Problem with ImageMagick

jawz · Post by **jawz** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:05 pm

ImageMagick is installed but when I try to upload an image I get:

Unable to execute: "/usr/bin/convert -antialias -scale '110x110' '/home/httpd/vhosts/jawz.us/httpdocs/uploads/pope.jpg' '/home/httpd/vhosts/jawz.us/httpdocs/uploads/pope.Thumb.jpg'", error: , return var: 127

Any ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions.

This means that either your PHPs safeMode feature is enabled, or the exec() functions are blocked by your PHP.

Check your installation and contact your system administrator. Or disable imagemagick if you have PHP's gdLib.

Thanks Garvin! I put php_admin_value safe_mode Off in my httpd.conf and it works now.

OK, I have probably a stupid question! I disabled ImageMagick and it solved my problem but what am I going to break by disabling it?!

You simply won't have any 'fancy' image manipulation functions, that's all.
I've always used mine with IM disabled.

Basically the GDLib can do everything that imagemagick can do. Only imagemagick though allows to convert PDF images to a thumbnails. That's the only feature you'll loose.
