I'm having the same problem. My host just installed ImageMagick and I know I've got the right path, but I get that same error when I try to create thumbs.
What can cause this error??

well,

i think that will be a incorrect installation of imagemagick ..
or, big pictures, or a digi cam pic (from some digicams imagemagick can't manipulate the pic's)

Maybe you should try the path again without the K in image magick
(image magic )

The reason I believe the path is correct is that when I tried other paths first I got this error:
ImageMagick error. Wrong path or ImageMagick not installed.
Check module settings.
When I put in the current path /usr/local/bin/convert I did not get the error. With that path I am able to go to the Auto-Thumbnailer page, and check for thumbnails, but when I try to Create Thumbnail I get the error. I am trying to make thumbnails for 2 images- 1 from a digital camera, and 1 from a webcam image, neither of which are working.
Is the ONLY other option that ImageMagick was incorrectly installed? I don't know much about it, but it seems that when I stopped getting the "ImageMagick error" that 4images recognized ImageMagick as functioning correctly. Does that make sense? My host claims to have been testing ImageMagick for days before releasing it to their customers, so according to them it should be set up fine.
Any ideas?

exact same thing here. And my domain is with A+Hosting. A pretty big hosting company. I think they'd know enough to give me the right path.

when I told my hosting company that imagemagick lets me make thumbnails of gifs but not jpg's or anything else they replied,

"That sounds too specific to be ImageMagick.  It could be the script."

I talked to my host again and was told I have all 3 thumbnail programs installed. So I tried them all.
image magick = only makes thumbnails for gifs.

netPBM = says it makes thumbnails, but they are 0kb in size.

GD = tells me "Create thumbnail for: cam fun (5pic.jpg) ....  
Warning: ImageCreateFromJpeg: No JPEG support in this PHP build in /users2/s/sintensity.com-42095/public_html/gallery/includes/image_utils.php on line 71"

   Error creating thumbnail!

ImageMagick & Errors
« Reply #12 on: October 07, 2002, 06:59:11 AM »
Here's a solution as ImageMagick is tricky with php files. You'll need SSH access.

Open a ssh session on your host and type .. whereis convert .. or locate convert .. or find / -name convert. it's usualy located in /usr/local/lib but it's best to do the search anyway. whereis will be fairly precise in the search whereas locate will give you anyfile or directory in which the string "convert" appears. find is the most precise of all the search options.

Then just type that info into the setup for ImageMagick where is asks the path to ImageMagik.

For example on our CPanel server it's: /usr/local/bin/convert

By typing that as the path everything works great with the script.

Hope this helps...if you don't have SSH and on CPanel just try the above. Won't hurt and maybe it will work for you!

On the money

:lol: Thanks a lot, your info was on the money. The install info says nothing about pointing to convert. I have wasted too much time on a very simple problem.  Thanks again
