I had to reinstall gallery 3 after a disastrous hack attack. It's going just fine except now, i can't get gallery to recognize the ImageMagick installation. I installed ImageMagick from the source and it appears to be correctly installed. I get the following response to the which convert command:

[root@p3434785 httpdocs]# which convert
/usr/local/bin/convert

i tried putting /usr/local/bin in the graphics tool path option in gallery but still not recognizing it.

i see that this comes up over and over again on this board but there doesn't appear to be clear cut answer.

I am also having a problem with ImageMagick and Gallery saying it is not installed, so cannot be activated. I asked my host to help (they sometimes lend a hand in areas they dont have to), and here is what they told me:

"Do note that if the script is trying to use the ImageMagick binary directly, that is not allowed due to security settings. However, you can see that ImageMagick extension is indeed loaded even from the PHPinfo page"

Can anyone tell me what this means and how I fix it? Please treat me as a beginner with very specific instructions if you can? I am not very good with this stuff yet. Some areas ive gotten skilled in, other areas im completely new to and learning as I go. Is it a Gallery file i need to edit, what do i find, what do i replace it with sort of thing?

thanks for ANY assistance.

Still working on this to no avail...

There is an FAQ on the Gallery3 documentation page. see http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:FAQ#GraphicsMagick_or_ImageMagick_are_installed_but_I_can.27t_select_them._What_do_I_do.3F

I could not figure out how to add the suggested line to the graphics.php file (got a server 500 error) so I set the graphic toolkit path under advanced settings to "/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/bin:/sw/bin", but it still does not show.

ImageMagick is correctly installed under /usr/local/bin. i checked this out with the which convert command and the response is good
]# which convert
/usr/local/bin/convert
