Hi there!

I'm running Apache/2.0.47 (Win32) With PHP/4.3.2

Installing eZ Publish 323 was rather simple. It told me that I had ImageMagick installed.

But when I tried to follow the tutorial "building an eZ Publish Site", I got som real problems when I tried to upload images.

The debug area had a warning in it stating that it was unable to execute the c:\winnt\System32/convert.exe.

It turned out that win2k already has a program called convert.exe in the system32 folder. Therefore eZP wrongly assumed that I had ImageMagick installed (that's my theory at least).

So I downloaded ImageMagick and installed it in c:\programfiler\ImageMagick557 and altered the /settings/override/image.ini.append.php so that the ConvertPath = c:\programfiler\ImageMagick557 and set the ConvertExecutable = convert.exe

Now I thought I was ready to get some pictures in there, but no.

I also had to set the local security settings for the c:\programfiler\ImageMagick557 folder so that everyone had access to it.

Then I had to upload the image a couple of times, as mentioned in the bug note in the tutorial.

And now it works!

Hope this information may have some use for other readers.
