G3B1 - ImageMagick Not Found

Hello,

First of all congratulations on your new package. It looks really great.

I have just downloaded the latest code and the only problem I've noticed so far is that ImageMagick isnt clickable (ImageMagick is not available on your system.). GD is working without any problems.

I use a Linux Account on GoDaddy and I've been using ImageMagick version 6 with gallery 2.3 with no problems. The path to its binaries is /usr/local/bin and I already tried to manually add that path to graphics_toolkit_path variable in order to manually make it available but I had not luck.

I wonder why it isnt available and how can we proceed to fix it.

Thanks for your time, attention and effort.

BTW: I noticed somebody posted something similar here (http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery_3.0_beta_1_feedback) but its really confusing there because many issues are being discussed at the same time and I didnt understand the answer you gave him:

I thought it would be better to start a new topic also so people with the same issue can easely find it.

Ok, I will let you know when I get home.
Thanks a lot.

Can youg ive it one more try? I think I forgot to push the fix properly last time around. If it still doesn't work then I'll dig into it some more.

Problems? Check gallery3/var/logs before you post! and file bugs here!

Darn. Ok, let's try some stuff. Put the following into a .php file and open it in your web browser:

pre>
<?
putenv("PATH=" . getenv("PATH") . ":/usr/local/bin");
echo getenv("PATH"), "\n";
print "<hr>\n";
system("which convert");

That forces /usr/local/bin into your path and runs "which" to find it. On my system, this finds anything I've got in /usr/local/bin. If that doesn't work, please check your Apache error logs too.

Ok so /usr/local/bin was already in your path. Are you sure that the convert binary is in /usr/local/bin? What do you get with this in a php file:

<? system("ls -al /usr/local/bin"); ?>

And you didn't mention what was in your error logs. Anything there?

That's weird. I wonder why system("which convert") isn't working when /usr/local/bin is clearly in your path, and it appears to be readable and executable. If you go to Admin > Settings > Advanced and set the graphics_toolkit to "imagemagick" and the graphics_toolkit_path to "/usr/local/bin" does it work?

Sorry, I have no idea what's going wrong there. As far as I can tell, it should be working. Any chance I can get direct access to your server to inspect it directly?

The old and new code are radically different. The new code works for most people, so it's not practical for me to do as you suggest. Perhaps somebody else can reproduce this problem and we can get more debugging information to help track it down.

I'm not really sure. Best guess I have right now is that the "which" command isn't working when executed using system(). I'd start there to make sure that it actually works, and if doesn't, try to figure out why.

Hey, I forgot to ask: which files are used in order for imagemagick to work? In other words, what are the files that make it work/call it?

Ok and what are the files on gallery that have the script that make the call work (where it checks that Imagemagick works and checks the path etc etc)?

Thanks

Hello,

If I use

<?php
echo "<pre>";
system('which convert',$path); print_r($path); 
echo "</pre>";
?>

It gives me 127

And if I use

<?php
echo "<pre>";
system("type convert"); 
echo "</pre>";
?>

It gives me convert is /usr/bin/convert

So it seems to be working fine, isnt it?
What does your code should be giving me? (the system("which convert"))
Maybe we must check if its installed using another code?! For some reason the one you've chosen doesnt work?!

I have more important findings. If I manually set the toolkit to imagemagick as you said and type my path correctly on advanced settings and try to manage the images it works perfectly. Then I tried to use a wrong path and I got a message on the log saying ImageMagick wasnt found. So, I am pretty sure that the problem is only on the way it is detecting the toolkit.

Thanks for your help and support.

I don't know if this will help you, I am running Gallery3 on a FreeNAS box and have had the same problem with ImageMagick not being found. The problem came from the "which" command not being used correctly in the php script, so I hardcoded it to "/usr/bin/which" in files \helpers\graphics.php and \system\libraries\drivers\Image\ImageMagick.php.

This fixed my problem, but I need to make the change at each new release.
