I have installed ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php) on a linux server (following the installation steps) - i which to migrate a php application on this new server.

$which mogrify

returns 

/usr/local/bin/mogrify

Although mogrify CAN be called from the shell it cannot be found from a server side script (php).

The script contains a system([args]) function which executes the programm [args].

So system('mogrify --someoptions') does nothing at all.

Any ideas on what is wrong? Setup of imagemagick or problem from the php script?

NOTE: The same script executes succesfully on an existing server. On the new server the call to mogrify does nothing at all (permissions and settings are the same).

Use the full path instead of just the binary name. I would imagine that /usr/local is not in the $PATH of the user running PHP.

/usr/local/bin/mogrify, etc.

by settings you mean php settings? PHP Safe mode is off? What if you use the full path to mogrify? (system('/usr/local/bin/mogrify --someoptions') Anything in the php/apache error logs?

  • can't make changes easily...hundred of files and many places where the call is issued. I'll try this if everything else fails. – Andreas Nov 16 '10 at 16:07
