problems using ImageMagick

d3nnis · May 9th, 2006, 11:10 AM

hi there,
I have installed ImageMagick following your guide on http://www.photopost.com/howtoinstall-php.html (how to upgrade by the way? noticed the one on the guide is an older version)

and i did a locate mogrify and i can find them as below :

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

however during installation when i specify the path to mogrify as /usr/local/bin/mogrify , i keep getting the below errors (no issue if i installed PP using GD2)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

This is making me go nuts!

Just install and continue and see after installation if it works. Our site links 6.23 Imagemagick there are surely new versions. Sometimes on install the server will not return whether it can find the variable depending on permissions issues.

any issues if i install imagemagick using root? can my hosting account user still use this mogrify?

If this is your server and you have root access this is the preferred method of installing it

yup its my server and have root access to it.

I check on the permission of mogrify... it shows

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24038 May 9 23:32 /usr/local/bin/mogrify*

so any problem letting my hosting account, eg abc uses it? is it due to permission?

If it was installed with enable shared it should work fine for other accounts.

ok now i have installed PP using ImageImagick and I am able to upload photos, so doesn't this means that ImageMagick is working finely with PP?

If your using Imagemagick set as the processor in Global Options yes that would mean everything works fine.
