configure the Imagemagick modules?

I get an error everytime I try to set the path in Imagemagick module. It states Bad_Path, but it the right path I downloaded in. need help on this.

I am having the same issues. G2 spits out the following when I test the ImageMagick Module:

ImageMagick binary test results
Binary Name Pass/Fail

identify Failed
Error messages:
Problem executing binary:

identify Failed
Error messages:
Problem executing binary:

convert Failed
Error messages:

composite Failed
Error messages:
Problem executing binary:

The system is:
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6
PHP: php-4.3.8
MySQL: mysql-4.0.21

The Path to ImageMagick is C:\Inetpub\Apps\ImageMagick so there are no spaces in the path. I have already tried that solution. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Mindless-
Here is what I got from running in DEBUG:

so it looks like it sees the ImageMagick installation but for some reason its giving an error output of 1 instead of 0. From this log though it doesn't really seem to tell what the problem is exactally. I even tried granting IUSR_SERVER full control of CMD and that doens't help either. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

Ok here are my findings:

From the C prompt:

C:\Docuuments and Settings\Administrator> C:\Inetpub\Apps\ImageMagick\identify C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Domain.com\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif

Spits out:
GIF 50x50 50x50+0+0 PseudoClass 8c 232 0.000u 0:01

Whereas:

C:\Docuuments and Settings\Administrator>
cmd /c "C:\Inetpub\Apps\ImageMagick\identify"
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Domain.com\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif"

Spits out:
The file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

BUT:
If i run CMD /C FIRST from the prompt then hit enter, then enter "C:\Inetpub\Apps\ImageMagick\identify"
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Domain.com\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif" then it spits out GIF 50x50 50x50+0+0 PseudoClass 8c 232 0.000u 0:01 so I assume that this must be a bug with the way the syntax is handled by Server 2003. Is there any thing else I should try or do you think this is something the G2 team needs to have a look at?

The imagick.so suggestion doesn't really apply.. we're calling external binaries, not loading dynamic libraries.

I don't really know why the "cmd.exe /c" syntax isn't working.. any windows experts know what's going on?

rdnovo, we probably need more detail than "it burps" to know what is happening on your setup..

Ah, the solution is already commented in WinNtPlatform.class:

cmd /c ""C:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe" "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT""
(works)

(quoting the whole thing again).

So I think this is not the problem here...

Yes, I figured. "It burps" = the following:

When I enter the path to Image Magick and hit Test, I get three tests returned.

Would it be helpful to have access to my setup? I know G2 is alpha and there is no "support" per se, but it seems like this might be an issue with G2, since I have exhausted my ISP's goodwill on the matter (they are pretty insistent that it is not on their end).

I did just download the latest daily build (9/28) and no difference.

baschny,

My problem is solved, but the developers may have a headache brewing. Turning on buffered logging helped me figure it out on my own, thank you for the suggestion. The images that Gallery2 uses to test the presence and functions of ImageMagick had been uploaded as ASCII. I uploaded them as binary, and it all works now.

I feel stupid, but this does bring up a couple of valid points for the final Gallery2.

Most of us regular folks will be using FTP clients to upload the Gallery2 files to our servers. I have yet to find an FTP client (I'm on a Mac, but even the best, Transmit fails at this), I have yet to find a client that will automatically and easily upload ASCII files and binary files in their respective modes.

You can choose to upload as ASCII, as binary, or in an "automatic" mode.

The "Choose mode automatically" functions always let you determine what extensions should be uploaded as ASCII, then loads everything else binary. The Gallery2 install includes at least ten or more extensions not included in the default lists (.class, .po, .tpl, .mo, .raw, .htc, .dtd, .inc...) I am sure I have missed a few hidden somewhere. I'm not even sure if all of those *should* be transferred as ASCII.

It would be better if the "automatic" mode let you choose which file extensions to load as binary, then loaded everything else as ASCII, but none I have seen work that way.

So my answer has been to upload everything as ASCII, then go back and selectively upload image files as binary. But, of course, I miss some of those, too, as they are scattered all throughout the install.

Most notably, I missed the test images for the ImageMagick module, located at the following path:

/modules/imagemagick/test/data/

They are not even in a folder labeled images (another tactic of mine was to do a search for "images").

Now, I know full well that this is alpha quality stuff, and I'm not complaining at all. But I think the developers should be made aware that people like me, regular users who want to use Gallery2, may be tripped up by this, even once the final edition is out the door.

Solutions I can think of?

Warn people about this particular issue with ImageMagick and the test images. I had the path correct to ImageMagick, but because the images were corrputed, the test failed, and Gallery2 never let me "activate" ImageMagick. If I had been able to activate it anyway, ImageMagick would have worked with all the files i added top my albums.

