Error 127

[Steff]

Hi, just completed a migration from one server to another and users are reporting the following error:

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 127 Command: "/usr/bin/X11/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 100x75 -quality 90 -geometry 100x75 -unsharp 10

Can you help?

You must do one of two things.

1. Set in admin => config settings set the proper server path to mogrify on the new server

2. Set in admin => global options set your image processor to GD2 if you do not have imagemagick on the new server.

OK I did find a reference to Error 127 and did what was suggested and changed from ImageMagic to GD2 but got this error instead.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3488 bytes)

Is this because PHP memory is set to default 8mb?

[Chuck S]

Yes indeed

maybe try this

Hang on... Just checked with the host and they forgot to include GD2 and ImageMagic in the Apache install ... DUH!
So I'll report back in an hour or so after the server has been recompiled.

Not a problem hope all goes well.

This error happened to me too. I set it to GD2 and I'm fine now.

Yes to use Imagemagick it needs to be actually installed on your server and you need to have placed the proper full server path to it in your config.

Usual locations are

/usr/bin/mogrify

/usr/local/bin/mogrify

You would need to ask your host if it is really installed.
