KakkArlak Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi, Could anyone possibly point me to a proper guide/howto to install imagemagick for PHP. (for use with PHPthumb and the smarty imagetext plugin) . I've installed php5-imagick and ImageMagick 6.5.8 ... but the phpThumb demo check page still doesn't "find" ImageMagick Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I've installed php5-imagick Did you restart Apache afterward? What does phpinfo have to say? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakkArlak Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have restarted the web server multiple times.. I attached 3 screenshots, 1 from phpInfo (which looks fine? ) and another from the phpThumb demo page. The 3rd one is an example from a page using the smarty imagetext plugin. (The "About Optimal Energy" is where the imagetext failed.. ) Things that recently change in the hosting environment. : Whole new server with PHP 5.2.10, etc Old one had an older version on it, Possibly 5.0.x or 5.1.x [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakkArlak Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 If I go : pecl install imagick (taken from http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.setup.php) It gives me... checking whether to enable the imagick extension... yes, shared checking whether to enable the imagick GraphicsMagick backend... no checking ImageMagick MagickWand API configuration program... found in /usr/local/bin/MagickWand-config checking if ImageMagick version is at least 6.2.4... found version 6.5.8 Q16 checking for MagickWand.h header file... configure: error: Cannot locate header file MagickWand.h ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/imagick/configure --with-imagick' failed Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with your imagemagick install. I would suggest its a bug within phpThumb.

But the same phpThumb files was working on a previous server? (CentOs instead of Ubuntu though, and probably an older php version) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Everything indicates that imagemagick is installed. Have you tried actually using it yourself? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakkArlak Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Everything indicates that imagemagick is installed. Have you tried actually using it yourself? How would I do that? ( Only thing I want is for Imagetext to work, the smarty plugin. I've never used imagemagick. ) Also, I attached a screenshot of a live server with imagemagick installed properly, i guess. I don't know if it's imagemagick or GD that smarty imagetext needs to work..

trq Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Looking at this image it would appear you need GD not imagemagick. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakkArlak Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Looking at this image it would appear you need GD not imagemagick. So then, the "standalone GD library" is the problem? The fact that it's not using the "embedded GD library" ... I've read some stuff about that, and apparently it's a problem on Ubuntu servers for it to use the embedded GD library? Any way to do that?

trq Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm not an Ubuntu user but I do use Debian allot which is where Ubuntu is derived from. Never had any GD issues here.

KakkArlak Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm not an Ubuntu user but I do use Debian allot which is where Ubuntu is derived from. Never had any GD issues here. Thanks for the help so far! So theoretically, all I need to install is php5 and php5-gd ? Because I did that and it doesn't work :-/ What I was referring to is, if you look at the "yellow" GD block in the one check page, and the other "green" block in the other one. Obviously a difference there. I read that the embedded GD library has some functions that the other doesn't. Which might be affecting smarty.imagetext ... My phpThumb works without errors though.... *sigh* Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204098-imagemagick-installation/#findComment-1069398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
