I just got this as a reply to my inquiry on the installation of ImageMagick on a shared Apache server :
Ross> We cannot install that program as it disrupts te apache server.
Phoenix> In what way? I take your word for it don't worry, I'd just like to know how it disrupts the server... seems to work fine on other sites also using apache...
Ross> It breaks SSL for some reason.

I don't know what to gather from that, except that if this hack is designed using ImageMagick, many people won't be able to use it as a large number of sites are hosted on shared Apache servers just like ours
What about GD?
