Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

OK, I am really starting to go batty with this. I am running ResourceSpace for DAM and I am unable to get it to create my thumbnails (I get a 'No Preview' graphic). When I run the check.php file, it shows ImageMagick, Ghostscript and FFMPEG as 'OK' (FFMPEG not working either, but that further down on the priorities).

I have ImageMagick Installed (From the package ImageMagick-6.4.5-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe) and it is functioning (According to the commands I ran after installation as per the website).

I am running PHP 5.2.6 and I downloaded the DLL extension from Here. I chose the php_imagick.dll php-5.2.1 (5_2) as it most closely matched my PHP version.

I added these lines to my php.ini file:
[PHP_IMAGICK]
extension=php_imagick.dll

and dropped the DLL file into my php\ext directory. I have restarted Web Services, and even the server itself.

When I check my phpinfo, the only reference to 'magick' is in Path under the 'Environment' area.

Please help! I dunno if my fragile psyche can take much more of this!!

"Automatic thumbnail creation for hundreds of image and document types including JPEG, GIF, PNG, PDF, TIFF Photoshop PSD, InDesign, OpenOffice using ImageMagick. Support for most digital camera raw formats using dcraw (view full list)"

I don't think you need Imagick there.

Huh??? Did you even read what you posted there?

""Automatic thumbnail creation for hundreds of image and document types including JPEG, GIF, PNG, PDF, TIFF Photoshop PSD, InDesign, OpenOffice using ImageMagick."

I Need ImageMagick, especially since I have hundreds of EPS files and have no intention of manually converting them.

Can nobody here help with this issue? Is there anywhere else that I can get support for this?

Since your ImageMagick is working, it is more likely to be an installation problem with ResourceSpace rather than with ImageMagick itself. Perhaps a path/permission error. Have you asked in the ResourceSpace user forum on Google?

Pete,
I have double checked all my settings in ResourceSpace, but I believe my issue is PHP related as mentioned in my original post.

My phpinfo.php does not show any instances of the IMAGICK extension being loaded, it shows my ImageMagick and PHP locations in the Path variable, but that's it. I assume (From previous experiences getting MySQL working on another server) that if the extension is not loaded, it is not going to work. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am not a programmer, but I am very technical.

Thanks.

From the tiny bit of info about ImageMagick that I can find on the ResourceSpace site, it looks to me like you only need to install ImageMagick, not IMagick.
But I've never used PHP, Imagick or Resource Space.
Your best bet is to ask on the ResourceSpace user forum on Google.

I installed IMAGICK because ResouceSpace is written in PHP. My assumption was that it would require the extension because of that.

I have posted on their forums asking if this was a required step or not. I will find out more and post back.
