[Mediawiki-l] problems getting ImageMagic to work

[Diederik Oudshoorn]

Hello,

At the moment i am buiding a intranet using an instance of the MediaWiki.
There are a few issues I cannot resolve though. Any help would be 
appreciated!

ImageMagic:
I cannot get te resizing of Images to work. I have done the following:

1)Installed a version of ImageMagic in directory C:\Program 
Files\ImageMagick-6.1.8-Q8 (using ImageMagick-6.1.8-Q8-windows-static.exe);
The environment variable PATH is set correctly

2)Made a copy of convert.exe (ImageMagic) to c:\ (To avoid problems with 
the space in "Program Files" in the path to the original convert.exe);
C:\convert.exe  works from the command shell, I checked that.

3)Placed a copy of   php_imagick.dll  in C:\EasyPHP\php\extensions

4) added   extension=php_imagick.dll   to php.ini in the C:\Windows 
directory

5)Placed a copy of  ImageMagickObject.dll  in the  C:\WINDOWS\system32 
directory

6) Changed  LocalSettings.php to:
<snip>
## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
## is writable, then uncomment this:
$wgDisableUploads		= false;
$wgUseImageResize		= true;
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:\convert.exe";
</snip>

When I Upload an Image (BenR.jpg 1022 x 1363 pixels, deliberatly big in 
size) through the [upload] link of the wiki, the image itself loads 
correctly, but the resized one (to fit on the image's info page) does 
not appear. I get a "broken picture" frame from my browser instead, as 
well as 2 errors rendered into the HTML of the page:
<snip>
<b>Warning</b>:  stat(): Stat failed for 
c:\easyphp\www\mediawiki/images/thumb/9/92/450px-BenR.jpg (errno=2 - No 
such file or directory) in

<br />

such file or directory in 
<b>c:\easyphp\www\mediawiki\includes\Image.php</b> on line <b>533</b><br />
</snip>

When cleaned they read:
Warning:  stat(): Stat failed for 
c:\easyphp\www\mediawiki/images/thumb/9/92/450px-BenR.jpg (errno=2 - No 
such file or directory) in c:\easyphp\www\mediawiki\includes\Image.php 
on line 530

line 533

This left me at a loss as to what is going on. The error log of Apache 
shows another strange thing (apart from the error from convert.exe or is 
it PHP's?)

I'm guessing that the Apache-error "invalid Filename" induces some kind 
of illegal filename to begin with. When that is offered to convert.exe 
or to convert.exe via PHP things go wrong.

-- The documentation on ImageMagic is scarce on the Internet
-- I am using the wiki in the Dutch (nl) language, hence the 'speciaal:' 
en 'afbeelding:' in the Apache log. 'Afbeelding:' meaning 'Image', and 
'speciaal', well I'm not sure ;-)
-- I do not have a trailing slash in my DocumentRoot

I am using

 >MediaWIki   mediawiki-1.4beta3
 >easyphp1-7 (with apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.3. Mysql 4.0.15, phpadmin 2.5.3)
 > Windows XP (SP2) Home edition 1GB RAM

I would be very gratefull for any answers or suggestions!
