Help needed : Imagemagick @ Lunarpages

[DvD]

Hello,
I'm new to EE, so first of all, I want to thank Pekka for this really cool application :)

Well, I've just installed all the fix and update packs till RC2 and requested Lunarpages admin to move my account to a Imagemagick supporting server, asking for php's safe mode off, or imagemagick placed in an EXEC DIR.
I asked for the "convert" and "composite" paths too.

Well, they moved my account quickly and without any problem. If I run a server info script, it shows imagemagick installed now :twisted:

They didn't provide any specific imagemagick path, but the path to pearl "/usr/bin/perl", which I suppose is o.k., since EE says "path ok" for both convert and composite programs.

The problem is that it doesn't matter what graphic module test I run, I always get the red x box
GD2 works fine though

Any idea of what I may have done wrong?
It could be the path, despite EE says it is o.k.?
Thanks
David Nolla

P.S. : FWIW, I'm very happy with Lunarpages service and support

Go through the various steps of the setup, if the path of ImageMagick is ok look at "3. RESIZE METHOD SETUP".

I've checked the setup process while waiting a response from Lunarpages.
Boy, they are fast! :D

The problem was the path. I don't know the reason EE reports it is ok (perhaps EE detects something in some way?)

This is the reply from Lunarpages support (perhaps it can help somebody here too) :

Hi,

When using ImageMagick to convert files you need to use the following path:
/usr/local/bin/convert
the executable parts of ImageMagick commands in: /usr/local/bin/

/usr/bin/perl is the path to perl [ :oops: ]

I hope this is helpful.


All is o.k. now

Some providers has set PHP to return a verbal error message when exec function is called and it fails. This is why IM test gives wrong answer is some servers - it runs the program and program returns "something". I'll see later if that can be worked around.

Im running on Lunarpages and don't have any problems. I know that not all of their servers run all the same software, I am running on "Valina".
