I get a response code "1" from
What little info I can find about response codes indicates I should be getting "0"

I can force errors and get other values.

Does the "1" mean I have an error?

A return code from the convert program of zero means success, anything else is an error. Make sure the return code is coming from the convert program. Try adding -debug all to see if any exceptions are thrown.

Found the suspects, have no idea if they are meaningful:


[154] => 15:01:25 0:01 0.600u 6.2.6 Exception convert[27190]: blob.c/OpenBlob/2085/Exception
[155] => unable to open image `x': No such file or directory
[156] => 15:01:25 0:01 0.600u 6.2.6 Cache convert[27190]: cache.c/DestroyCacheInfo/1760/Cache
[157] => destroy
[158] => 15:01:25 0:01 0.610u 6.2.6 Exception convert[27190]: blob.c/OpenBlob/2085/Exception
[159] => unable to open image `1200': No such file or directory

The debugging output tells us that the convert program is getting something other than the command line you sent it. Its getting an 'x' and '1200'. You'll need to determine why that is being passed to the convert program.

I found the problem, hope this helps someone else

I thought the "x" and "1200" looked familiar.

My command was written as:
-resize $width x $height [$height is 1200]

Solution was obvious

-resize {$width}x{$height}

All's well that ends well. It's a wonder the command worked.

In ImageMagick 6.2.6-7 Beta we added a new log statement to display the actual command line being passed to the convert program to make debugging situations like yours easier. All you need to do is add -debug configure to the command line to get this information (and of course use ImageMagick 6.2.6-7 or above). The patch will be available by tommorrow.

You need something like -debug all, you have -debug followed by e a file name.
