Image Question

videogamemojo · March 9th, 2009, 02:03 AM

It would appear my webhost doesn't currently support imagmagick so I have a couple of questions. Firstly is there any way to host or install a a program like Imagemagick myself to run from my site? Secondly, is there a way to just turn on thumbnails and still allow users to post images in ads? As it is now the images upload alright but the preview images all show no image available. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can only install Imagemagick is you have SSH access to the server

PhotoPost PHP Photo Sharing Photo Gallery ImageMagick Installation Guide

You can set your processor to GD2 if its installed and use that to process images should work fine. try it out and let me know.

Thanks for the quick response,
I attempted to utilize gd2 by changing the options last night but got the same results. I will attempt again when I get home in a bit.
Being unfamiliar with GD2 could you tell me more about it? Is it remotely hosted like imagemagick and what not? Thanks for any response.

You can check under admin => phpinfo to see if GD2 is available. If it is you should be able to use it, Otherwise you need to have your host install an image processor to be able to process photos. Thats one of the core requirements of the program to have one of those on the server.

Hello again,
It would appear that Imagemagick is indeed available on their server. My assumption is that I have an invalid file path somehwere. This is the error I get when trying to upload and image with imagemagick:

Warning: copy(/home/videogam/public_html/Classified/data/2/thumbs/xbox360logo.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/videogam/public_html/Classified/image-inc.php on line 464

Warning: unlink(/home/videogam/public_html/Classified/data/2/thumbs/xbox360logo.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/videogam/public_html/Classified/image-inc.php on line 504

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 127

I am working on it now so we will see if I can figure it out.

And one more problem. Whenver I click on show my ads or do an ad search I get this:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/videogam/public_html/Classified/showcat.php on line 559

Warning: Division by zero in /home/videogam/public_html/Classified/pp-inc.php on line 1717

I am starting to think it would be best if I try another install not sure though.

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 127

You dont have the correct path to imagemagick in your config settings. To upload images you need to have a proper image processor setup.

Number of columns for thumbnail pages.

In your admin settings you can not have that setting in admin show categories options set to 0 you need to set it to a higher number like 4 which is the default

OK so I decided to a fresh install and corrected the path to imagemagick so that seems that it may work now. However, after completing step 4 of the install i get the following errors, perhaps the permissions need to be changed in the stated files?

Have a good one.

videogamemojo · March 11th, 2009, 03:47 PM

Dang thought I was good to go

I am getting this error when attempting to post an ad with an image:

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

Command: "/usr/bin/convert" -size 100x100 -quality 70 -geometry 100x100 /home/videogam/public_html/classifieds/data/4/thumbs/xbox360logo.jpg

Chuck S · March 11th, 2009, 03:54 PM

we use mogrify so you need to put the correct path to mogrify in config settings in admin not convert.

videogamemojo · March 11th, 2009, 05:24 PM

Yay it worked finally

Thanks for putting up with me
