Convert command from ImageMagick does not work, and saying convert: unable to open image :

[PleskQuestion]

Hi,

I’m trying to use convert command from ImageMagick like below by placing in.JPG right under httpdocs, and had an message like below. I’ve also tried to place the files several other directories in order just to test to find out what will happen and the results were the same.

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# convert in.JPG –strip out.JPG
convert: unable to open image `in.JPG': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: missing an image filename `out.JPG ' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.

I do not think that the problems come from the directory issues, and have no idea what is casing this. I would appreciate if you could give me some tips.


OS：centos-6 (x86_64)
Plesk 17.0.17
ImageMagick-6.7.2.7-6.el6.x86_64
ImageMagick-devel
php-devel
PECL imagick

What happens if you do "ls in.JPG" immediately before the convert?

Thanks for your reply,

I tried and had results like below,

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# convert ls in.JPG -strip ls out.JPG
convert: unable to open image `ls': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `ls' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
convert: unable to open image `in.JPG': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: unable to open image `ls': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `ls' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
convert: missing an image filename `out.JPG' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.

"ls" is a Unix command, not part of IM. "ls" will show the filename, if it exists.

I am suggesting you try the Unix command "ls in.JPG" before the IM convert command.

[PleskQuestion]

snibgo,

Thanks. I tried below and had the result like below which simply indicates that there's not in.JPG there.

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# ls
id_rsa.pub parallels plesk_installer

Now, how can I change the below command line using the directory where I know there is in.JPG?

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# convert ls in.JPG -strip ls out.JPG

[PleskQuestion]

snibgo,

Trying to be more simple,

How should I write convert command line knowing there is in.JPG under the below directory?

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]#

/httpdocs/upload/temp_image/in.JPG(and out.JPG)

[fmw42]

try

Code: Select all

convert /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/in.JPG -strip /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/out.JPG

if that does not work then put the full path to convert.

Or

Code: Select all

cd /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/
convert in.JPG -strip out.JPG

[PleskQuestion]

fmw42,

Thanks. Great information.

I've tried like below and still have same messages saying No such file or directory. What could the problem be here?

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# convert /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/in.JPG -strip /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/out.JPG
convert: unable to open image `/httpdocs/upload/temp_image/in.JPG': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: missing an image filename `/httpdocs/upload/temp_image/out.JPG' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.


[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# cd /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/ convert in.JPG -strip out.JPG
-bash: cd: /httpdocs/upload/temp_image/: No such file or directory


[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# convert /httpdocs/in.JPG -strip /httpdocs/out.JPG
convert: unable to open image `/httpdocs/in.JPG': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: missing an image filename `/httpdocs/out.JPG' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.


[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# cd /httpdocs/ convert in.JPG -strip out.JPG
-bash: cd: /httpdocs/: No such file or directory

I would say this is a Plesk problem and nothing to do with Imagemagick. So I would ask the question on a Plesk forum - possibly permissions?

[snibgo]

No such file or directory. What could the problem be here?

The answer is: there is no such file or directory. As you can't "cd /httpdocs/", how do you know that directory exists? Does it exist?

[PleskQuestion]

snibgo,

Thank for your reply.

So it's a directory issue instead of a permission, or...

Sorry but, I'm still confused of what I should do.

I placed in.jpg like below which,I think, means that there are files and directories exist.

/httpdocs/in.jpg(and out.jpg)
/httpdocs/upload/temp_image/in.jpg(and out.jpg)

What should I do or what convert command line should I exactly write now considering the kind of messages I have been getting?

[Bonzo]

You should see the in.jpg image in your browser if you go to www.your site name/upload/temp_image/in.jpg as long as those folders ar not restricted in any way.

[PleskQuestion]

Bonzo,

Thanks for your time.

I could see the image with below.
http://xxxxx.com/upload/temp_image/in.jpg

I could not see the image with below.
http://xxxxx.com/in.jpg

[Bonzo]

So the image is there and in the correct path.

It looks like you just need to get the correct path in your command line; try:

Code: Select all

convert upload/temp_image/in.jpg –strip upload/temp_image/out.jpg

I see you have .jpg and .JPG in different places but you are on a Windows server so it should should not matter but would on a Linux server?

[PleskQuestion]

Bonzo

Thanks.

I tried as you explained and had results like below.

[root@server-XXXXXXX-X ~]# convert upload/temp_image/in.jpg -strip upload/temp_image/out.jpg
convert: unable to open image `upload/temp_image/in.jpg': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2589.
convert: missing an image filename `upload/temp_image/out.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.

Now, someone suggested me to try command line below to find out the permission and found that root does not have httpdocs.

Does this suggest you the kind of covert command line I should use in order not to receive the error?
