Marco Zinn	Saturday 29 November 2003 5:14:05 am Hi Alex, when you upload images, the original is stored in var/original/image. At the same time, a "reference image" of this images is create in var/reference/image. This usually is some "usuable" size like 800x600, while you original image may be larger, if it comes from a digital camera for example. As you assume, the problem is the first pair of quotes. The second pair of quotes (-geometry "600x600>" ) is needed, because without quotes, the > character would mean an "output redirection" for the operating system. So, th 600x600> must be in quotes. You CAN try this: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_22/forum/general/error_while_uploading_an_image_problem_solution , but I guess, that this will always give your very large image variations. Also see this bug report http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/bug_reports/convert_command_with_custom_parameters_fails, which describes your problem and notes some Variable ConvertParameters.... but i don't know, if this was introduced yet. Note: Version 3.3 has a new image system... but i did not test this yet! Maybe you want to have a look at the beta 1 release. Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

hi
I use convert. that does fine when setting this in the image.ini.append:
ConvertExecutable=convert

now when I try any parameter, e.g. for creating a border like this:
ConvertExecutable=convert -border 1

I get the following error:

Failed executing: "/usr/local/bin/convert -border 1" -geometry "600x600>" var/porsche/storage/reference/image//php4RKn3Z.jpg jpg:var/porsche/storage/variations/image/p/h/p//php4RKn3Z_600x600_282.jpg, Err: , Ret: 127

any idea about that? when I do the same (a simple convert -border 1 to any image) on the command line, the conversion works fine.

the two " " cause the failure. where and why are they set? also, the foto is not in ./reference/image but in ./original/image
maybe the upload did not work correct because of the " "? :-)

setting the image.ini.append back to
ConvertExecutable=convert

you can see at least the correct convert call:

Failed executing: /usr/local/bin/convert -geometry "600x600>" var/pors......

(error still occurs because the image is missing in that directory)

maybe it´s a php issue? system info:

Hi Alex,
when you upload images, the original is stored in var/original/image. At the same time, a "reference image" of this images is create in var/reference/image. This usually is some "usuable" size like 800x600, while you original image may be larger, if it comes from a digital camera for example.
As you assume, the problem is the first pair of quotes. The second pair of quotes (-geometry "600x600>" ) is needed, because without quotes, the > character would mean an "output redirection" for the operating system. So, th 600x600> must be in quotes.
