[Typo3] ImageMagick - Quick Question

[Mark Kuiphuis]

You need to edit the localconf.php variable and add the following entry

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['im_path'] = '/usr/bin/';

At least that worked for me..

Be sure you have the right path after the = sign where IM can be found.

Kind regards,
Mark
