Hi,

This is a strange one as the default install on RH 7.3 works fine with eZ3... try running 'convert' from the command line to see if it can be found. Then check the the apache user has rights to run the 'convert' command.

Take a look at the section [imagemagick_program] in settings/setup.ini and make sure that convert is in one of the paths specified in unix_SearchPaths.
