If you have trouble getting IM to work under windows, try to copy the cmd.exe to the PHP directory. For me it worked!

this worked for me too, been messing with permissions for a whole day now with no luck till i tried that, thx for the tip

One of my programmer has suggested the following hack to make Image Magick work on Windows + Apache even if IM is installed in c:\program files etc
in picmgmt.inc.php put

            if (eregi("win",$_ENV['OS'])) {
                $cmd = "\"".str_replace("\\","/", $CONFIG['impath'])."convert\" -quality {$CONFIG['jpeg_qual']} {$CONFIG['im_options']} -geometry {$destWidth}x{$destHeight} ".str_replace("\\","/" ,$src_file )." ".str_replace("\\","/" ,$im_dest_file );
                exec ("\"$cmd\"", $output, $retval);
            } else {
                $cmd = "{$CONFIG['impath']}convert -quality {$CONFIG['jpeg_qual']} {$CONFIG['im_options']} -geometry {$destWidth}x{$destHeight} $src_file $im_dest_file";
                exec ($cmd, $output, $retval);
            }

instead of just

                $cmd = "{$CONFIG['impath']}convert -quality {$CONFIG['jpeg_qual']} {$CONFIG['im_options']} -geometry {$destWidth}x{$destHeight} $src_file $im_dest_file";
                exec ($cmd, $output, $retval);


Can someone test this claim?

If you use W2003 just be shure to allow CMD.exe as an extention (just like PHP).

Sorry for being a n00b

I tried the search etc.
But how do I do this? I know where, since I manually added the php.exe associated with .php but what extension should I use to associate with cmd.exe?

thanx in advance
