Presumably you created the thumb directory and set the permissions correctly when you were running in safemode? See localsettings.php:
## If you want to use image uploads under safe mode, ## create the directories images/archive, images/thumb and ## images/temp, and make them all writable. Then uncomment ## this, if it's not already uncommented: $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
and I assume you've commented that line back out now that you're out of safe mode.
I think that changing out of safe mode changes the directory structure that mediawiki uses for images. so when you changed out of safe mode and changed your localsettings file i think it also changed where images are stored and where thumbnails are created...

You see the problem I have is this - I got to public_html then into
'Wiki'
and then into 'Images' but there is no folder named 'thumbs' to set the permission.
Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image

The image directory is set to permission 777 as I believe that
permission
allows the uploads to commence on Wiki. So I'm assuming thats the
permission
that allows apache to read and write.
All the images in the 'Image' file are 'apache' I think - as the UID and
GID
on them all are 'apache'

Jono,
I just went through all this myself. You need to make sure that the permissions on your image directories are all set so that apache can read and write to them and that apache also has permission to use the convert utility. If it doesn't, then it can't create the thumbnail and you'll get a no such file error (tho you should also be getting a permission denied error in that case)
(In case your provider is running SELinux... I also ended up running selinux in permissive mode because everytime I uploaded a new image, apache had no access to it... don't know how your hosting service would feel about that, but if you set all the permissions properly and still get the error, you might ask them about it.)
hope this helps, Andrea

Ok I've done that And Safe Mode is now turned off and there are no

Although it doesn't actually do it I tried to thumb a pic on the
main
page
and where the image was ment to be it came up with this -
Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image

Any Idea on how to do that?
If you're on a hosted server, you must request your provider to turn off Safe Mode. If they refuse to do so, you'll have to switch to a different webhosting provider.
