Debug Help

Hi,

Firstly can I say phpUpload is a brilliant piece of code that I have used many times.

However recently I have had need to use it on a new server and now have the issue that when I upload an image I get the "successfully uploaded!" message but there is no file uploaded.

I checked the server and found that there ImageMagick wasn't installed so I have installed the following...
ImageMagick-6.2.3-0.tar.gz
jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
libpng-1.0.6.tar.gz
ibtiff-lzw-compression-kit-1.1.targz
tiff-v3.5.5.tar.gz

However I still have the problem of no files being uploaded.

I have tried the upload_example.php and this works fine.
I have changed the flag to use the GD lib but thisdoesn't work because the php has been configured without GD!

So I am currently stuck,and would appreciate any sugggestions as what to try next?

Here is a link to the phpinfo...

Hope someone can help.

Hi Luke, I'm sorry to say but my only advice is to move to a real web server IM is not special and is free. There is no reason for a hosting company to offer a web host without any image processing tool. I know shared hosting for only 12 $ a year offering a complete web server...

Hi Olaf,

I have installed IM on the server and I can run the Image Magick commands from the command line.
I have root access to the server, so can change anything that needs to be changed.

Unfortunatly changing server isn't an option. 

Do you have any suggestions of where I can put break points to see how far the code is executing before it fails?

Cheers

I have installed IM on the server and I can run the Image Magick commands from the command line.

than it should be possible to run the script as it is...

which command do you tried via the command line?

and maybe it's the exec() function that not allowed...

Bingo! Its the exec function that is not being allowed...

Happy to know why its not running, but what can I do about this?

is it a case of recompiling the php?

I have run mogrify and convert from the command line so I know that IM works.

Arrghh so close now... hope there is an easy solution.

is it a case of recompiling the php?

No you need to change php.ini

This can be because of safe_mode = on or exec is disabled

In anyway you have to edit your php.ini file

Hmmm, having examined the php.ini I cannot see where this would be disabled or blocked

Safemode is off in the php.ini

A copy of the php ini can be found here...

Looks ok to me or am I missing something?

BTW
 this is the code in the php...

Code:

exec(sprintf("/home/default/image/ImageMagick-6.2.3/utilities/convert %s -resize %dx%d -quality %d %s", $file_name_src, $w, $h, $quality, $file_name_dest));

Then maybe the php process (or the apache process) don't have permission to execute the IM?

What is the error that you get now?

THats the problem, I don;t get any errors... unless they are logged somewhere?

All I know is that when it comes to the exec command running with mogrify and convert nothing happens.

Could this be because IM has installed incorrectly? Or that apache doesn't have permission to run it?

I notice that on the new server when search for convert files I get the following results...

Code:

[root@localhost /]# find -name convert
./home/default/image/tiff-v3.5.5/contrib/acorn/convert
./home/default/image/ImageMagick-6.2.3/utilities/.libs/convert
./home/default/image/ImageMagick-6.2.3/utilities/convert

However on the server where easyphpupload works I get the following results...

Code:

root@pmhltaa4 [/]# find -name convert
./usr/bin/convert

I'm not sure if this is relevant?

Both can be the case.

the find command looks ok. Try this after you run the script:

Code:

# tail /tmp/php.err

(or php5.err)

I don't seem to have either php.err, php5.err or any .err file

Anywhere else I should be looking?

hey guys what is this about

maybe its time to move the thread to the linux forum hehe...

Hahaha, yeah maybe!!


I looked in the /var/log/httpd/error_log and found the following...

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file /home/default/image/ImageMagick-6.2.3/utilities/.libs/1404-lt-convert: Permission denied
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Looks like the problem, but not sure what to do about it?

Wait a second. What you mean you changed Apache rights?

Have you changed the owner of the apache? If this is the case then you may have added a hole to your system.

The correct thing to do is :

Code:

chown nobody:nogroup convert
