During installation, I get :
"The installer can not find the '/usr/bin/' directory you have specified for ImageMagick or it does not have permission to access it."
I'm not sure why I am getting this message, or how to work around it. I installing cpg133 on a shared domain. The hoster does have ImageMagick installed. The path to it convert is: /usr/bin. If I start an ssh session, I can execute convert without any problem.
I can install using the GD choice, but I'd prefer ImageMagick in order to get support for GIF thumbnails.
thanks,

Try GD instead of IM and read GIF support (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=9407.0) to find out how to get gif support in coppermine using GD. If you insist on ImageMagick, ask your webhost to change permissions on the folder ImageMagick's convert executable lies in: the user the webserver runs under needs r-x permissions.
I'm having the same problem. Dedicated server that I own. Tried installing it into the vhost dir of the domain too, and no luck. Its some type of access rights issue, but I can't figure it out. If I point it to /tmp (where convert is NOT at) it errors:
`The installer can not find the 'convert' or 'convert.exe' ImageMagick program in directory '/tmp/'. Check that you have entered the correct directory name.`
So I'm not sure what is causing the access errors, and I will not switch to GD. Any help is appreciated.
Server/Config info:
Linux: FC2
IM originally installed to `/usr/local/bin` second attempt at `/home/httpd/vhosts/domain/im`
The directory would be /usr/local/bin/
If you can't get ImageMagick working correctly, your best bet would be to visit the ImageMagick forum and ask your config questions there.
IM works fine @ the command line. Its just Coppermine has some weird access restrictions to it which I cannot figure out.
Working from the command line isn't the same thing as working from within a PHP script. You have to configure the ImageMagick directory to allow PHP to access it.
Howsabout some insight on this configuration then? I've tried everything I know, even `chown apache`and it still doesnt work. How come it can access /tmp but not /usr/local/bin?
this is the wrong site for ImageMagick things, I suggest checking the ImageMagick boards

Have you tried /usr/local/bin/ and NOT /usr/local/bin when it asks for imagemagick path during installation?

Exactly what I said earlier in the thread.
OMG Yes, im not a fucking retard. The problem is not associated with IM. Its associate with Coppermine not having access to the FOLDER in which IM is located (/usr/local/bin/). So why does Copper not have access rights to /usr/local/bin/ ? That is what I cannot determine.
It wouldn't be Coppermine specifically, it would be the user that apache runs as. su to that user and try the command.
