I've searched the site for about an hour before posting this but couldn't come up with anything other than "check your paths." I did check them and they are correct. Anyways, here is the problem...

I have both imagemagick and netpbm installed on my windows2000 webserver (using Apache). In the config.php for the photo resizing bit I set it to ImageMagick and the path to mogrify.exe is set. When I try to upload a file that should be resized I get this error.



I noticed that for some reason there is an apostrophe before the last underscore character. Could there be something in the code to get rid of that? I'm not really much of a programmer so if it's a big pain I can get by without fixing it and just posting a notice to all the users to keep their files within the limits. But if anyone has a quick answer I'd appreciate a response.

Oh yeah, the file uploads with no problem but doesn't attach itself to the user profile nor is it resized on the server.

Thanks a bunch.

Sounds more like a setup issue with ImageMagick itself. Can you run it from the command line?

Yes, I can do everything from the command line and it's what I have chosen to run Gallery with and that also has no problems.

I reinstalled ImageMagick with their Windows Executable from their website and now I get this error...



I tried to check to see maybe if it was a rights issue but it's all gravy as far as the rights goes.

have you checked and set lines 492 to 500 in the config.php file

You have to give IUSR_machinename execute priveledges to mogrify.exe

Double checked permissions....they are set. Checked my config.php file and everything looks good.



That is the output now.

Hmm. The image file names are enclosed in single quotes to avoid problems if they contain spaces. This works fine on Unix, Linux, etc. but apparently Windows thinks they're part of the file name.

Try this:

In system/classes/upload.class.php find this piece of code (search for "pathToMogrify", second occurence):
See the single quotes inside the double quotes? Remove them so that it reads
Now that I look at this, I'm wondering about the " 2>&1" bit, too (for Windows at least). Maybe remove that one as well:
See if that helps. It won't work if you have any spaces in your file or directory names, though.

try placing a copy of cmd.exe in your imagemagick root you'll find it in system32 make sure it also has IUSR_xxx exec. rights. Sometimes windows cannot find cmd.exe when it needs it.
This works for IIS, hopefully for apache too.

I did both of your suggestions...The code change AND putting CMD in the imagemagick root folder...the result is IT WORKED!!!!

Thank you so so so so much!
