Needing some help,
ive not long had my server so i'm a complete novice
at installing things, as ive never had to do it before.
Its just a case of showing me how
But as its a learning curve, i'm hoping someone
can guide me in the right direction please.

Image Magic Home Page

My Spec
Apache 1.3.37 Running
DirectAdmin 1.28.1 Running
MySQL 4.1.11
CentOS 4.3

I have root access.

So from ImageMagic Home page which way should i go,
what do i do.

Install from Source?
Binary Release?
And then what?

Thanks for any advice

Mark, if you don't know how to compile from source, just use the binary release; simply upload the files to a directory on your server and link to the paths in the control panel.

This one ? (i'm unsure, sys spec 1st post)

ImageMagick-6.3.2-0.i386.rpm - Fedora Core 6 i386 RPM

Binary Page Click Me

Where should i create the directory?
Path? (example, your leading the blind).

Thanks in advance

I will catch up in the morning, sorry soo tired...
(Not a good time to read instructions).

Well, assuming you can use the rpm command, yes those ones.

And in what directory? doens't matter to me, how bout a plugins directory under your forum lol.

I think your right about the *.rmp

Looks like it should be this version would you agree?

ImageMagick-i386-unknown-freebsd6.1.tar.gz
As im not sure at all.

Directory?
I was under the asumption that it was to hide
in the vars/etc/what ever ??

I would like this available to all domains / accounts
on my server, so does that mean the binary option??

Sorry there seems to be more questions than progress.

I'm familar with DOS its just the server enviorment
that un nerves me as i'm not used to it at all.
And the new command lines. ( I dont want to break it).

Thanks in advance Mark.

wherever you put the files are where they'd be, wiht a precompiled binary you can put them anywhere; /usr/bin mainly would make them availabel to everyone on the machine.

Okay i now have ImageMagick 6 installed and its still
a white screen with the test commands.

Version: ImageMagick 6.0.7 08/28/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2004 ImageMagick Studio LLC

The forums recognise that its installed,
as the paths have been entred correctly.

How did i install it?
From Root access only

yum install ImageMagick

if you use yum to install imagemagick, you have to restart apache:
service httpd restart

should do it.

Done them mate,
I'm just looking up the test you can do from root,
that image logo thing, i read it somewhere.

Glad i'm moving forward anyway

"/usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif"

I'm not sure what verson of IM is installed through the YumRepo of your os; you may want to validate its version.
