Programmers: Quick question

[Gillespie]

I'm getting this error:

couldn't execute /usr/local/bin/mogrify -resize 250x79 /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/imagenes/imagenes/umfqo_qok02_L.gif 2>&1


Basically it is an image uploading script that I use a lot. Never had a problem with it up until now that I'm trying to run it on a new VPS.

What are the possible reasons why it can't execute mogrify?

[2012]

could be

file permissions? ...
path problems ? ...

[Gillespie]

I spent an hour playing with that. Changed most of the relevant stuff to 777 and nothing.

is "mogrify" whatever that is installed on the server ?

it's always something stupid when it worked someplace else and you make a move ...

[pussyserver - BANNED FOR LIFE]

filename

Ya, installed it with my bare hands. It's part of ImageMagick I suppose.

Filename works in other VPSs. :S

[2012]

have you tried mogrify -resize 250x79 directly from putty or whatever your using for a console.

I bet somethings missing. good luck

[Gillespie]

Yup, works from the console with a regular user, not even root.

are you running that from php? safe_mode maybe?

[mortenb]

is php set up to allow exec() to run at all? i've had problems with servers that were set up like that in the past

[k0nr4d]

try running it with system, shell_exec, or pass_thru

[Gillespie]

It is off, according to php.ini

Where can I find this?

try running it with system, shell_exec, or pass_thru

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you please elaborate?

Thanks!

Thanks!

what they are saying is to use the PHP functions to pass the resize string.
http://uk2.php.net/system
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php

create a php file with

<?php phpinfo();?>

upload it onto your server and see if any of these functions are on the disabled list.

Quick answer. No.

None of them are even present in the info page.

I'm really starting to wonder wtf is going on with this script :S

[4boxmedia]

can you link to the php info page?
