there are 
any php warnings in timthumb it gives you this error. I've removed and fixed 
many of these issues that cause warnings, so please try the latest code and it 
should work. Closing this for now.

in this function
protected function calcDocRoot(){ // line 816

*add* var_dump($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); to check your local path
example: D:/SVN-Homes/PHP/trunk/myprojectfolder
*delete* var_dump($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

*add in line 817* if(preg_match('/SVN/', 
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']))define('LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY', './');

I used SVN in my case, but you have to define your own identifier

This worked for me!!

@luy
could you please explain why you set to './' the LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY?
This isn't working for me :(
I have my project index stored under c:\wamp\www\MYPROJECTNAME\web\

Thank for any help.
