Manual talk:Image administration

Cannot get convert (thumbnail) to work on W2k3

 * Installed Dynamic ImageMagick in the following directory -> D:\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16
 * Verified that ImageMagick worked on command line
 * Verified Environment variable is PATH'd correctly
 * Verified to Web Server has access to D:\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16 directory
 * Modified LocalSettings.php with the following lines:
 * $wgUseImageResize		= true;
 * $wgUseImageMagick		= true;
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16\\convert.exe";

also tried:
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16\\convert";
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16/convert.exe";
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16/convert";
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "/usr/bin/convert";

with no luck on any of them.

Any tips to try would be very much appreciated.
 * Try fixing the double slashes. That ought to do it. 69.153.141.224 02:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Following will be ok
$wgEnableUploads      = true; $wgUseImageResize     = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-6.3.2-Q16/convert";
 * 1) To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
 * 2) is writable, then set this to true:
 * 1) $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";

Unfortunately I have the same issue, I have my settings exactly as in this article (correct path ) however still get the error listed. Anyone else with any input?

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to run external programs in safe mode.
I couldn't manage to install and run ImageMagick properly for my own wiki. I have the error msg as it's seen in the thread when i try to use thumbnailing code of wiki. Any detailed instruction or any web page i can find instruction would be highly appreciated. I also find an old version of ImageMagick which is pre-compiled. Is that usefull and easier to install?

Error using thumbnail: even if ImageMagick works with other Scripts.
My ImageMagick Installation uses /usr/local/IM6/bin/.

This Configuration works well at my vBulletin Forum and on Typo3 and a Joomla CMS.

I have changed this Path at my LocalSettings.php but it still says to me at the Articel:

"Fehler beim Erstellen des Vorschaubildes: sh: line 1: /usr/local/IM6/bin/: is a directory "

Error SVG
I can't upload SVG. manual is not work.

Copy all LocalSettings.php file contents to here, please. -- WonYong ( Talk / Contrib ) 06:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I installed mediawiki on Windows XP I use ImageMagick-6.3.2-Q16

Following is my source file:

$wgScriptPath      = "/mediawiki";
 * 1) The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki;
 * 2) defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg'; $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true;

$wgSVGConverters = array(   'ImageMagick' => '"C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-6.3.2-Q16/convert" -background white -geometry $width $input $output',  );

$wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick';


 * 1) For more information on customizing the URLs please see:
 * 2) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

$wgEnableEmail     = true; $wgEnableUserEmail = true;

Following is seemed to be Linux environment

Stupid sizing
Why does MediaWiki make unnecessary Thumbnails? e.g; on Image:USDA Hardiness zone map.jpg the "higher resolution" image is only slightly different from the the "thumbnail", and it is therefore wasteful to bother producing one instead of showing the actual image. --belg4mit
