Location of Image Magick

By Matthew Blest on Oct 2, 2009 at 5:19 AM 1 Vote 0 Votes

Hi, my ISP has added Image Magick to the web server, what line of text do I need to add to mt-config.cgi for it to be found?

    Hi Matthew,

    Where do you intend to use Image::Magick?

    If your server admin installed correcly the Image::Magick module for you (include perl::magick) and assuming they also have the GD library installed, then when go to the mt-check.cgi page you should see the system reporting that Image::Magick is installed and the version of it.

    However, if it says it is installed and maybe you want to use it for CAPTCHA, but you don't see it on the comments configuration page, then you may like to add the following directive to your mt-config.cgi file:

    CaptchaSourceImageBase /your/server/path/to/mt-static/images/captcha-source

    Hope it helps,
    Mihai Bocsaru
