ImageMagick and PHP install

[paul]

Hi,

I installed ImageMagick successfully via yum

yum install ImageMagick

and that was fine.

To see if it was installed i ran

root@vps# which convert
/usr/bin/convert
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.8 04/17/08 Q16 file:/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.2.8/doc/index.html

Now I am wondering what to do as in my PHP Info output ImageMagick is not showing up as installed.

I am running CentOS VPS.

Is there a php module for ImageMagick available via Yum?

[paul]

no, not as far as I know. There is one for PECL but I have no idea as to how to go via that way. It's called imagick

[blacknight]

Try php-gd

[blacknight]

Another option would be: pecl install imagemagick

I think I got it in the end : D

• yum install php-magickwand
• yum install php-pear [for PECL]
• yum install ImageMagick
• yum install ImageMagick-devel
• pecl install imagick-2.2.1
• yum -y install php-devel [to over come sh: phpize: command not found error]
• pecl install imagick-2.2.1

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !

It's installed now, show up on the phpinfo but I am not sure as to where it is installed or what I need to do next to get it installed.

well it doesn't seem to be working anymore

[root@vps--/]# pecl install imagemagick
No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/imagemagick"
Cannot initialize 'imagemagick', invalid or missing package file
Package "imagemagick" is not valid
install failed

I've tried various ways, tutorials etc. But there doesn't seem to be a step by step guide for this I'm surprised IM is so badly documented.

problem solve !
the program I was installing (gallery2) wasn't recognising the location of ImageMagick, an edit to /var/www/vhosts/ep.org/conf/httpd.include did the trick
