Image::Magick

Vote 0 Votes

How do I solve this? It's at the top of my forum, and I don't even know where to begin.

Image::Magick is either not present on your server or incorrectly configured. Due to that, you will not be able to use Movable Type's userpics feature. If you wish to use that feature, please install Image::Magick or use an alternative image driver.

  • Hi Jonathan,

    Looking at your installation "mt-check.cgi" script I could see:

    Image::Magick

    Your server does not have Image::Magick installed, or Image::Magick requires another module that is not installed. This module is needed if you would like to be able to create thumbnails of uploaded images. Please consult the installation instructions for help in installing Image::Magick.

    The best thing you could do is to ask your hosting support to install the Image::Magick module for you.

    If they don't bother to do this for you, then you could try replacing the ImageMagick image driver with NetPBM or GD.

    That could be done by adding to your "mt-config.cgi" file this directive:

    ImageDriver NetPBM

    And if that fails, you could try:

    ImageDriver GD

    There is no other way!

    Kind Regards,
    Mihai Bocsaru
