Hello all!

I've been told numerous times by numerous people that ImageMagick is far superior to GD... so, on my latest site (gallery) I've decided to give it a shot. Both my CPG (/CPG1410/) and ImageMagick (/ImageMagick-6_3_3/) directories are directly off the hosting root. I assume I've uploaded the proper thing, when you navigate to the directory via http you get an ImageMagick page... (http://www.MelsBGC.com/ImageMagick-6_3_3/)

In CPG, it asks for the path to the ImageMagick converter untility DIRECTORY as relative to the CPG install... to me, that means: ../ImageMagick-6_3_3/???? I'm not sure exactly which directory it's asking me to provide...

Any help would be totally appreciated - also any tips that might make this process easier... Thanks a lot from a new user who's hoping for the best.

I would have looked on the Coppermine Gallery gallery forum first rather than here. There are loads of posts about ImageMagick.

Try running this and use the path that is output:

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain"); 
  system("exec 2>&1; type convert");
// My output is: convert is /usr/local/bin/convert
// So path would be /usr/local/bin/convert
?>
