Thanks, but they are running Linux, not Windows.

DonLand:

What WP plugins and themes do you have loaded?

Also, what version of Symbiostock did you start with?

DonLand · « **Reply #27 on:** July 28, 2013, 17:30 »

Not sure where I began with SymbioStock, probably 2.x.

Following are the active plugins, some of which I don't even know what they actually do or why/when they were installed, like the first two.

Contact Form 7 is for creating a page that a customer can use to contact you (usually on a Contact Us page).

You have an ImageMagick Engine plugin? Did you recently install this? Is it because Symbiostock wasn't using ImageMagick and you were trying to resolve the issue? Or was there another reason that you installed this?

DonLand · « **Reply #29 on:** July 28, 2013, 17:38 »

Yes to your third question. I've tried it both enabled and disabled. Neither way works. Should it NOT be installed with Symbiostock?

As far as I now, there is no need to install a plugin to get ImageMagick to work. I don't have it installed.

Are you on a shared or dedicated server?

Please login to the command prompt of the web server and type "identify -version" at the prompt and see what it returns.

Shared
Not sure how to log in but here is some info

cPanel Version   11.34.1 (build 25)
Theme   x3
Apache version   2.2.24
PHP version   5.3.27
MySQL version   5.5.30-cll
Architecture   x86_64
Operating system   linux

Ok, so I found this page.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4477472/getting-started-with-imagemagick

It says...
You'll have to edit your php.ini file and add:

include_path="/usr/local/lib/ImageMagick"
extension=imagick.so
This will tell php to look in that directory for additional libraries, and load the imagick extension.

Then, restart the server.

Since my files should be in /usr/bin/convert I changed it to:

include_path="/usr/bin/convert/ImageMagick"
extension=imagick.so

To no avail. Of course I can't restart the server as it is a shared environment. Still not working.

ShazamImages · « **Reply #33 on:** July 28, 2013, 18:06 »

If you want to login to the command prompt on the server, then you will need to download puTTY or something similar. I believe that you will need to enable SSH on your GoDaddy Control Panel. If your Control Panel looks like mine, then it will be under More -> SSH. If I remember correctly, you will need to be near a phone since they will call you with a PIN that you need to enter.

Here are the instructions:

I'm going offline now, but I should be back in the morning.

I never added anything for ImageMagick to my php.ini file.

Yea, I guess most don't have to but maybe WebHostingHub does a few things a little abnormal or... I still wonder if it's because my site is not at the root level.

That is definitely a possibility.

Sorry, I thought that you were with GoDaddy.

DonLand · « **Reply #37 on:** July 28, 2013, 18:18 »

No worries, similar problem. Thanks for the try!!!

CrackerClips · « **Reply #38 on:** July 28, 2013, 20:56 »

Hi Shazam,

I followed your directions and am with you up to a point.

Quote from: ShazamImages on July 28, 2013, 17:19

When I login using PuTTY to the web server, I can type "identify -version" at the prompt and it will return the following:

Version: ImageMagick 6.2.8 02/25/09 Q16 file:/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.2.8/doc/index.html Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2006 ImageMagick Studio LLC

I got this far and this is exactly the wording that came back to me.

Quote

I can then change directory (cd) to /usr/share and there is an ImageMagick directory there.

This is where I get a little lost. I tried putting in "/usr/share" but the response from the server is a blank box. I then tried putting in the convert path to imagemagick that godaddy gave to me "/usr/bin/convert" and I get:

Version: ImageMagick 5.5.6 04/01/03 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 2003 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Usage: /usr/bin/convert [options ...] file [ [options ...] file ...] [options ...] file

Where options include:
-adjoin join images into a single multi-image file
-affine matrix affine transform matrix
-antialias remove pixel-aliasing
-append append an image sequence
etc....

It goes on to detail all of the options for using imagmagick but I can't do anything further with it and the process on my symbio admin area still lists GD Library.

Any idea where I go from here?

Thanks!
Bryan

Its been a while, but all i had to do was add to the php.ini

extension=imagick.so
upload_max_filesize = 32M

I didn't mess with adding the path text.

But I am on Bluehost.

Hi there,

Let me know where this goes. I've been fairly busy working on the next improvements and can't follow things so closely. Besides addressing this issue (which is rare but still an issue) I was hoping to set up some things to work with color models like srgb etc.

DonLand · « **Reply #41 on:** July 28, 2013, 23:51 »

Mine's gone nowhere. Spent all day on it.

CrackerClips - Do I still have access to your site like I did before? If you don't mind I'll do some nuclear testing tomorrow.

Hey Leo - Yes you're still good to go as an admin. Feel free to work your ~~imagemagick~~ magic

Update:

I was finally able to get Imagemagick working on my Godaddy hosted website! With some great help from ShazamImages (Thanks again! You really set me on the right path) and much time on the phone with godaddy the fix was simple (in hindsight only

Because I converted an older, existing website over to a symbio site I was on an older version of PHP. The technician at godaddy swore this wouldn't work but after trying everything else we upgraded to version 5.3.24 and instantly imagemagick was available.

Don and anyone else, on godaddy or not, who is still having trouble with Imagemagick make sure that your installation is running the latest version of PHP.

After reprocessing an image and doing a test buy the downloaded image now contains all of my original metadata!

*facepalm*

I feel really stupid now.

But VERY happy for you! With the time you struggled on that issue you must be going through the roof with happiness!

I hope amanda puts this on her symbioguides site with a huge "*"

CrackerClips · « **Reply #46 on:** August 02, 2013, 16:43 »

Yeah, I'm pretty darn stoked! We're getting ready to leave and go shooting for a couple days but when we get back I'll be excited to get moving forward with our site!

You *may* have saved me a week of work. I still have some things I want to build in for color manipulation (tell me if you see an improvement) but this is really wonderful.

DonLand needs to know about it since he's had the same prob.

DonLand · « **Reply #49 on:** August 02, 2013, 17:02 »

I've been following this and had checked my php settings last week. No luck with 5.3.27
