Hi,

thanks, Bernd, for your advice. Unfotunately it didn't help.
Here's more information and what I did (w/o success):

Strato.de Webhosting-Paket "Premium S", meaning:
Safemode ist Off
My first accessible directory is   
/home/strato/http/premium/web6/32/06/51046706/htdocs/
Here is the old website dgfm-ev.de, starting with index.php3 = static  
html. - all ok

For CMS/Typo3 I prepared a new directory: /cms
and a new subdomain: cms.dgfm-ev.de, which links to  /cms
So on http to cms.dgfm-ev.de the index.php is correctly loaded.

Path for ImageMagick:

First I put it to a directory without capitals: "im"
Then I set the search path in the T3 Install Tool like given there:
/home/strato/http/premium/web6/32/06/51046706/htdocs/cms/im/bin/  -> no  
success
Then according to Strato's advice:
/home/strato/www/dg/www.dgfm-ev.de/htdocs/cms/im/bin/  -> no success

First tries were ImageMagick-sparc-sun-solaris2.10.tar.gz .
Next with another IM-version:  imagemagick-4.2.9_i386-static-3.tar.tar ->  
no success
Renaming the *.bin to * (without .bin) -> no success

Entering directly in Typo3-Install / All configuration  -> no success

Executable-Rightsfor the binaries:
first of all they were already set (755), second "chmod +x" did no better.

$ id
uid=123456 gid=1101(customer)
$ ls -l
total 4532
-rwxr-xr-x    1 123456   customer  1537068 Jan 23  2004 combine
-rwxr-xr-x    1 123456   customer  1550572 Jan 23  2004 convert
-rwxr-xr-x    1 123456   customer  1528300 Jan 23  2004 identify
-rwxr-xr-x    1 123456   customer      531 May 17  2004 wrapper.sh

php_admin_value open_basedir -> doesn't work in .htaccess nor php nor  
shell,
(doing this in .htaccess leads to Server Error, so I am not allowed to)

echo $PATH says: "/bin"
(Idea: Would it help to copy the IM-bin-directory to "my root" \htdocs\?)

Shell: "./convert" says: "command not found"
Question: Is it possible the provider disallow foreing executables at all?

Modifikation of \typo3\sysext\install\mod\class.tx_install.php:
Commenting line 1804
"# if (ini_get('open_basedir') ||  
(@file_exists($v)&&@is_file($v.$filename.$isExt))) {"
and line 1814 "# }"
--> no success

The - by the way helpful - manual of tanmar doesn't help either.

In different postings here, at http://www.typo3.net/forum/ and  
http://www.typo3forum.net/ I found quite different opinions:
Some say, Strato doesn#t support Typo3 anyway, or only on root-Servers,  
others succeed, ... others got Typo3 to run but only without IM ...

I asked Strato, the answer will come, I'll tell you then...
So far I am still thankful for help

Dietmar
