Hi Marco, et al,
Thanks for responding. I use GoDaddy hosting, so it's a black box as to
what OS and other particulars. But I've continued digging, and finally got
it to work. Below are the details on how to make it work:
*Step 1 (Optional) - Configure GoDaddy Linux account to use PHP 5 by default
*
This can be accomplished in two ways:
a) Modify the .htaccess file in your root web folder to:
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4
or b)Configure via the Control Panel (takes up to 24hrs of waiting)
*Log in to your Account
Manager<http://mya.godaddy.com/default.aspx?prog_id=GoDaddy>
.
*In the *My Products* section, select *Hosting Account List*.
*Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click *Open*.
*In the *Content* section of the Hosting Control Center, click the *
Languages* icon.
*Select PHP version you'd like to set as the default.
*Click *Continue*.
*Verify the listed changes, and then click *Update*.
*Step 2 - Modify LocalSettings.php*
Look for $wgImageMagickConvertCommand, and modify its value to
"/usr/local/bin/convert"

That's it. Thanks everyone.

Any ideas? Thanks.
please run convert --version or -v; maybe you got an too-old or
too-new
or totally wrong version installed. what OS do you use?
