Hi,

I cleared my cache and now there are no more images on my website. It's an issue with ImageMagick and convert.

In my EZPublish error.log : eZImageManager::createImageAlias: Failed converting ..

and in my Apache error_log I have tons of : sh: /convert: No such file or directory

It's strange, my ImageMagick seems ok : which convert returns /usr/bin/convert

In phpinfo() I can see imagick section, and imagick enabled, 3.0.0, ...

Same thing with php -i | grep imagick
/etc/php.d/imagick.ini,
imagick
imagick module => enabled
...

In my settings/override/image.ini.append.php :

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=true
ExecutablePath=/usr/bin
Executable=convert

(I tried ExecutablePath=/usr/bin and ExecutablePath=,same thing).

I don't know what to do, for me everthing seems ok, both ImageMagick or EZPublish ...

If somebody has an idea, thx in advance. (PS : my config : PHP 5.2, Imagick 3.00, Centos 5)

Regards.

Hi Gérard

Mmm it seems that you have an INI issue here... Be aware that the default value (in settings/image.ini) for [ImageMagick].ExecutablePath is an empty string (it explains your /convert errors).

So my guess would be a problem in your image.ini.append.php override. Can you show the whole image.ini content please ?

Activating debug (clear the cache after) should also be very helpful :)

Hello

can you go to the setup > configuration ini page in your ezpublish admin and choose image.ini in your siteaccess : you choose have the list of the variable and you will see which settings are take into account.

Hello,

First, thank you Jerome and thank you Alexandre having answered.

Unfortunately, both Admin Panel & INI files seem correct :

Name default "ImageMagick"
  IsEnabled override true
  Handler default "eZImageShellFactory"
  ExecutablePath override "/usr/bin"  
  Executable override "convert"  
  PreParameters default ""
  PostParameters default ""

settings/image.ini :

ImageConverters[]
ImageConverters[]=ImageMagick
ImageConverters[]=GD

...

[ImageMagick]
Name=ImageMagick
IsEnabled=true
Handler=eZImageShellFactory
ExecutablePath=
Executable=convert
# ExecutableMac=convert
# ExecutableUnix=convert
PreParameters=
PostParameters=

settings/override/image.ini.append.php

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?
[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=true
ExecutablePath=/usr/bin
Executable=convert
[FileSettings]
ImagePermissions=0777
*/ ?>

After reading your infos, i might consider checking the following:

  • has the webserver-user read and execute permissions on convert binary? check this really by invoking convert as www-data (or whatever user you use) user to be sure.
  • has it worked before clearing the cache?
  • did you do apache updates? perhaps doing a graceful reload does somehow "refresh" the apache2-mod-php5 instance. this might be the last resort as all seems to be correct set up and ini's are correct.
  • check the re-created/cached inifiles (php-arrays in *.php files) in var/cache/ini folder. are the permissions correct? what does really got stored here? my guess is that clearing the cache has altered file permissions on those files/folders and ez cannot re-create cache files - somehow - or similar.
