ImageMagick - Cannot execute the script

[no1wammy]

I'm a newbie trying to get ImageMagick to work on my Coppermine under Windows 98. After I installed ImageMagick, I tried to integrate it with Coppermine by including the path (C:/ImageMagick on my computer). After I saved the changes, this message came up:

"The installer found the ImageMagick convert program in C:\ImageMagick, however it can't be executed by the script."

This happens to both the DLL package and the complete package.

1. How do I fix this?
2. What script is Coppermine talking about for ImageMagick?

I'm assuming that the gallery can only use one image utility at a time: GD for PNG and JPG files, ImageMagick for all image types. I was thinking that you could try implementing the imagecreatefromgif() or getfilesize() commands on your scripts, but you'd have to create your own thumbnails from a program like Adobe Photodeluxe (which was what I used before). Is there any way around this (like a hack)?

Windows 98 as server OS? Come on - use GD. The extra image file formats supported by ImageMagick don't belong on a webserver anyway. From the docs:

If you are using ImageMagick convert utility to resize you picture, you must enter the name of the directory where the convert program is located there. Don't forget the trailing "/".

If your server is running under Windows, use / and not \ to separate components of the path (eg. use C:/ImageMagick/ and not C:\ImageMagick\). This path must not contain any space so under Windows don't put ImageMagick in the "Program files" directory.

ImageMagick will hardly work if PHP on your server is running in SAFE mode and it is a real challenge to get it running under Windows. Consider using GD in these cases and don't waste your time asking for support in the forum. There are too many things that can prevent ImageMagick to work correctly and without a physical access to your server it is hard to guess what is wrong.

Don't waste your time attempting to use Windows 98 to host a webserver.  If you absolutely feel the need, certainly don't use it for anything more than a test box.

[Joachim Müller]

From the ImageMagick website:

Windows Binary Release
ImageMagick should run on Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP. It is recommended to use an NT-based version of Windows (NT4, 2000 or XP). Starting with ImageMagick 5.5.7, older versions such as Windows 95 are not supported anymore. The amount of memory can be an important factor, especially if you intend to work on large images. A minimum of 128 MB of RAM is recommended, but the more RAM the better.

I am using Windows 98 as a test box. It gives me a chance to feel what it's like to actually run a website for a change. It's been one of my dreams.

Then how am I supposed to deal with GIF files? That's one of my big three, you know.

This is what I get for not using Google efficiently. Next time, I won't register rashly without considering all my options first.

After I added a mod, I uploaded a GIF file. The message said that the upload was successful, but when I clicked Continue, there was no thumbnail. What gives?

You know, the only way I'm gonna be able to get actual help is if I show you a website that actually uses GIF. Problem is: can't do it.

[Joachim Müller]

did you read the upload troubleshooting stickies?

[kegobeer]

You also verified you have a PHP version that has GD 2.0.28 or newer?

[no1wammy]

> You also verified you have a PHP version that has GD 2.0.28 or newer?

According to the PHP info, it says I have GD 2.0.28 compatible. Bundled was also in there. GIF read and write support was also enabled.

> did you read the upload troubleshooting stickies?

Where I had to turn on Debug mode for all and set Permissions to Single File Upload?

This is what I did:
1. I clean-installed Coppermine without executing install.php
2. Added GIF support to the scripts
3. Executed install.php
4. Changed settings so that Debug Mode can be viewed by everyone and Groups Console to Single File Upload - AND checked to see if permission is set to code 777 or 755 (that's mine). The other is 644.

You know, I did not read that sticky.

I will, however, provide the Debug code if you ask me for it.

[Joachim Müller]

You know, I did not read that sticky.

Do so now please. Then do as suggested and post the information that we need. Do not post the debug_output. We need actual error messages and a non-admin test user acount (as suggested in the stickies).

[no1wammy]

I'm going to start this topic over. Can you delete this thread?

[kegobeer]

We don't delete threads.  Just keep adding to this thread.

> non-admin test user acount (as suggested in the stickies)

I do not know what that actually means. But, just to be on the safe side, I created a test account with Registered privleges.

I hope this works...

Side Note (Only if you're interested):
- YH stands for Yuri Heaven.
- These tests were done from a computer that is not connected to the internet. In this case, my test box.

As much as I hate ignoring other people's request, I have to post this. If it's not needed, I'll delete it later today.

Uh... I give up. You can close this if you want.

[Joachim Müller]

as I suggested: Windows98 definitely is no server operating system - see th error message

LimitRequestBody = CONF.D FILE NOT FOUND (Windows 98)

Uh... I give up. You can close this if you want.

I hope that you understand that all the issues you were experiencing are related to the general idea to use Windows98 as OS: it's just incredibly hard to accomplish this. I'll do as you suggested and mark this thread as "closed".
