System() and ImageMagick

Hi Folks,

the following problem occured:

i use imagemagick (Version: ImageMagick 6.2.2 05/26/05 Q16 on Fedora
Core 3 Server)
When i manually (on bash) execute:

/usr/bin/convert -size 300x267
/var/www/html/web4/html/_img/_2/b28a3240dffa1ca d3dab0e877a3d7c 5e.jpg
-resize 126x100+0+-6 +profile "*"
/var/www/html/web4/html/_img/_2/_tn/t_b28a3240dffa1 cad3dab0e877a3d 7c5e.jpg

it works. (i am root)

executing the same within a PHP Script with system(... command as shown
above ...);

i get the following output:
convert: unable to open image
`/var/www/html/web4/html/_img/_2/fa1d0a1d407f077 aa98c8498b3e8be 7d.jpg':
Permission denied.
The /var/ folder belongs to root and has chmod 755
/var/www/ has 777 (root),
/var/www/web4/ has 777 (apache --the httpd runs on user
apache:apache),
/var/www/web4/html/ ... till _img/_2/.... has 777 and is
apache:apache.

I really don't get this.... can anyone give me a hint? Even googling
didn't resolve this issue.

THanks a lot,
cheers.

I will solve this not long ago :-)
I'm not sure if this is not a security hole but this work for me.
/var/ must have provileges 77x
/var/www/ 77x
/var/www/web4/ 77x
/var/www/web4/html/ 77x

and for all directories the group must be some group where "apache" is a
member of this group.
And at the end you MUST RESTART Apache ;-) because Apache is running using
privileges readed at start time.

Sorry if it's too obvious but... what are the permissions of the file
itself?

One guess... Do you have a SELinux enhanced Linux distro, such as Fedora
Core? If so, there's a graphical tool somewhere (titled "Security") that
allows you to enable/desable SELinux. Try it out.

Folks, I've not used ImageMagick before - I've worked with the gd functions that are pre-compiled in PHP and found some of the limits problematic yet heard better reviews on ImageMagick. I've got PHP 4.3.3 - When I do a phpinfo(); it tells me it was compiled with --with-imagemagick There is no other mention of it anywhere (unlike GD which is listed further down in its own box).

Hi all. I'm creating a web-based application that uses PHP, MySQL & Apache on a Windows platform. What I need to do is create images on the fly with either GD or ImageMagick, display them on the web browser and then save the file. The tricky part is the format of that saved file - it needs to be an EPS format. The image won't be anything terribly exciting - just some basic shapes (boxes, circles, etc) and some text. No fancy colors,...

Hi to all!!! I'm trying to convert a pdf file into an image, for example JPG or PNG format, with ImageMagick. I use the command line. For example: convert header.pdf header.jpg.

I think also that this option isn't active for the pdf conversion to an image format or not? I need some good ideas :D... Thanks to...
