Images do not show - image magick

Saturday 28 April 2007 2:35:01 am

Hi,

I'm a relative newbie and I've created a test site using the wizard.

The configuration of my system is:
Mac Mini - Tiger OS X
PHP 4.4.1 (with Tiger)
Apache 1.3.33 (with Tiger)
Image Magick 6.3.3
Ez Publish 3.9.1
Mysql 4.1.22

It's been a fair effort to get it altogether and I have been reading all the official technical, user documentation and then the forums.

The default site created has a banner at the top and the usual pictures for the box products. The pictures do not appear and question mark appears instead.

The initial reason why I installed Image Magick was because GD did not appear preloaded with Tiger or atleast I wasn't sure how to get it running. I assumed once PHP was turned on through the apache module it would be there but it didn't appear during the wizard installation process.

Anyway, I installed Image Magick as per imagemagick.org.

I also read up on most of the forums regarding "images not showing" and went through:

"Image problem with ezpublish 3.9 on mac [solved]" Gerhard Sletten

That article was very helpful to make sure i got the path correct.

I used the command "which convert" which returned:

/lap/ez/imagemagick-6.3.3/bin/convert

and made sure the executable path in the:

"image.ini.append.php" was the same ie:

ExecutablePath=/lap/ez/imagemagick-6.3.3/bin/convert

I cleared the cache and reloaded the website to see if this made any difference with out any luck.

I'm pretty much stuck at the moment, so if anyone has any suggestions for this dumb arse that would be most appreciative!

kind regards

Appreciate your time.

I did try that one.

And I thought I'd go back and test that ImageMagick works.

I set it up using this page:

http://www.bigtrapeze.com/2006/09/06/getting-imagemagick-to-work-on-mac-os-x/

and at the command line tested:

convert chickenrice.jpg chickenrice.gif

and got the error:

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `chicken.jpg'.
convert: missing an image filename `chicken.gif'.

which I googled:

convert: no decode delegate for this image format

which resulted in me checking for the formats that image magick handles and entered at the command line:

identify -list format

and JPG isn't listed on the format. I read an article that JPG and other common formats are IP and have been removed - can anyone shed any light?

So I successfully did:

convert chicken3bmp.bmp chicken3bmp.gif

and loaded a gif and/or bmp file onto Ez publish.

Tried reloading cache each time, and refresh website and the images still do not show.

So now, i've verified that image magick(6.3.3) seems to be working for certain formats.

I can not seem to establish how to get EzPublish to show pictures even if have to use other formats.

Some other questions:
1) should I use an older version of image magick?
2) does it matter that i'm using a mac mini with intel core duo?
