Title: How about IMAGEMAGICK GUIDE LINES.
Post by: alex26 on January 23, 2003, 10:15:14 PM: I have been reading and reading and reading some more. So far many people seem to have the same problems... I have a problem getting IMAGEMAGICK to work also. I don't get a error just a blank page that sits there. I have tried everything the forum said.

I am running w2k server, with IIS 5

*I Installed PHP 4.3.0-installer.exe
With Microsoft iis 4 or higher option
As well the Directory has uploadtemp\iuser access
*I installed ImageMagick-i686-pc-windows.exe
Install dir was c:\imagemagick\
*I installed mysql-3.23.54-win
*4images has ability to IUSER read and write to DATA directory

When I ran the 4images install.php I made sure that the IUSER could access everything. The install was fast and everything worked.

I have setings imagemagick:
c:\imagemagick\convert.exe

Is there something else I should be installing to make this work??
Is there a list of things to install?

If you find newimage.jpg in this directory, 100x100 px size, then your problem is not with ImageMagic...
Title: yes.. the convert comand works..
Post by: alex26 on January 23, 2003, 11:09:44 PM: yep.. I have tried that.. and it works perfect.. even the the path is set so it works in all dirs. still in the my 4images web I can't generate any thumbs. or even see anything on the page for that matter..

Title: gd
Post by: alex26 on January 23, 2003, 11:42:10 PM: well not to sound stupid... I have tried to go to the site to get GD... so far.. I have no idea what they want you to install..

GD library error.
Check module settings.

GD library is a part of your PHP installation. Check your php.ini... Since you're running PHP under Windows, just uncomment one line in php.ini (I'd recommend GD2)

I had the same problem on the same configuration. After some research I found out that php for win32 doesn't support the function "is_executable"

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-executable.php

It is used in includes/image_utils.php :

Code: [Select]
switch($config['convert_tool']) { case "im": $convert_options['convert_path'] = check_executable($convert_options['convert_path']); $convert_options['convert_path'] = preg_replace("/".check_executable("mogrify")."$/i", check_executable("convert"), $convert_options['convert_path']); if (!@is_executable($convert_options['convert_path'])) { $convert_options['convert_error'] = "".$lang['im_error']." \n".$lang['check_module_settings']; } break;

there is a @ in front of it so it will not show an error about function not found... when you comment out these 3 lines it will work!

Code: [Select]
// if (!@is_executable($convert_options['convert_path'])) { // $convert_options['convert_error'] = "".$lang['im_error']." \n".$lang['check_module_settings']; // }

I noticed, that many scripts that I tryed were working fine with v4.2.3, but quit working after upgrading PHP to v4.3

So far, I'll stick with v4.2.3 that is more campatible.

On my Linux computer it works fine (php 4.3) ;) so it is only on the windows version I presume ?
