Hi.

I'm using piwigo 2.5.1 on a webhosting service. I tried to change from gd to imagemagick with

$conf['graphics_library'] = 'ext_imagick';
$conf['ext_imagick_dir'] = '/usr/bin/convert';

in the LocalFiles Editor. The path I got directly from my provider. Although, I changed the config files like above, the BatchManager still sais

Betriebssystem: Linux
PHP: 5.2.17-0.dotdeb.0 (Info anzeigen) [2013-05-28 13:07:04]
MySQL: 5.5.30-1~dotdeb.0 [2013-05-28 13:07:04]
Grafikbibliothek: GD bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

What do I have to do else in order to change to imagemagick?

Thanx for your help
Alex

$conf['ext_imagick_dir'] = '/usr/bin/';

Thanx for the quick answer. Unfortunately, I tried this already without mention it and it does not solve the problem. Any other ideas?

I have had this problem since installing Piwigo over a year ago.

IM is installed on the server, and when first installed Piwigo used IM UNTIL I added some photos to the albums at which point it changed to GD.

I added the edit in the config to use IM - and it was ignored.

So I have never been able to use IM, and never been able to find an answer to why.

Neither have I. Checked with my hosting provider, and they let me know that imagemagick was installed.

$conf['graphics_library'] = 'ext_imagick';
$conf['ext_imagick_dir'] = '/usr/bin/';

I've recently discovered the "joy" of managing its own server, and even me -I'm not even working in computers/programm...- I successfully enabled imagick -the php extension- and ImageMagik. Since that day, the hosters with such problem of finding ImageMagik, not using imagick etc I found them very non-professional

I jsut found my problem. It was no piwigo problem but hoster. I'm kind of new in all that stuff and just saw, that "exec()" is in the disabled_function list. :( So I have to talk to my hoster.

BTW: There is no error message in piwigo if the version test does not work properly. It will just be changed to gd. I had to comment the part in order to get the error message

exec() has been disabled for security reasons.

It would be nice to have a warning message if piwigo switches to gd because of an error. Future noobusers like me could save time then.

Sorry for bothering you guys.

BTW: It is kind of funny, that my hoster give me the path of imagemagick but did not tell me, that I cannot use any command fromin php.

Try removing the / at the end of your path: '/usr/bin/' could be changed to '/usr/bin'

ignore my last comment, that's just BS. You do need the trailing slash.
