Looks like I'm in a similar boat here.

Running Apache2, Php5. I have both GD2 and imagemagick installed. though with the captcha option under registration settings the system will only allow the imagemagic. it does not give the gd2 option as the gallery settings do.


Gallery graphics are working fine, but captcha at registration is showing a red x graphic.

I can load the graphics manually ie http://www blah blah/images/captcha blah just fine.

I'm thinking it's in php? I tried installing webalizer and at the very end it pop'd up with an error "Recompile GD with USE="png"

So anyone got any ideas what I may need to do here?

How would I recompile php ??

You need to be using ImageMagick 6 the IM5 version will not work.

I have imagemagic 6.3.5.10 installed.

Seems image magic is not working properly. Photos uploaded to a gallery are turning up X'd

something must be just a tad bit off. GD2 will post graphics fine. But I'm concerned about gd2 as I said an attempted install of webalizer returned an error that gd2 needed to be recompiled with use=png.

Makes me kind of wonder.

What is the path you've entered for ImageMagick? I've noted some not actually including "mogrify" and "convert" in the path (as in they just enter /usr/bin vs /usr/bin/convert and /usr/bin/mogrify; paths will likely vary)

Also double check the permissions for the folder and files

/usr/bin/convert and /usr/bin/mogrify are set. That was one I did catch.

What you can do is go to the following url for your forum while logged in as an admin. If there is an error occuring, sometimes we're able to catch it and output it:

ubbthreads.php?ubb=captcha&t=im&test=1

Rick, I'd like to sugguest that the url you provided be included in the admin cp next to the paths, as a "test path" link?

I'll second that... where ever that area is, Nice shot... This is the error I got..

PHP error: convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/home/website/public_html/forum/images/captcha/backgrounds/background2.jpg'. convert: missing an image filename `GIF:/home/website/public_html/forum/cache/a8631c366912dff3d159b39e565c4b0a.gif'.

Obvoiously a PHP issue. dang'd if I know what though....

Hey does global variables need to be turned on for Threads these days?

Bump.....

Anyone up for some hand holding...???
