Help with ImageMagick on GoDaddy server

[AndrewJ1313]

Okay, according to GoDaddy, ImageMagick is installed and available on their servers and that the convert path for ImageMagick 5 is located at /usr/bin/ and for version 6 is at /usr/local/bin/...I'll be honest with you, I'm not even really sure what this means as I am a complete newbie to ImageMagick, all I'm trying to do is convert a PDF to a JPG on the fly for clients to review changes they have made to a document. Piecing together other code I have seen in other forums and after hours of Google searches, I am trying to use this:

 

$originalImage = 'image.pdf';
$newImage = 'image.jpg';
$path = "/usr/local/bin/";

exec($path . "convert $originalImage $newImage") or die("not gonna do it");

 

All I get is "not gonna do it".

 

I have beaten my head against the wall for several days now trying different things and I just don't have a clue what to do. Can anyone offer any suggestions that don't involve a link to ImageMagick.net as the web site only talks about using ImageMagick from the command line and I need to make this work with PHP on a web site.

 

Much thanks to anyone with a suggestion.

 

Thanks,

Andrew
