Not to be rude, and I only mean this comment with the nicest of thoughts but, I have searched and searched and searched for an answer to a solution to this problem, on both google, coppermine's own "SUPPORT" board and everywhere else.
Now, I know that Coppermine doesn't really support IM, but out of the huge list of users who use Coppermine I'm sure a bunch use Windows as well and have run into a few problems that all the other windows users are having.
Now, I two, am running into this error where the IM convert utility is found however, not able to be used. And the only generic answer I can find is..
enable GD in php.ini (either gd1 or gd2, but not both) by uncommenting the proper line. Make sure the dll resides in the proper place.
If you want to use ImageMagick, make sure to set proper permissions.
Please understand that this is not a coppermine issue: the minimum requirements for coppermine are a working and properly configured webserver that has either GD or IM. If you need help setting up your server, you're recommended to google on your issues or to look into the faq sections of GD or IM homepages.
There have been similar postings to yours in the past on this board as well, make sure to search the board first before posting.
And there aren't similar postings that answer this problem, just similar postings with this same generic answer on the bottom of it. Can you give anymore insight into this problem and solve it, or do I just give up and use GD which I hate as well?
Thanks again, and this isn't a flame just a desperite attempt at finding an answer.
