This is not an image that can be manipulated and create-asset doesn't work

[tyssen]

Following on from the discussion in https://discord.com/channels/456442477667418113/1404942671188852788 the site in question was moved from a shared cPanel host to ArcusTech to solve the issue of cwebp not being available.

Now it is available and I've been able to successfully regenerate some webp images using craft image-optimize/optimize/create --force but having an issue where the server seems to run out of memory with some images.

I've tried resizing the images I think are the problem but then if I run craft image-optimize/optimize/create-asset XXXXX (with or without --force), to fix the image I've resized, rather than doing just that one image, it processes a large list of other images and eventually gets to a similar point where it stops due to the mysql error. So I'm not able to regenerate variants for the image I've resized.

And then more recently I discovered that when we're uploading new images, where the variants should appear, you get the message "This is not an image that can be manipulated" instead.

I believe you've come to a conclusion on this, based on our discussion on Discord?

I actually posted this after that discussion. It seems to have resolved itself mostly because it turned out there was a large queue backlog that needed clearing. After that, missing images started being regenerated properly. At least, that's what the client reported after the queue was cleared and I haven't heard back since.
