Okay, just at the outset, I am a total nebie at this. I have 3 domains and website and have experience with html and javascript. That is the extent of my programming abilities. I am also 60 and don't absorb most of the technical stuff well anymore. With that stated ...
I wanted to use Coppermine Gallery on one of my domains so users could view pics uploaded by members. That's all I want to do. Then I see I need this ImageMagick pgm so I downloaded that, and like coppermine extracted the zip to my drive with folder structure intact.
Okay, I FTP'd the coppermine directory structure to my domain and chmod'ed the appropriate folders (albums and include) to 777. FTP indicated the process was done.
So now I go to my browser and run install.php. The MySQL info was accepted, but it errored out on imagemagick with the folowing error:
"The installer can not find the 'd:/ImageMagick/' 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."
Great! I entered d:/ImageMagick as shown with forward stroke. The directions with this program are almost nil, especially for non-programmers or new users. I don't understand it at all, or why coppermine needs a command line convert pgm just to show and store images!
Can anyone advise me what I did wrong and how to fix this mess? I'm about ready to delete the whole thing and use html tables to do what I want!
