cannot find image magick directory

[gary]

hello

when installing, i get this message:

The installer can not find the '/usr/X11R6/bin/convert/' directory you have specified for ImageMagick or it does not have permission to access it. Check that your typing is correct and that you have access to the specified directory.

i am positive it is at /usr/X11R6/bin/convert as another application uses it. i do not have console access to my server as I merely rent space. any suggestions?

thank you!

Try it without the 'convert/',  so your path is '/usr/X11R6/bin/'.

Try it without the 'convert/',  so your path is '/usr/X11R6/bin/'.

tried almost every combination of. still no go. including the default /usr/bin/X11/. nada. almost giving up

thanks though. any more suggns?

you could ask your webhost to check the permissions - the webserver/script needs execute permissions for the convert executable. Usually, if they grant you the usage of ImageMagick, they will give you this piece of information as well (or CHMOD accordingly).

Also, some users have reported that the install scriptcould not find the directory when it really was there, so they installed with GD, and then entered the path in the Config page, which worked for them.
