How do I turn on exif?

[Chuck S]

that is a valid link

[pgowder]

So any other ideas?

[Chuck S]

Not without looking to ensure you have the switches correct in admin or any other info you can provide in server logs etc.

Windows is a buggy system and this is most likely a permissions issue

What do you need access to?

What permissions should i check?

[Chuck S]

well what kind do you have? Do you have access to the backend where jhead is and to set permissions?

Have you installed Imagemagick and seen if that works? If that works installing jhead that should work as well

Sometimes getting those installed on windows can be tricky to say the least so for us to hypothesis an answer to assist we usually need lots more info or errors otherwise its like trying to hit a target in pitch black

I have full server access through Remote Desktop.

Yes, I have Imagemagick installed, should I use that instead?

[Chuck S]

Yes use that and tell me if that works.

I'll try it and see what happens.

But I just saw this:
http://www.powwows.com/galleries/sho...php?photo=5745

This is on an older photo and it is displaying exif info. So was this copied to the db a long time ago?

[pgowder]

Sorry for the delay, had some other issues come up.

But I'm back on this.

I've tried using imagemagic and get this error on upload:

Yep two things to note about windows and imagemagick

One reinstall Imagemagick in a short path those long paths are trouble. Try C:/imagemagick

Next after you do that try removing in image-inc.php twice this

+profile \"*\"

Still getting an error:

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

Command:

"c:\imagemagick-6.0.8-q16\mogrify.exe" -size 100x75 -quality 100 -geometry 100x75 -unsharp 10 C:/Inetpub/vhosts/powwows.com/httpdocs/galleries/data/500/thumbs/IMG_7004.JPG

Thats a permissions error make sure all the data directory is 777 and then install it in c:\imagemagick

Don't think it could be permissions. If it is all working now using GD right? It's all in the same directories.

[Chuck S]

Definately permissions.

Your on a windows server and getting imagemagick working can be tough at times most people give up and use GD2

Have you tried in image-inc.php setting the switch to NT where noted in that file?

What is this setting?

I have GD2 working great, but it won't pull exif. I feel like we are just going in circles!

[Chuck S]

Jhead Imagemagick all the same if you have permissions errors at a server level you are not going to get them to work. Having you install Imagemagick and see that not work tells me you have permissions errors with jhead as well imagemagick.

GD2 works because it is part of PHP and does not interact with the windows operating system like the other processors do.

Did you do as I say and try setting the NT switch in image-inc.php?

That's what I asked in the last post, what was the change exactly. I'll try that.

Ok, so you are saying it is a permission problem. It can't be on the data directory because PP moves files there already.

Are there other directories that need permissions?

[Chuck S]

Do what that line states in image-inc.php thats why I linked it here

It says set the switch for $OS to say NT in that file where I noted that way it uses cmd.exe not exec

If that does not work we are at the end of the line because there are no other suggestions I can make.

That didn't help. Still same error.

[pgowder]

I found a thread that I opened a couple years ago about this same problem.

Back then it was cmd.exe that was giving me problems.

What permissions does it need to have?