Consolidate all (or most) of the images Gallery2 uses in one simple directory for upload purposes (e.g., docs say, "and be sure to upload the all-images directory as binary...")

Or, write your own FTP program that allows users to determine what file extensions are uploaded as binary, rather than which ones are uploaded as ASCII. That would be so much simpler.

Thanks for all the assistance you offered. As a tester of alpha-labeled (but beta-quality) software, I never expected this much support.

beckett, I agree. Those users who have shell access and are unzipping directly on the server effectively get everything transferred as "binary" anyway.. our README should recommend all ftp operations be done in binary.

TomServo9, That's strange, the ImageMagick module works correctly here for me on WinXP and latest ImageMagick (6.1.0 as of today).

What ImageMagick version have you installed? Can you try out the following PHP-script:

<?php

exec('cmd /c " "C:\\Inetpub\\Apps\\ImageMagick\\identify" "C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Domain.com\\gallery2\\modules\\imagemagick\\classes\\..\\test\\data\\test.gif" " 2>&1', $results, $status);
echo "Status: $status <br />\n";
echo "Results: <pre>" . print_r($results, true) . "</pre>\n";

?>

Thanks!

I have the same problem .... is this a bug ... or is there something else we can do ?

iis5 windows 2000
latest php

thanks

Still no ideas on this problem? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well here is my finding. I tried the code and heres what it outputs:

Status: 1 
Results: 
Array
(
)

Doesn't really help us too much. I'm willing to try anything else anyone comes up with. Let me know.

TomServo9, a couple things to try:

1) some examples i found via a google search don't have a space after 2>
try removing that space in your test php file, but keep the quotes, so it's
2>"C:\\.....

2) if that still doesn't work, try moving the quote before the 2>..
"2>C:\\.....

G2 version 10/30 (nightly build)
ImageMagick-6.1.2-Q16
Windows XP

Fresh install and am receiving generally the same thing. ImageMagick is installed in c:\imagemagick and when I hit test I receive

Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [cmd /c " "c:\imagemagick\identify" "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif" 2> "C:\galleryimages\tmp\g2dC.tmp" "] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\core\classes\GalleryPlatform\WinNtPlatform.class on line 106

If I copy and paste those exact same command strings into a command prompt I recieve the following output:

For identify:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif GIF 50x50 50x50+0+0 PseudoClass 8c 232 0.000u 0:01

For convert and composite:
no output but returns to command prompt

Any progress on finding the problem? Anything you would like me to try?

grifter, take a look at our FAQ, which is currently being maintained in this forum. Its one of the first sticky notes right on top. There should be a step-by-step answer to avoid that non-fork situation.

That is a mayor risk, to let a IIS user execute your CMD.
So if you running "Gallery2" on your WINxx platform,
your making it easy for the BAD guys.

This is also why we're providing the GD module in G2, so that you can use it as a graphics toolkit without having to make exec() calls. See if that works for you instead.

%ComSpec% is nice but still who ore with user use the exec.
Its maby posible the let %system% carryout the job.

Gu.

Gu_Flater, CD? You mean GD, right? And check your last post for typos

First sorry for my typo's :oops:
but in IIS v6 is it posible to allow "Web service extentions" !
So wat I have done: make simple allowed PHP to use only the Magick exec..

And it works, my CMD.exe is more save now! :wink:

maybe we should add this to the FAQ or other platform specific instructions and hints.

And have u found the option ?
See at my test site its working fine
http://www.gewoonzeeland.dyndns.info/gallery2

sprynmr, obviously, you haven't installed imagemagick properly.

Error Output:
dyld: /Volumes/Sidekick/WebServer/Documents/ImageMagick-6.2.1/bin/composite
can't open library: /ImageMagick-6.2.1/lib/libMagick.6.dylib  (No such file
or directory, errno = 2)
Status: 133 (expected 0) 

-> not properly installed.
btw: you can test imagemagick outside G2 too.
When you think you've installed imagemagick correctly, you can open a shell in OSX and try /path/to/convert -h or /path/to/identify -h /change /path/to).

Of course it doesn't suffice to just copy the source code of imagemagick to OSX.
I don't know much about OSX, but you may want to try:
ImageMagick-powerpc-apple-darwin7.8.0.tar.gz download download Mac OS X from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php .

From the FAQ:

----------------
A: You need to give permissions for IIS to be able to read and execute the command interpreter ("cmd.exe"). Without it, Gallery won't be able to call external executables (like ImageMagick). Required steps:

1. Open a cmd-prompt with "Start", "Execute", then type "cmd.exe". Hit ENTER.
2. At the prompt, type:
Code:
C:\> cacls %COMSPEC% /E /G %COMPUTERNAME%\IUSR_%COMPUTERNAME%:R

This adds the "read" permission to the IIS-user for the cmd.exe. Close the prompt and then try activating the imagemagick module again.
