chanaka jayasena	Monday 11 July 2005 1:31:35 am I am using Exponential version 3.6.0 and designed the site on my local machine with the following configurations. Microsoft Windows XP Professional version 2002 with service pack 2 PHP Version 4.3.11 MySql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58 Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3 ImageMagick 6.1.0 I install Exponential with the manual process and create a news site. I add several articles with images to the site. Everything is working fine on my machine. I got a copy of the whole site folder and the database. Then I create a copy of this site on another machine which has the same configuration as mine. When I access the site I couldn’t find images that were attached to the articles. But all the other content is visible. Also I can find the images inside the var directory. I can’t find a way to solve this problem. Please help!
chanaka jayasena	Tuesday 19 July 2005 8:55:59 pm The problem was the path to image magic. In the machine I installed Exponential had the following settings in the settings/image.ini.append.php file. <?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"? [ImageMagick] IsEnabled=true ExecutablePath=C:\WINDOWS Executable=convertim.exe / ?> But in the second computer where image manipulation doesn’t work has no convertim.exe file on the C:\WINDOWS directory. I manually copied the file to the windows directory but it didn’t work out. Image Magick installation path is C:\ ImageMagick. So I change the settings in settings/image.ini.append. <?php / #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"? [ImageMagick] IsEnabled=true ExecutablePath= C:\ ImageMagick Executable=convert.exe */ ?> It worked. Note the two files are different in the two locations. In WINDOWS directory it is <b>convertim.exe</b> and in the ImageMagick folder it is <b>convert.exe</b>. I spend nearly 4 days to figure this out.

I am using Exponential version 3.6.0 and designed the site on my local machine with the following configurations.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional version 2002 with service pack 2
PHP Version 4.3.11
MySql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58
Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3
ImageMagick 6.1.0

I install Exponential with the manual process and create a news site. I add several articles with images to the site. Everything is working fine on my machine. I got a copy of the whole site folder and the database. Then I create a copy of this site on another machine which has the same configuration as mine.

When I access the site I couldn’t find images that were attached to the articles. But all the other content is visible. Also I can find the images inside the var directory. I can’t find a way to solve this problem. Please help!

The problem was the path to image magic. In the machine I installed Exponential had the following settings in the settings/image.ini.append.php file.

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

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=true
ExecutablePath=C:\WINDOWS
Executable=convertim.exe
*/ ?>

But in the second computer where image manipulation doesn’t work has no convertim.exe file on the C:\WINDOWS directory. I manually copied the file to the windows directory but it didn’t work out. Image Magick installation path is C:\ ImageMagick. So I change the settings in settings/image.ini.append.

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

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=true
ExecutablePath= C:\ ImageMagick
Executable=convert.exe
*/ ?>

It worked.

Note the two files are different in the two locations. In WINDOWS directory it is <b>convertim.exe</b> and in the ImageMagick folder it is <b>convert.exe</b>. I spend nearly 4 days to figure this out.
