hey all. i am attempting to install gallery in a personal web space on a server where i don't have root access.

Gallery v1.4.4-pl2
SunOS garnet.tc.umn.edu 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

i have finally installed imagemagick into my homedir (~/bin and ~/lib)

i told gallery about them, and when i run setup/check_imagemagick.php it says:

/home/m/murp0345/bin/identify does not exist
/home/m/murp0345/bin/convert does not exist

however, they are there... and they work.

> ls -la identify convert
-rwxr-xr-x 1 murp0345 people 11440504 Sep 30 15:43 convert
-rwxr-xr-x 1 murp0345 people 11374572 Sep 30 15:43 identify
> pwd
/home/m/murp0345/bin
> convert
Version: ImageMagick 6.0.8 09/30/04 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2004 ImageMagick Studio LLC
<snip>

any help?

thanks,
keith

In order for /home/m/murp0345/bin/foobar to be visible and executable by anybody, the following must be true:

1. foobar has at least 555 permissions (-r-xr-xr-x) cool.... yours do
2. /home/m/murp0345/bin must have at least 555 permissions (dr-xr-xr-x)
3. /home/m/murp0345 must have at least 555 permissions (dr-xr-xr-x)
4. /home/m ... same deal
5. /home ... same deal

So... my guess is your home directory (murp0345) has 700 (drwx------) permissions... change it to 755 and you should be all set.

great, now the imagemagick is detected... however when i try to upload a picture... it seems to get the picture up there... it's in the directory (ssh verified)... but the web browser hangs. i turned debug mode on, but no debug messages came up.

any thoughts?

thanks,

The picture's in which directory? Is it showing up in Gallery with resized thumbnails?
Debug mode prints out the imagemagick command to actually process the images. Try running those in the shell directly to see if it works as expected. Also... what does the web page gallery/setup/check_imagemagick.php say now?

At this point, exact error/success messages would be helpful. You're almost there!

check_imagemagick.php has no errors, same as before.

it gets about this far in the popup window:
Processing status...

- Adding IMG_0205.jpg
Resizing/compressing original image

and in the main window, it's trying to reload the page. which eventually doesn't load. however, i quit the browser and load that same page again, it loads fine... except that picture doesn't show up.

Safari could not open the page “http://www.tc.umn.edu/~murp0345/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album01

Hm. Okay so the original image is getting into the directory, but then it's hanging.

Can you run the command in your browser?
Something like (substituting in your own path to the convert binary):

$ /usr/local/bin/convert -quality 85 -size 200x200 +profile '*' /www/m/murp0345/web-docs/albums/album01/IMG_0198.jpg -geometry 200x200 /tmp/myconvertedtestthumb.jpg

What output will it give? Does the thumbnail-sized photo get generated?

i ran the following command

~/bin/convert -quality 85 -size 200x200 +profile '*' ~/web-docs//albums/album01/aaa.jpg -geometry 200x200 ./test_t.jpg

with no output... screen, or file. how long should it take?

my imagemagick is located in ~/bin and ~/lib is there a possible problem that it cannot find the lib? if i just type in ~/bin/convert i get output...

thanks again,
keith

Well if there's no output file, then sounds like your imagemagick is b0rked.

/* ImageMagick
 *   convert.c
 */

#define TEE_HEE_HEE 1

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    while(TEE_HEE_HEE);
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

No... in all seriousness. Did you compile ImageMagick yourself? Maybe use NetPBM (we have prebuilt binaries available on the DL page...)

i did compile imagemagick.

http://studio.imagemagick.org/magick/viewtopic.php?p=8236#8236

if you know where i can get precompiled binaries (not a package that needs to be installed) i'll gladly use it. it has to live in my home directory.

We have solaris NetPBM binaries precompiled on our download page.
Why not just use them.

I can compile ImageMagick on solaris for you, but I'm heading away for the weekend, so it'd be a couple of days. Yeah... just use NetPBM!

Coolness!
Yes... getting NetPBM or ImageMagick going is never easy. Good thing we're reimplementing optional GD support, which ships with newer versions of PHP pre-installed.
