I'm trying to figure out if I need to use GD2 or ImageMagick. When I went to display my phpinfo.php file, this is the only thing shown:
QuotePHP info
This is the output generated by the PHP-function phpinfo(), displayed within Coppermine (trimming the output at the right side).
Having others see your phpinfo can be a security risk, that's why this page is only visible when you're logged in as admin. You can not post a link to this page for others, they will be denied access.
I have coppermine installed in a subdirectory:
http://www.jaynedarcy.us/coppermine
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
phpinfo() might be disabled on your server. Check the debug output.
If a host is paranoid enough to block phpinfo(), it's almost guaranteed they won't let you shell out to imagemagik. There's very little reason to use imagemagik since GD2 now comes bundled with PHP.
Where do I see the debug info?
Are you saying that since GD2 is bundled with PHP I should just use GD2?
Yes, try GD2, it should be your first stop. Only if this doesn't work for you (i.e. you don't have GD2), try using ImageMagick. Debug_mode is a config option.
Thank you. This issue is resolved for me now.
