"-dname= must be followed by a valid token" bug is back

[omegaphase]

I'm running ImageMagick 6.9.0-0 Q16 x86_64 2016-05-05 on PHP Version 5.6.21.

Prior to the 5/5/16 update everything was fine. Now I get (using "scriptfile.php" as a substitute for my script file & path):

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'PDFDelegateFailed `[ghostscript library] -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r150x150" -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 "-sOutputFile=/tmp/magick-15226q-ywFTZ78fvw%d" "-f/tmp/magick-15226_cHlE0bzLGiR" "-f/tmp/magick-15226zhqFo8xP875b"': -dname= must be followed by a valid token

Any suggestions? Or am I SOL until my hosting company updates Imagick again?

FYI it's on a GoDaddy shared server so I'm unable to make any changes with the installation.

What was the "Prior to the 5/5/16 update"; a php Update?

[omegaphase]

I'm referring to the date "2016-05-05" in the Imagick version when I run "convert -version".

Code: Select all

Version: ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 2016-05-05 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2011 ImageMagick Studio LLC

It reads as though Imagick was updated to 6.7.2-7 on 2016-05-05. Is that correct?

[snibgo]

That's the date IM was compiled. It was compiled from source code version 6.7.2-7, which is very old. Not, as your OP says, 6.9.0-0.

[Bonzo]

Just for your referance omegaphase Imagick is not written or maintained by the people who maintain Imagemagick.

Imagick is a php API for Imagemagick which can cause some confusion.

[omegaphase]

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. So by your estimation, if my version is upgraded do you think it will resolve my problem?

[snibgo]

You seem to have "updated" to a very old version, 6.7.2-7. What was your previous version?

[omegaphase]

I didn't - my hosting provider did. I have no idea, except that my PDF conversions used to work

[omegaphase]

OK, so the reason my OP says 6.9 is because that's what's being reported by phpinfo().

phpinfo():
ImageMagick 6.9.0-0 Q16 x86_64 2016-05-05 http://www.imagemagick.org

ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 2016-05-10 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

It looks as though there are two installations in two different locations, unless there is a better explanation? And it could be why I'm getting the error.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can test against one or the other to find out which one works properly?

Thanks in advance.

I have got similar problem. Everything was going fine before the 05-05-2016 i.e before updating Imagemagick. Now, what to do? Is there any solution.
By the way I too have shared server, so I cannot change the version unless the hosting provider do so.
Please help

Perhaps the host has installed two versions and you are now calling the old version. On Godaddy, for example, some servers have a very old version (6.2. and some have old but not as old (6.5.4).

Check with your hosting provider to find out if they have more than one version of Imagemagick and which one is being called by Imagick on your specific server.
