Hello,

The installer can not find the 'C:/ImageMagick-6.3.5-Q16/' directory you have specified for ImageMagick or it does not have permission to access it. Check that your typing is correct and that you have access to the specified directory

1)use the correct separator/ insted \ and asure myself the the program was installed correctlly
2)the above not helped me.then reinstal the image magick, still the same error
3)read the read me file and documentation but there was no solution to my problem
4)with server and mysql database everythig is OK put this error is annoing and i am desperate already

Pls help me!

ImageMagick installing/troubleshooting is not related to coppermine and this support forum
And self hosting is not recommended at all

I appologise but,
As a part of Coppermine installation (in a ImageMagick path field)the user shoud type the path to continue with installation, this point bring me to this forum, because i am wondering if this problem have been encountered by other users, and if it is so to rcv some solutions or kind advice.

It's part of coppermine's minimum requirements to have one of the image libraries that coppermine can work with (either ImageMagick or GD) up and working. We do not provide help for setting up those image libraries in the first place, nor do we provide help with setting up the other necessary components that are being described in the minimum reuirements (e.g. a webserver) - simply because it's beyond the scope of the coppermine support board to help users set up a webserver properly in the first place.
Your question shows that you haven't read the coppermine documentation. Read it before asking questions.

You have the follwoing options:

• use GD if you don't have ImageMagick
• look for support on setting up ImageMagick somewhere else on the www, preferably on ImageMagick's home page. Google might be another option

As Sami suggested: don't run your own webserver if you don't know how to set it up in the first place. Go for paid webhosting instead, as webhosts know how to run and maintain a webserver.
