Title: Instller cannot fine convert - but it's right there
Post by: ericob on March 17, 2005, 07:05:49 AM
Why do you suppose Coppermine gives me this error?

The installer can not find the 'convert' or 'convert.exe' ImageMagick program in directory '/usr/X11R6/bin/'. Check that you have entered the correct directory name.

When I navigate to this directory, I clearly can see the program "convert."

Do you administer this server?  Has ImageMagick been installed correctly?  Can you execute ImageMagick commands from the command line?

Thanks for the reply.

My mistake for the moment.  For me, "Convert"  is in /usr/bin/ not /usr/X11R6/bin.  I was thrown off by the "hint" text, plus looking at the wrong part of the screen (heh-heh) to determine my current location.  And... I was getting SQL errors (a weird naming convention was needed).  When I went back into the install script, I was so happy not to get an SQL error that I forgot to enter anything for the ImageMagick path.  Things finished and I manged to get an image loaded into the database, so I suppose Coppermine is using "GD."
