hi,

I have a clean Debian Linux installed with LAMP (linux, apache, mysql and php4). Even gd1+2 and imagemagick is installed, dump from phpinfo():

ImageMagick support enabled
Magick Backend ImageMagick
ImageMagick version 6.0.3
PHP imagick version 0.9.7
MaxRGB 65535
Supported image formats tmp
Font Family - Name AvantGarde - AvantGarde-Book

The problem is that eZ 3.5.0 setup wizard still chooses "ImageGD" for imagemanipulation. Why is that?

I sit here reading the eZ book and it clearly states that ImageMagick is the best choice.

Whats the solution?

Did you specify the ImageMagick path during the FineTuning process?

the finetune-process didn't ask about anything with Imagemagick, at first it only complaint about lack of GD, the I installed the PHP4-GD package. After that I just went on.

the eZ book states that you can give a direct path to the imagemagick-binary in the image.ini. I tried that to, and that didn't work eighter..

Disabling open_basedir helped for me.

Hi,

set your ... by hand, then it should work.
settings/override/image.ini.append.php

<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?

[GDSettings]

HasGD2=true


[ImageMagick]

IsEnabled=true

ExecutablePath=/usr/bin

Executable=convert

*/ ?>

How can it be prooved that ezp really makes use of IM instead of GD?
Wizard told me IM is not available though I entered the correct path (in my case /usr/local/bin).
Of course I can do the suggested settings in the image.ini, but how do I know wether they are really taken in effect?
Thanks for any help!
