[TYPO3-english] ImageMagick is NOT working on my TYPO3

[Guan Ming]

Hello, Everyone

Recently, I have found that the "ImageMagick" (6.4.8) is not working for my
TYPO3 CMS application, although it has been detected by Typo3 under
"/usr/bin/" path.

Initially, I thought it could be typo3's problem, however, even I did some
freshly installation of typo3 (4.3.5, 4.4.0, 4.5.15) for testing purposes,
it still gives the same problem. (not able to scaling/resizing, merging,
converting images)

So, I am wondering it could possible be the ImageMagick's problem...and I
sent the request for checking IM to the Server Technician, wish they could
get back to me soon. (just receive email, said to change path to
"/usr/bin/convert",
but not working)

BTW, the behaviour is very weird. I have four typo3 web application
installed

*-  4.4.5 (Busy-Noggin Quicksite with tv-Framework)  *

   -       Reading image format all working => but just found that "PCX,
   TGA, PDF, AI" suddenly not working
   -       GD function all working
   -       Others IM function (write, combine, scale) all NOT working
   -       Command: ( *'/usr/bin/convert'*    HAS single-quote for jpg,
   gif, png,tif, bmp)
   -       Command: ( *'/usr/bin/identify'* * for image format PCX, TGA,
   PDF, AI*
   -       Even I purposely set the wrong IM path, the jpg, gif, png, tif,
   bmp, reading is all right, (could it be from the image cache ??)


*-  4.5.15 (Busy-Noggin Quicksite with tv Framework,  upgrade from 4.4.x)*

   -       All the same problem as 4.4.5, except command:  */usr/bin/convert
   *and */usr/bin/identify*   has NO single-quote


*-  4.4.0 (Busy-Noggin Quicksite with tv-framework)*

   -      *All working* (could the image from the cache?)
   -      Use */usr/bin/convert*  for image reading of PCX, TGA, PDF, AI
    has NO single-quote)


*-  4.1.6 (official source+ tummy)*

   -      All working except PDF and AI format,  because they are the only
   two using command */usr/bin/identify*  (NO single-quotes)


*-  Refresh install of 4.3.5 (official), 4.4.0 (BN-Quicksite), and 4.5.15
(BN-Quicksite) for testing purpose*

   - *      All not working*
   - Noticed that  */usr/bin/identify *also exist in fresh-installed 4.4.0
   (BN-Quicksite)


Sort of complicated, but since fresh-install of TYPO3 also doesn't work,
likely Server side got some issue.

I also use following php script to check if server has exec() enabled, and
it is positive

*if(function_exists('exec')) {*
*    echo "exec is enabled on this server"."<br />";*
*}*
