Thread:Project:Support desk/Error creating thumbnail/reply (5)

Yes, I am a on a shared host. Changing the path to ImageMagick to just "Convert" didn't fix it.

HOWEVER, I can now report that I found the solution! My wiki is on DreamHost, which has an automated MediaWiki installation process that I used to install. I thought that if they had some experience installing MW, then perhaps they might have run into this problem before, and might have a solution. I went to the support page of my web panel, and found that the DreamHost wiki is MediaWiki. I did a quick scan through their MediaWiki page and found the problem and the likely solution -- I applied it, and it worked! See http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/MediaWiki#Thumbnail_problems for this particular issue.

In particular they suggested adding the line $wgMaxShellMemory = 524288; to the LocalSettings.php. Which is what, you, Ciencia, suggested originally.

I thank both Ciencia and Bawolff for working with me on this.
