I know this isn't directly a hack question but I don't really know the procedure to install ImageMagick. The installation instructions are gobbledeegook to me. I try sticking it on the server as a .tar file and the server doesn't want to know because it's gzipped, so, I unzip it myself and upload it. Then what? and what directory should I put it in? I know it's meant to install itself into the bin directory or something. If I open configure in a browser though I just get a text screen. How's it meant to install? I can't have the thumbnails without ImageMagick.

I've getting this error:

uuh helpme please!!!!

I have the same thing, exactly, I think this is the config issue of unix shell, and we don't know how to config the path and locate "convert" & 'compose", please help.

man, my server said they installed ImageMagick on it, i look inside my usr/bin area threw cPanel, what EXACTLY am i looking for to make sure i know it is installed.???

colicab, yes every forum member is allowed to post images, comment, rate etc. ?ke wants that the copyright should be visible because of the script are for free. Maybe you can speak to him about it ?

unixboard, you seem to have missed the starting / in some paths
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/home/www/web1/html/portal/forums/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/home/www/web1/html/portal/forums/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kuska, there are a lot of improvments in this one. Does not require Safe Mode, banning options in comments, copyright in the pictures, users can view latest coments on their pictures, admin can overview the comments and more ... no you will not lose anything by upgrading. Do a backup before anyway.

Mist, Koutaru, Moyses, thanks ! It?s my friend ?ke who has coded it for me. :)

Kurayami, can you post your path settings in galleryconfig.php ?

Zelda-King, you must let the server admin install it for you on the webserver.

Moyses, is the files there ? The directories security right ? The path?s in galleryconfig.php is right ?

seeyou & Da_GoTTi, ill be back about that. :)

This is how to figure out the correct local path to your gallery dir:

1. Create a file called phpinfo.php in Notepad.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

2. Upload the file to your gallery dir
3. Run the script through your browser
4. Copy the path without "phpinfo.php" in variable _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] found in section "PHP Variables"
5. Verify the path in galleryconfig.php
6. Delete the phpinfo.php on your webserver

HI, I have the problem of ImageMagick, I am on Window2000+Apache Web Server, and I have installed ImageMagick, but don't know how to key in the local path, and now everything is working, except the thumbnails function, I have tried so many different method, and can't make this ImageMagick work, pls help.

Under Windows platiform, there's are no need to set chomd 777 or writeable, the exact things to do is how to find out the path for "convert" and "compose", pls help.

seeyou, found this in the Image Magick documentation about Windows installation:

Found at http://www.imagemagick.org

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

PATH

This sets the default list of places were Windows looks for EXE's and
DLL's. Windows CMD shell seems to look in the "current" directory first
- no matter what, so that is why you really don't have to muck. If
you wish to run any of utilities from another location then you must
add the path to your "bin" directory in. For instance, you might add:

D:\CVS\ImageMagick\VisualMagick\bin

to do this for the default build environment like I do. One slight
problem with this is that fact that Windows has another program called
"convert". I usually rename this to something else since it is only
used to convert disks from FAT to NTFS.

Thanks Bergman for your advice, but I am running on windows and apache, if the exact path is correct, there's no reason why ImageMagick not work. I can run the whole gallery but only convert and compose command doesn't work, file can be upload to server, no thumdnails can be make.

The only problem is the setting of ImageMagick. Help please
