Continuing with my testing of the RS deployment I found that I could
not download any files.

A quick search here found that disabling the exiftool fixes the
problem and sure enough it did. Great.

But what if I want to use the exiftool? I am using Win2008 with a WAMP
installation.

Anyone have this working?

Here is my info:

PHP version 5.2.8 OK
MySQL version 5.1.30-community-log OK
GD version bundled (2.0.34 compatible) OK
PHP.INI value for 'memory_limit' 500M OK
PHP.INI value for 'post_max_size' 500M OK
PHP.INI value for 'upload_max_filesize' 500M OK
Write access to 'filestore' directory OK
Blocked browsing of 'filestore' directory FAIL: filestore folder
appears to be browseable; remove 'Indexes' from Apache 'Options'
list.
ImageMagick Version: ImageMagick 6.5.4-5 2009-07-22 Q16 OpenMP
http://www.imagemagick.org OK
FFmpeg OK
Ghostscript OK
EXIF extension installed OK
Exiftool (not installed)
Last scheduled task execution (days) Never WARNING
Relevance matching will not be effective. Ensure batch/cron.php is
executed at least once daily via a cron job or similar.

Exif should work just fine on Windows. Here's the way I do it:

Download the Windows executeable from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool

Open the exiftool archive file.

Extract the contents to the c:\exiftool folder.

Navigate to the c:\exiftool folder.

Rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe

In the config.php, specify the following:

$exiftool_path = 'c:/exiftool';

Navigate to the RS installation check and look for an "OK" for
exiftool.

Remember to use forward slashes in config.php when specifying folder
paths on a Windows system.

Hope that helps,
John

Perfect. I just needed to rename the exiftool(-k).exe

Cheers John!
