Imagemagick not working - but it should!

Wednesday 22 January 2003 8:23:50 am

Two facts:

1. Imagemagick works fine on my ez 2-2-7-1 installation.

2. Imagemagick does not work on my ez 2.9-6 installation.

This is all I can say after having spent a full day pulling my hair.

I run ez publish on a webhost and since I got ez2x to work (path is /usr/local/bin/convert) I can safely conclude that Imagemagick works on the webserver.

So, rest of the day I spent trying out all of the different combinations of:

path1: /usr/local/bin/convert
path2: /usr/local/bin/
useGD: true
useGD: false

(I tweaked both image.ini and image.ini.php)

(yes, installed the demofiles during db setup, and I double checked my ezimage table: it is full off example images).

So, what the heck is wrong here?

The whole installation went very smooth apart from one thing: modefix.sh script which gave me error messages (see post http://developer.ez.no/forum/message/13646/)

However, the web-install (which I ran after unpacking the .tar.gz file and trying to run modfix) completed without errors or any warnings (except the "fine-tune" which kindly reminded me that the program couldn't find Imagemagick), just had to chmod a few files.

So, I'm completely stuck. Any input is much appreciated!

Kindly,

Try this:

[ShellSettings]
ConvertPath=
ConvertExecutable=/home/local/usr/bin/convert

It worked for me (this tip came from Alex - see my latest post).
