Imagemagick down on Page-Zone?

Is there anyone here who has a site using Imagemagick on Page-zone? If so is
it working (i.e. through the /usr/bin/mogrify) ?

This is day 4 trying to tell them there seems to be a problem.... I can
change my config-inc file to direct to the GD 2.0.8 installed on the server
and works like a charm...except the colors aren't to crash hot.....

I've usually had great service from these guys Jim and Co., but this seems
to be in the too hard basket....

Check into the user forums at Page-Zone. I've gotten good help from
the guys there. I'll bet you will, too.

Is this via the forums, or with a ticket? If a ticket, try the forums;
your issue will be seen by more people.

And good luck.

I am using it, quite successfully, to create thumbnail images. I found
that the system() method in PHP had suddenly became disabled for one of
my accounts, but found that creating a 'php.ini' file in the directory
that the script was in, with 'php_flag disable_functions ""' in it fixed
the problem, and I could resize images once again.

Of course, I don't know whether this is the same problem you are
getting, or indeed whether this is how you are using (or attempting to
use) Imagemagick.

I am calling the mogrify command from within a config-inc file with PHP (the
program is photopost). It has been working successfully for some time but
now it won't create the thumbnails as it should. Couldn't find a problem
with the script and when I change the config-inc file to point to GD2 it
works ok . Using mogrify I get an error:
System() has been disabled for security reasons in .....

How do I write the php.ini file

I can create it and upload it...can you advise what goes in it.

This is about my last ditch effort.

Yep, that's the same error I was getting too.

Using a regular text editor such as notepad et al.

Just put the following line in it:

php_flag disable_functions ""

That worked for me on Page-Zone, so it /should/ work for you too.

I did this and all it seemed to do was disable the error message... I
reuploaded the script that the error message related to and it solved the
problem. Thanks for the input.
