We've identified a bug that causes -fx 'blue' to take way too long to complete. We will have a patch in the next point release.

It is more likely not the user it is run as, but the environment (command line and library paths).

Try
env - PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin" convert ....

It will probably need some LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting before it will work.

Remember a web program will not have configured any reasonable environment such as you would get when you start a interactive shell (and thus reading /etc and home directory initialization files).

When you find you solution post back here even though it will probably not be a IM problem.
