Trouble getting rotation features working

Johnny Doomo · November 2nd, 2006, 12:16 AM

When I try to use the rotation and flip/flop features I get this error:

Error rotating image!!
Error code: 1
/usr/bin/mogrify -rotate 270 /home2/mysite/public_html/images/data/500/189_gg_full_set.jpg

This is on 5.2 PP install. I know it's not a bad imagemagick install because I have another PP powered site that uses imagemagick also and it works fine, but it's installed on home and this site that's having problems is installed on home2. Could that be a problem? Both installs are pointed to the same mogrify as well.

Please help.

I would say its a bad imagemagick install or you have bad server paths entered

what are the paths on this bad install when viewing phpinfo in admin?

What do I need to search for in the phpinfo file to find the path? It works on one installation of PP and I can't figure out why it would be any different on the other install, but it won't work. Whatever I need to look for, should I look at it for both sites (the one that works vs. the one that doesn't) and report back what each says?

different installs different servers right
try recompiling imagemagick on this server that has an issue

No different installs, different domains, same server. That's why I can't figure out why one install works fine at rotating and the like, while the other install doesn't. I checked all the stuff in the config file and the admin config section and both point to the same server programs.

I would suggest checking permissions try doing a recursive permission set on your data directory to 777

That doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. I tried it and I even double checked all the permissions to an image that was giving the error from it's directories all the way out and all the directories had the 777 permission, but still nothing.

Any other ideas or places to look?

Not really cause only other thing I suggest is what I already did. You would recompile Imagemagick on the server
