I have a strange problem with the use of Image::Magick.

My web host supports Image::Magick. When i run mt-check.cgi it sais:

QUOTE

Image::Magick...
Your server has Image::Magick installed (version 5.5.7).

So i changed my mt.cfg into:

QUOTE

ImageDriver ImageMagick

I uploaded the mt.cfg and rebuilt the site. But when i try to upload an image and check the "Create a thumbnail for this image" field and press Popup image button i receive the message:

QUOTE

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I have the feeling that i am missing a basic step in the process. Can someone help me with this problem?

Thanx in advance.

find out what is recorded in the webserver error log when you get the error. you might have to contact your host provider to find out this information.

Thanks for the tip. The following remark was in my error log:

QUOTE

Premature end of script headers: /home/adlibsn/public_html/mt/mt.cgi

Any idea what this means?

I found this in the help file:

QUOTE

By default, Movable Type will look for the NetPBM tools in one of the following locations: /usr/local/netpbm/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /usr/bin. If you need to set a different path, add another line to mt.cfg:

NetPBMPath /path/to/netpbm

My path to perl is usr/bin/perl

Do i need to insert a line too when want to use Image::Magick?

I tried to insert the line ImageMagickPath /usr/bin/perl
but that didn't work.

I have the EXACT same problem, down to the same error log message.

I've contacted my web hosting company and this is all they tell me:

QUOTE

Both ImageMagick library and Image::Magick Perl are installed and some of our clients are able to create thumbnail using these libraries using their own photo gallery scripts.

the path of the ImageMagick library is /usr/X11R6/bin

No one knows the answer to this question?

As near as I can tell, the path to ImageMagick is defined when the Image::Magick Perl module is installed, and that's why MT doesn't have a setting for it. I'm assuming Image::Magick is supposed to know where to look already.

have you setup the blog in the config?

also, make sure the chmod permissions are correct ....

I'm having this identical problem as well. Same errors in the server log (about prematurely end of script headers) meanwhile, mt-check.cgi finds Image::Magick installed properly.

Someone please help?!

I tried NetPBM, alternatively, and it's giving me a different error - it returns

QUOTE

An error occurred:

Broken pipe: write( 21, 'ÿØÿà�JFIF��`�`��ÿíJPhotoshop 3.0�8BIMí

and so on... basically, I'm assuming that it's failing to recognize the image's filetype and just dumping it out in ASCII characters. I could be wrong.

So, if anyone can help me solve either of these problems, I'd be really grateful!

Thanks,

Matthew
