[SOLVED] ImageMagick, Unzip binaries path help...

Hello everyone,

Well, I'm stumped. I've read through every post here related to this problem, but I simply cannot get G2 to work with the ImageMagick binaries or Unzip. Here is some background info:

Windows 2003 Server
IIS 6
PHP 5.04
MySQL 4.1.11
ImageMagick 6.2.2
Info-Zip Unzip 5.52

Also, FYI, this all works fine with G1.

So, first with ImageMagick, on the config screen it asks for a path to the binaries. I enter C:\ImageMagick\ Then I click on the Test Settings button and each of the four binaries fail and the debug output is:

==================
is_dir(c:\ImageMagick\)
getcwd()
chdir(d:\data\albums2\tmp\)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\gm)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\identify.exe)
Executing: cmd /c " "c:\ImageMagick\identify"
"c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif"
2> "d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d495.tmp" "
file_exists(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d495.tmp)
filesize(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d495.tmp)
unlink(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d495.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:
Status: 1 (expected 0)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\gm)
tempnam(d:\data\albums2\tmp\, imgk_)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\convert.exe)
Executing: cmd /c " "c:\ImageMagick\convert" "-size" "200x200"
"-geometry" "200x200"

"d:\data\albums2\tmp\img496.tmp" 2> "d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d497.tmp" "
file_exists(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d497.tmp)
filesize(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d497.tmp)
unlink(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d497.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:

file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\gm)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\combine)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\composite)
file_exists(c:\ImageMagick\gm)
tempnam(d:\data\albums2\tmp\, imgk_)
Executing: cmd /c " "c:\ImageMagick\composite" "-geometry" "+0+0"
"c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.jpg"
"c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif"
"d:\data\albums2\tmp\img498.tmp" 2> "d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d499.tmp" "
file_exists(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d499.tmp)
filesize(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d499.tmp)
unlink(d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d499.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:
Status: 1 (expected 0)
file_exists(d:\data\albums2\tmp\img498.tmp)
unlink(d:\data\albums2\tmp\img498.tmp)
chdir(c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2)
====================

So I open a command prompt and try running by hand the first of the four tests just to see what happens and everything appears to work fine. For example I run:

cmd /c " "c:\ImageMagick\identify" "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif" 2> "d:\data\albums2\tmp\g2d495.tmp" "

and get:

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif GIF 50x50 50x50+0+0 PseudoClass 8c 232

Does that mean it worked from the command line??

Now, Unzip. I enter the path c:\ImageMagick\utils\ and it says, "The path you entered isn't a valid path to an unzip binary." So then I explicity point it to the binary itself, specifying c:\ImageMagick\utils\unzip.exe and it says, "The path you entered doesn't contain a valid unzip binary." BUT, it at least runs the test, but fails.

So, through my own experience with G1 and reading through the posts here, I have made sure that the c:\ImageMagick directory and sub-directories have RWX for the internet user. Made sure CMD.EXE has RWX for the internet user. Heck, I've even given Everyone Full Control to the programs and directories involved, all to no avail. So, I don't think it is a permissions problem. That said, I'm at a loss if it isn't permissions. I don't know what else to look at. Everything seems to work fine from a command line.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

h0bbel, I hadn't given Network Service permissions to cmd.exe. I tried it, but that didn't seem to help, unfortunately.

As to '..is cmd.exe authorized in IIS?' Could you expand on that in a little more detail please? I have tried giving the following users full control rights to cmd.exe, all to no avail: IUSR_OTTO, IWAM_OTTO, IIS_WPG, & Network Service. Is there something in the IIS config I'm missing?

Thanks.

This is a really, really dumb question... but have you tried with a path like "c:/windows" instead of "c:\windows" (or visa versa, depending on what you use now?). If that fixes it, i'll eat a bowl of jello.

I also don't know what he means by authorizing iis to use cmd.exe. In linux, you can do "su - apache" which changes you to the apache user. You can then try to run any command you want and if it WORKS, then apache can do the same. If it can't, then apache can't. Can you log into winblows as "IUSER_OMGWTFISTHISSTUFFHERE"?

fryfrog, logging in with the IIS user, is impossible, since you don't know it's pw. Just for the record.

zirzlo, that is a possiblity, yes.

Try running filemon ( http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml ) and then upload. It might help you determine the cause of this.

Hey boys,

I don't really know, why I didn't see this thread on one of my approaches to solve this DAMN F*#KING problem. I tried a lot, did the whole Win/IIS-FAQ and it didn't work. The NEWORK SERVICE-hint is it, my gallery2-installations work with full features again... 9 months after moving from a virtual webhost onto an own server.

Thx a lot.

GTX, Felix

Zirzlo....Thank YOU! This worked for me as well...fixed my imagemagick and zip binary problems. Quick question though, does giving IUSER and Network Service permissions to run cmd.exe cause any security issues?
