Is my problem a path issue?

[melor]

In my /public_html/gallery/secretinput/UPLOAD/test

directory, I find files named:
result.jpg.0
result.jpg.1
result.jpg.2
result.jpg.3
result.jpg.4 ---- result.jpg.12

Is this a coding problem? The extension is a number. Is this why my Imagick test result is no image?

I deleted the files and ran the imagick test routine on the graphics module setup and all 12 files appeared. Is this normal or a sign of a problem I can fix?

In my UPLOAD/test folder I only have 'source.jpg'

This is why I am wondering if I have a path error. I am not having good luck with my conversion.

Chriz,

After you run the Imagick tests, do you have other images here?

When I run the test I do not get a result.jpg (just a white square with red cross)

I'm also trying to get Imagemagick to work for me. It did work in the beta1 version.

I'll look into this today and hope Pekka can give me a clue.

If IM creates files then paths are ok.

The problem (discussed some time ago in another thread) is wrong profile command. There are three possible profile commands, change, save and try test with each.

Also, if none of the three profile commands work, check Resizemethod Editor and preview a size _without_ profile removal and watermark and see if they work. It is always possible that even those three profile choices are not sufficient for some systems.

Do you remember this?

/temp
/export
/input/temp
/input/UPLOAD
/input/UPLOAD/test
/input/UPLOAD/ee_temp_upload
/input/backup/ee_backup_files

all set to 777
my /input/UPLOAD/test was set to 755
Imagemagick resize works now. I can see the result.jpg

Try all the profile commands.

Yipee, I changed the profile command and I am in business with the imagemagick. I didn't know this could be an issue and all the testing I had done I had left that parameter alone, thinking it was a path issue.

Only one more hurdle to pass, the dreaded EXIF problem. My ISP is willing to switch me to another server, but now that imagemagick is working, I think a server problem is not the issue and my problem is a setting. I asked them about installing EXIF and they say that all modules are installed, and there is no other. If that's the case, then changing to a different server isn't going to fix my problem.

Any suggestions?

Good to hear it works now. Write down all settings!

If you go to EE server info and there see full PHP info: if you do NOT see exif in installed modules then it is not installed. It's very simple. On this server is get

EXIF Support enabled
EXIF Version 1.2
Supported EXIF Version 02100
Supported filetypes JPEG,TIFF

If you do not have EXIF installed, EE can't use it. That is server provider issue. EXIF function is usable in PHP 4.2 or later. As said in http://fi.php.net/manual/en/function.exif-read-data.php

"This function is only available in PHP 4 compiled using --enable-exif."

Perhaps their server admin does not realize there are other settings which affect each virtual site. Maybe Zend Optimizer affects it. They should know.

If you have EXIF module installed and EE uses it and you get errors with that, then it will be my problem to solve.

Pekka, just wanted to drop a note to you and any other's who were following this thread that my provider after denying that EXIF was not installed will be installing it some evening this week. With that done, I should be up and running!

Thanks Pekka for the detailed comments. I was able to email your mention that EXIF should be in the setup and got them to believe that it was their problem not mine.
