Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I am stuck. I installed image magick. Look at the bottom here.
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/68491
Whatever I try, it won't work. That means on command line everything works, but for none of the php scripts it works. What am I doing wrong? It worked before, but I had to downgrade php since Plesk wouldn't work with the latest version of php but still using 5.1

Alright nobody reacts so I will try one more time

According to me exec() is allowed. Installing ImageMagick gave me the following installation configuration

Why can't the php programs find imagemagick?

Are you using a PHP module or command line calls.

More than likely you are making command line calls. However PHP from the web usually runs in a different environment to the command line with a differect path, and sometimes as a completely different user. These can cause problems.

For the path look at IM Examples, API, PHP
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#php

Or find Rubble Web ImageMagick pages who specializes in using IM command line from PHP.

As for user problems, you may need to make sure directories and files are readable and if needed writeable by the user PHP runs as.

It looks as if it is attempting to run command line IM but with images and extra error output in a specified application 'tmp' directory

It is not reporting any error results from the IM commands, (are they in /usr/local/bin ?) but as the command and errors are being directed into that temporary file it may be the application is not seeing any results at all.

Check that the directory is a proper 'tmp' that is read and writable, and usually with a directory sticky 't' permission (only owner can delete rename files). and that it is empty at the start.

A listing should have permission flags like... drwxrwxrwt
Note the 'd' for directory and 't' for 'sticky'. that is the same permissions
used for "/tmp"



There are lots of methods that can be used for debugging the above situation, though many require experience and knowledge about how things work to use.

For example replacing the IM command with a shell script wrapper to log things like.... time, date, environment, check permissions, run the real IM command, check results are generated and not zero, etc etc etc. In such a way it is posible to collect and check on possible problems and fix them to restore the system.

Anthony, thank you for your patience and kind help.

The directory is there, and these are the permissions

This is what I have in /usr/local/bin

See above, I have never seen the sticky 't' permission and wouldn't know how to make it that way. This is a linux machine.

Well, I am not ignorant but not knowledgeable either. I can do a lot with finding solutions on the web, copy and paste, it's not my main job. I am a web hoster by chance. This machine is installed with Plesk and that's not supported by the company I am hiring from. I didn't know that from the start, so I am more or less on my own there. The other machine is installed with cPanel and that works fine. The Plesk machine is sometimes giving me headaches, but then again, I need it. My own (huge) websites are on it and a couple of other customers have websites there. I haven't had any complaints yet that imagemagick doesn't work, except from myself.

I tried some things. e.g.
/usr/local/bin/convert -size 200x200 -geometry 200x200 /var/www/vhosts/genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/httpdocs/gallery/modules/imagemagick/data/test.gif /var/www/vhosts/genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/httpdocs/gallery/g2data/tmp/imgk_UmiowU
gives me nicely imgk_UmiowU in the tmp directory.

Anthony, found it. Obviously the directive disabled_functions was twice in the php.ini. So I could change the first one as much as I wanted but it would be overridden by the second.

That's what you get if you let others (read Plesk support) fool around with your server.

Thanks for thinking with me.
