Any help is really appriciated

Thanking you in advance

ImageMagick should allready be installed on your server. I've never worked with copermine, but generally default settings work in my expirence. Maybe someone who usese copermine knows if you have to do something special to make it work...

well in the "config" for my coppermine gallery it has these options:


"Path to ImageMagick 'convert' utility (example /usr/bin/X11/)"

and

"Command line options for ImageMagick"

Ive left them blank because im unsure.

> "Path to ImageMagick 'convert' utility (example /usr/bin/X11/)"

$ whereis convert
convert: /usr/bin/convert

So I'd try /usr/bin/

I just checked phpbb forum as the attachment mod will scan for imagemagik. It found it at /usr/bin/convert
So imagemagik will be in the convert folder not the bin folder.

$ ls -lsF /usr/bin/convert

Convert, at least on my shared server, is an executable file, not a folder. "Imagemagick" is actually a collection of programs, as explained in the man page. All of them are found in the /usr/bin folder on my shared server...

DESCRIPTION
ImageMagick provides a suite of command-line utilities for creating, converting, editing, and displaying images:

display is a machine architecture independent image processing and display facility. It can display an image on any workstation display running an X server.

import reads an image from any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. You can capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen.

montage creates a composite by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image with the name of the image optionally appearing just below the individual tile.

convert converts an input file using one image format to an output file with the same or differing image format while applying an arbitrary number of image transformations.

mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of images. These transforms include image scaling, image rotation, color reduction, and others. The transmogrified image overwrites the original image.

identify describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files. It will also report if an image is incomplete or corrupt.

composite composites images (blends or merges images together) to create new images.

compare compare an image to a reconstructed image.

conjure interprets and executes scripts in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL).

Ah Ha, I guess that is what assuming will get ya. I thought imagemagick was one program not a bunch of small ones. I guess I'll need to read up on it somemore.
I would like to see these programs better defined in DH's wiki. Make it easier for everyone to understand them.

You're right. Kbase is still better on ImageMagick:

The path to ImageMagick is /usr/bin (the program is actually called "convert", not imagemagick)

In fact the wiki could be misleading:

When using Image Magick the path is the following: /usr/bin/convert
