I'm having the exact same problem.

I'm using Wink2K3 Server with IIS 6.0 and have turned on the debug mode to buffered.

Here is some of the output when I test the settings:

file_exists(C:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe)
Executing: cmd /c " "C:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe" "--version" 2>
"C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d278.tmp" "
file_exists(C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d278.tmp)
filesize(C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d278.tmp)
unlink(C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d278.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:
Status: 1 (expected 0)
file_exists(C:\netpbm\jpegtopnm.exe)
Executing: cmd /c " "C:\netpbm\jpegtopnm.exe" "--version" 2>

Regular Output:
Error Output:

file_exists(C:\netpbm\pnmtojpeg.exe)

file_exists(C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d27A.tmp)
filesize(C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d27A.tmp)
unlink(C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d27A.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:
Status: 1 (expected 0)

I have the IUSR_(machinename) user set with read & execute permissions on the folder and files for the netpbm directory.

I have also tried with ImageMagick with the same results.

It always displays:

giftopnm Failed
ppmtogif Failed
jpegtopnm Failed
pnmtojpeg Failed
pngtopnm Failed
pnmtopng Failed
tifftopnm Failed
pnmtotiff Failed
bmptopnm Failed
Error messages:

File does not exist
ppmtobmp Failed
Error messages:

File does not exist
pnmcomp Failed
jhead Failed

Please help!!!

Your problem is different from the topic you originally put this in, so I split it out into its own topic.

What happens if you run this from a command prompt:

cmd /c " "C:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe" "--version" 2> "C:\home\crazyjacksons.com\g2data\tmp\g2d278.tmp" "

Nothing happens. It just returns me right back to the command prompt as if it executed and did not return an error message.

If I type the following at the command prompt C:\>

cmd /c c:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe --version

I get:

c:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe: Using libnetpbm from Netpbm Version: Netpbm 10.18.4
c:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe: Compiled Sat Dec 27 01:33:40 CET 2003 by user "KZLG"
c:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe: BSD defined
c:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe: RGB_ENV='RGBDEF'
c:\netpbm\ppmtogif.exe: RGBENV= 'RGBDEF' (env vbl is unset)

Not sure if any of that helps at all.

yodaddy, have you authorized cmd.exe in IIS and given the NETWORK SERVICE read/execute on the netpbm directory and binaries? IIS6 uses the NETWORK SERVICE as well as IUSR_<machinename> for executing binaries from an app.

I have authorized the user IUSR_(machinename) and now NETWORK SERVICE to use cmd.exe, but I am still getting the same errors.

Any other suggestions?
