ImageMagick FAIL: Execution failed; unexpected output when executing convert command. Output was ''.

[David]

While doing a new Windows install, I came across this error message,
which had been previously reported without a solution in the group.

The problem apparently had to do with the space in "Program Files".
The default installation path for ImageMagick on Windows is something
like

c:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.1-Q16\

However, this caused the installation check to fail. I was able to
solve the problem without changing anything major on the system by
creating a windows symbolic link to the ImageMagick directory by doing
something like

mklink /D imagemagick "c:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.1-Q16"

in the root directory of C:\

and then changing the imagemagick path to c:\imagemagick

Hope this helps someone else out in the future. (Not sure if this is
something we could fix in the code - worth thinking about, perhaps.)

I'm getting this too, but on a mac install.

To boot, staticsync seems to be having issues with "convert" in IM:

"convert: no decode delegate for this image format..." (a jpeg)
"convert: missing an image filename..."

command line has imagemagick working just fine

any ideas?

Giving this a bump...any help would be great

I have not seen this specifically, but it definitely seems like a problem with the imagemagick command being used in this context. I think we would need to capture the actual command being executed to figure this out.

Unfortunately I don't think we have any debugging code built in for this right now, so it would probably be a matter of finding the line that's causing the problem and sticking an echo statement before it to see what it's actually trying to execute. Since I haven't seen this on my systems, I can't really do anything to help debug it on my end.

(Developer musing: In the future, I wonder if we should create a custom shell_exec function that has the option of logging all external commands to the debug log so that it would be easier to track down problems like this.)

I bagged using Macports version of Imagemagick and went for the one bundled in Bitnami's mampstack.  I also checked out the latest subversion and the fail is gone.

I do have the old setup functioning, so if anyone wants to run me through some troubleshooting to try and target the problem spot let me know.

I'm getting this as well, using a homebrew version of imagemagick. convert works fine and displays the same output I would expect. The strange thing is that proc_open() doesn't seem to be able to get the output from convert -version, thus the fail.

Anyone have any experience debugging this kind of thing?

[darcy christ]

I got it to work by reinstalling all my homebrew packages in order: jpeg, ghostscript, imagemagick. This seemed to fix those libraries.


As well, I needed to comment out an apache env setting for MAMP, which was telling MAMP to use its own libraries. An alternative would have been to copy the libraries into MAMP's lib directory.

in /Application/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars, commented the following lines:

#DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/lib:/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
#export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

I had the same problem. I didn't re-install anything, just commented out the two lines that you suggested below, and that solved my insallation check problem.

Thanks for posting your solution.

[John HOLMES]

Sorry, I don't think you'll find it on Linux.  This is an issue with MAMP on a mac.

Unfortunately I don't have any idea how to do this on Linux.

I am experiencing the same issue with ImageMagick (and other PHP-addons) on a Linux-installation. Where should I look for the file in which to comment the described lines? Your advise is much appreciated.

OK, thanks!

[Bergh Jon]

Yep, worked here... comment out those lines, restart MAMP, good-to-go!

Thanks...
