When I try to upload photos I get the following message from debug:

***************

sh: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

Status: 127 (expected 0)
Error: Unable to make thumbnail (0)

******************

My web host suggested trying usr/local/bin/convert but I have no idea where or how to try this. Any help greatly appreciated.

Gallery version 1.5
PHP v4.3.11
I don't know how to find out Apache version
I'm on windows xp
Linux server
ImageMagick
url:www.yamsi.com/gallery

Hi,

you (or maybe Gallery) entered /usr/bin as the path to Imagemagick.
Change this to /usr/local/bin

Regards,

Thank you for the reply. Your advice matches that which I got from my web host, so that's a good sign. My problem is that I don't know where Gallery uses that file, so I don't know where to make the change in the path.

Hi,

log in as admin, go to the admin page, then to the config wizard.
In Step2 is a tab for locations, urls and path.
There you can enter ther path.

go on to step 3 and 4 and save.

Thank you. That got me much closer. Now it uploads the image but I get the following error message:

Unable to coalesce image (image sequence required).

The image show up in the album, so I don't know what this error means. I did a search here for it but found nothing. Any ideas? If not, I'll start a new topic for it.

Please post the full debug results. I think perhaps your ImageMagick install might be missing some libraries to handle some filetypes, but I'm not sure.

Well, I just added a couple photos hoping to catch that full debug result, but no errors. I'm going with it!

Thanks a bunch. Donation on its way.
