PDF to JPG not working from php front end

[fmw42]

phpinfo file have ghostscript in it?

My phpinfo does not show IM nor ghostscript, yet I can run IM just fine.

[danfar]

how can I check that - thanks

how can I check that - thanks

I am not sure what you are asking

[danfar]

"Within PHP, what is the value of $PATH? Is Ghostscript on the path? Can other binaries be run from within PHP?"

how can I check that

[fmw42]

try

exec("echo $path");

I do not know the answers.

Try running gs from the command line. If that works, then try the same command in exec(). You may need to provide the full path to gs when in exec().

[danfar]

if you put gs on command it says
Ghostscript 8.70 Cannot open X display `(null)'.
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.

same on /usr/bin/gs

[fmw42]

Sorry I really do not know that much about Ghostscript and don't know why it needs X display. Perhaps you have a bad install. My only thought would be to upgrade IM and Ghostscript.

[danfar]

I ended up reinstalling everything from scratch - now I can conver pdf to jpf from gs exec frontend but imagickmagick doesnt convert

i dont see gs in delgates could that be the issue?

where it shows delegates.

You told it no gslib. Try installing by adding --with-gslib=yes and --with-gs-font-dir=/fullpath2/ghostscript/fonts/ to your ./configure.

That would seem to imply that IM can find ghostscript. But did you install the ghostscript fonts also?

Did you try

convert image.pdf image.png

Does that work?

[danfar]

it think it worked - whatever we did its working now

FYI there are many sources and things i had to rely and look for e.g.
http://this-is-how-i-did-it.blogspot.co ... ck-on.html
http://mac-dev-env.patrickbougie.com/autoconf/
and a few more depending on your server

thanks again

[fmw42]

Glad to hear that you finally got it to work. Was there anything you found out from the other sources that might help some one else with the same problem?
