Upload and then things go blank

[xluk]

Chuck, would it be hard to change the code so, instead of a blank timeout page, we can show some kind of warning to the user? eg. The warning can suggest that they try to resize their image before uploading it. Just a suggestion and thanks for working on the new Betas - looking good.

well not really the easiest thing to do which is why it has never changed.

we tried some type of detection years ago but it was unreliable. GD2 is part of PHP of it shuts down PHP which is why you get a blank page.

There are numerous posts when using GD2 to alter your PHP memory_limit through your php.ini file or use the ini_set line.

Yeah I spotted those, thanks. I'm going to try and use ImageMagick instead as, reading your posts, that's less likely to result in blank pages.

[Chuck S]

yes indeed Imagemagick is better

have a similar problem with a blank page while uploading larger files.

how can i change from gd2 to imagemagick?
imagemagick is installed on the server and the path is /usr/bin

You can set your processor and full path to it in global options and config settings in admin.

what do you mean by full path?
my hoster says that the imagemagick is reachable at /usr/bin
and that the comman is /usr/bin/convert

which of them should i use for the confing settings?

[Chuck S]

/usr/bin/mogrify

That is the proper path if its at /usr/bin

[Tiryaki]

ok, now using imagemagick.

thank you..
