Timthumb Is Broken

I am using Mimbo 3.0 but Timthumb is not working on my front page:

http://obscuresound.com

I have tried everything from re-uploading the theme from scratch and trying a bunch of CHMOD functions (777, 755, etc... all the CHMOD recommendations don't work).

I still think it is a permission issue... it fetches images from this source:

http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo/scripts/timthumb.php?zc=1&w=105&h=85&src=/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mbell2.jpg

The odd thing is that mbell2.jpg is actually there, but my server is not letting timthumb access it at all. In fact, timthumb is entirely inaccessible. I get an internal server error when trying to access it: http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo/scripts/timthumb.php

I have tried re-uploading timthumb and changing CHMOD permissions, but nothing has resolved this.

My host has an updated GDE Library and all the requirements so I don't know what the issue is.

I would appreciate any support.

you can close this thread now; I fixed it.

I just had to set my CHMOD permission to 755 wherever it was 777 and delete my .htaccess files... my server does not allow any 777 permissions so this fixed the problem right away.

the solution to this very common issue always seems to be CHMOD related, so everyone should be sure to set ALL questionable folders to 755. I had to check my host's error log to see what the issue was, and it told me a specific directory had too many permissions open. Changing the directory to 755 fixed it right up.
