2,349 PointsUnable to create new image” error in wordpress dashboard image editor
My server is nginx and wordpress version is 3.8.1. I can upload images but when I try to edit the image (scale, crop) it gives below error and doesn't show picture.
I have tried with 400kb to 1mb picture both has same problem.
I found on internet that it can happen because of GD library is not available. I have installed GD library but still getting same error. Also tried this solution http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/1597/wordpress-image-editor-not-working-conflict but no luck.
I have de-activated all plugins but problem is still there
I have changed theme to wordpress default theme, but still problem is there.
here is the video of the problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/87vitm2k00lbg84/2014-03-20%2016h26_35.mp4
Can anyone help me?

If no joy then it's going to be server related and you need to look into the configuration you have.
