Installation of Image Magick on Wamp

[Loveleen]

I did the following yet the image Magick extension doesn't get loaded

1. I downloaded and installed the binary ImageMagick-6.7.5-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe at c:/imagemagick
2. added to the httpd.conf file
SetEnv MAGICK_HOME c:/imagemagick
3. downloaded the Windows binaries for imagick 2.3.0 compiled with VC6 (threaded) from http://www.sk89q.com/2010/03/vc6-window ... ick-2-3-0/ and placed in the php extension folder.
4. added this line to php.in
extension=php_imagick.dll
5. restarted the wamp server

The wamp tray shows the extension as enabled but apache error log shows the error,

Code: Select all

 'PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.8/ext/php_imagick.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
    <br />
    <b>Warning</b>:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.8/ext/php_imagick.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.'

My wamp server version is 2.2

The phpinfo doesnt show the imagick extension to be loaded. Any help would be appreciated.

I did the same as you in xampp except for not doing step 2/ and in step 3/ I used a dll I found online and it used to worked OK.

Unless you have to have Imagick I would not bother with it and use exec() with the command line options. Imagick does not seem very well supported, documentd or have as many options.

Any idea on which Windows binaries should I pick for the extension?

Have you checked out this site: Mikko's blog

[Loveleen]

Yes, I did but it didnt work

I too am having issues. I have tried many, many versions, as well as Mikko's suggestions. I would even welcome an older version if I knew which is the correct DLL to use.

Please help. I prefer using the PHP API Imgick();

Second! I'm not just having issues with installing ImageMagick on Wamp, but it also destroyed a harddrive on Kubuntu when I tried to update it with it's unusual "dependent packages".

Getting ImageMagick to work anywhere seems to be a tremendous pain. You're lucky you never coded anything in ImageMagick, because then you'd simply have wasted all of your time.

Perhap http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/ will give you some ideas. Sorry I am not a Windows user.
