Coppermine And Imagemagick

[Clint02]

I am trying to install Coppermine and having trouble with the install.php. For some reason the program is not recognizing the database that I have setup for the program.

If anyone has set up Coppermine at TCH and have some simple instructions on installing it, I would appreciate all advice on the matter.

 

I also understand that Imagemagick is already installed on all the servers, what is the path to it to tell the Coppermine program.

 

Thanks,

 

Clint

I havent set up coppermine, but in the config for database name and username did you use cpanelname_databasename for the database name and cpanelname_username for the username, and did you assign a user to the database in cpanel?

 

Those are the most common reasons it wont connect to a database, I worked on mine for 2 hours before i figured it out

Yes, I did set it up that way. I had to learn that the hard way a couple of months ago when installing another script.

 

Thanks,

I got it to finally work, but need the path to Imagemagick. Can someone provide the path.

 

Thanks,

/usr/local/bin/ is the path to all Image::Magick files.

 

(I deleted the topic that was started asking this question. Please do not double post as we will see the question and answer it as quickly as possible.)

is "/usr/local/bin/" literally what I put into the path for imagemagick in the config of the gallery?

i've done that and my images still are off-colour... GD1 and GD2 dont seem to work either. am i doing something wrong?

maybe someone can help....

There should be an option to specify the quality of the images and thumbnails, i had that problem brfore and it was because the quality was set to low.

[llama_thumper]

that's set to 100....

Try adding some of these options to the Command line options for ImageMagick on the CopperMine Cofig settings page

i've tried doing it. interestingly, nothing at all happens. for instance the way i set things is to charcoal and emboss images. nothing has happened.

 

-antialias -charcoal 25 -emboss 5

 

thus my conclusion is that maybe the ImageMagick path is incorrect... is this really all that i paste in for the path?:

 

/usr/local/bin/

 

NOTHING more? (no customizing, etc)

[TCH-Dick]

thats really it, you can try /usr/local/bin/convert or /usr/local/bin/convert/ but all you should need is /usr/local/bin/ If the path was incorrect it would either not load pictures at all or it would give you an error when trying to use that path.

solution:

 

i uploaded a new picture and the thumbnail appeared correctly.

 

hence the conclusion (maybe too obvious for some but not apparent enough for me is that the thumbnails get created while being uploaded -

thus it is important to have the right settings (ie GD2 or ImageMagick, and if the latter then the path should be input) BEFORE you publish all your images....

 

as for already uploaded galleries with off-colour thumbnails, it doesnt seem possible to at one go delete all thumbnails since they are in subdirectories together with the main images. so its best to delete the whole album and upload it once again, this time with the correct thumbnail settings in th config

duh

it doesnt seem possible to at one go delete all thumbnails

I would have to look again, but I think you can do this using util.php which is included with the latest release.
