ImageMagick problem

Saturday 22 October 2005 10:59:27 am

Hi,

i have limited access to my webserver. No shell access at all :-(
So i tried to install the convert program from ImageMagick into cgi-bin - where it runs without problems.
I then tried to configure ezPublish to use the convert. ezPublish lies in an ezpublish-subdir on the same directory-level as cgi-bin.

website
..cgi-bin
....convert (ImageMagick)
..ezpublish
....settings
......override
........image.ini.append.php

In image.ini.append.php i wrote:

[ConverterSettings]
UseConvert=true

[ShellSettings]
ConvertPath=/website/cgi-bin/
ConvertExecutable=convert

[Rules]
DefaultRule=image/jpeg;convert
Rules[]=image/jpeg;image/jpeg;convert
Rules[]=image/png;image/png;convert
Rules[]=image/gif;image/png;convert
Rules[]=image/xpm;image/png;convert

With debug on i get the following error message:

Failed executing: convert '-quality' '75' '-geometry' '100x160>' {...} Error: , Return: 127

I tried the following as ConvertPath:

/website/cgi-bin
../cgi-bin
../cgi-bin/
/cgi-bin

I tried to preface the absolute pathnames with the absolute path of "my" dirs on the server:

/is/htdocs/16712/website/cgi-bin

Nothing works. The error message is always the same.

If i call convert directly via http://.../cgi-bin/convert it works an produces the usual usage text.

HELP PLEASE!

Ciao, Udo

After analysing ezimageshellhandler.php i saw that the error message should output the complete PATH that it uses. That means: The ConvertPath is ignored!
I tried to hardcode the path to convert and it works without problems.
That could not be the solution...
Why is my entry in settings/override/image.ini.append.php (CHMOD is -rw-rw-rw) ignored???
Any ideas?

Ciao, Udo
