[b]Installing Auto-Tumnailer[/b]

hi, can some tell me who to install that it says:
Select module to create thumbnail.
Check module settings.

How do I check modules?

[Jan]

Hi,

Go to "General -> Settings" . Under "General settings" you will find "Conversion tool for thumbnails". There you can select the module for thumbnail creation. Note: the module must be installed on your server.

Hi, i have downloaded ImageMagick, but it seems too complicate to install it on my host unix server, because i am not that expert yet. Can u give a short lesson on how to install ImageMagick to the unix server? thanks alot.

Sorry heygu.  Unless you have root user access to your web server, it's not likely that you're going to be able to install this yourself.  

Installing new software to the system, not your user account, is a function reserved for the web server administrator.  You could try asking your hosting provider to install it for you.

OK, thanks for let me know this. However, what should i say when i email to my hoster? do i just say plaease install ImageMagick  for me or something else? i am afarid that they don't know what i am talking about. thanks.

I have had the same problem. I go to the homepagages og GD and images magic and wonder whtat to do.
Then I read the best way is to try if some of this is installed.
I choose GD in the admin and it works. Perhaps this is so too, by you.
Most GD is installed.  Try it first.

Greetings Elke

[heygu]

The GD is not installed on my host server either. My hoster sucks!

[Elke]

Then I think you can only write a mail to your hoster.
Perhaps he install one of these .
That is the only thing you can do.

greetings Elke

[heygu]

thanks dude, i'll do it.

I am runing my own server and want to install ImageMagic.  Can anyone walk me through it?  I downloaded the tar file and uncompressed it but thats as far as i got.  What do I do now?

Thank you for your time,
Zim

Zim,

you must have the "root access" for installation of ImageMagick .

I need help on GD. I thought the GD is not installed on my hosting server, but they said it is.  So, i go to the control section and selected GD. very dispointing, still not working. Any advise? thanks.

[Chris]

It is possible that PHP was not built with GD.  Make a file called "phpinfo.php" and put inside it the following:

Code: [Select]


<?php
phpinfo&#40;&#41;;
?>


Upload it to your web server and load it in a browser.  Look for the line that says "Configure Command".  It should show you something like this:

'./configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.23' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-gd' '--enable-ftp' '--with-xml'

If you don't see "--with-gd" then you have your explanation.

[heygu]

cool, i got it. thanks.

my another question is where all the images stored after uploaded?  in my web server or mysql database? i can't find them.
