Hi All,
after installatin of ez Publish 4.0.1 ImageMagick does not work although it seems to be working on cmd line. The image.ini override looks like below. So as to see images I need to turn off ImageMagick.

Any idea?
Thanks a lot for your help
Anita

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=false
ExecutablePath=/opt/local/bin
Executable=convert

[small]
Filters[]=geometry/scale=100;100

[medium]
Filters[]=geometry/scale=200;200

[large]
Filters[]=geometry/scale=300;300

Hi Ivo,
yes I did with command "which convert":
/opt/local/bin/convert

I also checked that convert is working in terminal/on command line and it does.

Thx
Anita

Then it is strange.

Look at var/log/error.log is it reporting something suspicious, maybe some problems with apache user rights on filesystem, or something similar

Hi Anita,

did you check that ezpublish is able to write on your var/ directory ?

I also notice "IsEnabled=false" instead of "IsEnabled=true"... If set to false, then ezpublish will try to use gd2.

You can also copy & paste in your command line what appears in the ezpublish debug.

Hi Arnaud,
thanks for your reply. Yes, I checked all read/write access rights on my var/ directory, and yes ImageMagick was/is enabled (sorry, copied the version where I disabled ImageMagick so as to go ahead with something else).

I receive the following error in my logs:

[ Dec 15 2008 14:16:58 ] [::1] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:
Failed converting var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/company/news/lyon-puts-europe-at-your-doorstep/913-1-eng-GB/Lyon-puts-Europe-at-your-doorstep.jpg to alias 'articlethumbnail' in directory 'var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/company/news/lyon-puts-europe-at-your-doorstep/913-1-eng-GB'

I checked the other Forum entries, tried different path settings in override image ini, but nothing seems to work.

Any other idea? Thanks for your help
Anita

Have you tried to run a convert line in shell, just to see that convert really works?

In that way I guess you'll find out if you have permission to run convert and if the converte execute as it should.

Some easy examples can be find here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php

Anita,

Afaik you should have the complete convert shell command just after the log you gave us. Running this command at the root of your ezpublish installation will give you more information.

Check your php.ini configuration. I had similar problem and reason was that system function was disabled.

Hi Tero,
that was a good hint. Thanks a lot, it works now. What I did:

in image.ini:
as I'm working on Mac I made sure that the executable name line for Mac was enabled:
# Name of the executable
# Executable=convert
# Name of the executable for windows,
# uncomment ExecutableMac for Mac specific converter and
# ExecutableUnix for Unix/Linux specific converter
ExecutableMac=convert

in php.ini:
I added the following line, although safe mode was off:
; When safe_mode is on, only executables located in the safe_mode_exec_dir
; will be allowed to be executed via the exec family of functions.
safe_mode_exec_dir =/opt/local/bin/

wherby /opt/local/bin is the directory where ImageMagick is installed.
And now it works.

Thanks a lot. Highly appreciated your help.
Cheers
Anita

I have problems with ImageMagick too: ezPublish doesn't show the images, as you can see from the pages below.

http://www.fclombardia.it/alfc/index.php?/ita/Mediateca/Galleria-di-prova/Image-with-ImageMagik
http://www.fclombardia.it/alfc/index.php?/ita/Mediateca/Galleria-di-prova (latest image: the other ones have been displayed using gd)

The settings/override/image.ini.append.php contains the following lines:

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=true
ExecutablePath=/usr/bin
Executable=convert

*/ ?>

I get the following errors in the ez log:

'From the phpinfo() i see that system function is disabled.for my hosting, is there a chance to run ImageMagick i ezPublish with system disabled?

SOLVED with this workaround in lib/ezimage/classes/ezimageshellhandler.php

changed

<i>system( $systemString, $returnCode );

if ( $returnCode == 0 )
{
if ( !file_exists( $destinationMimeData['url'] ) )
{
eZDebug::writeError( 'Unknown destination file: ' . $destinationMimeData['url'] . " when executing '$systemString'", 'eZImageShellHandler(' . $this->HandlerName . ')' );
return false;
}
$this->changeFilePermissions( $destinationMimeData['url'] );
return true;
}
else
{
eZDebug::writeWarning( "Failed executing: $systemString, Error code: $returnCode", 'eZImageShellHandler::convert' );
return false;
}</i>

with the following code

<i>exec( $systemString, $returnCode );

if ( $returnCode == 0 || $returnCode == null || count($returnCode)==0)
{
if ( !file_exists( $destinationMimeData['url'] ) )
{
eZDebug::writeError( 'Unknown destination file: ' . $destinationMimeData['url'] . " when executing '$systemString'", 'eZImageShellHandler(' . $this->HandlerName . ')' );
return false;
}
$this->changeFilePermissions( $destinationMimeData['url'] );
return true;
}
else
{
$returnCodeStr = implode( ' ', $returnCode);
eZDebug::writeWarning( "Failed executing: $systemString, Error code: $returnCodeStr", 'eZImageShellHandler::convert' );
return false;
}</i>
