I am more or less the admin of my server. I host through 1and1 and I installed ImageMagick successfully through SSH, however I was required to install it to a non-standard location. Using pwd I know what the full path is to my installation and I know the web path as well but neither of these, nor any combination of them are working for the program locations.

So how can I find out what the path should be? I know the standard is I believe /usr/bin/convert for the convert program...

**EDIT**

After playing around I successfully got this to work:
../../im/bin/convert

I installed ImageMagick to the first directory I had access to, being my site root, in the folder im, but I couldn't get there from the full pwd path for some reason.

The support guys couldn't help me and the full pwd directory wasn't working either. Hooray for guessing.

In EE 2 if you leave the path empty and press enter it will guess that path, and you will see a list where it has guessed and where it has got it right. The path guess list is editable in SCRIPT_server_tools_pathguess.php, but I suppose it's impossible to have all paths known to man guessed.
