Then it is strange.

Look at var/log/error.log is it reporting something suspicious, maybe some problems with apache user rights on filesystem, or something similar

Hi Arnaud,
thanks for your reply. Yes, I checked all read/write access rights on my var/ directory, and yes ImageMagick was/is enabled (sorry, copied the version where I disabled ImageMagick so as to go ahead with something else).

I receive the following error in my logs:

[ Dec 15 2008 14:16:58 ] [::1] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:
Failed converting var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/company/news/lyon-puts-europe-at-your-doorstep/913-1-eng-GB/Lyon-puts-Europe-at-your-doorstep.jpg to alias 'articlethumbnail' in directory 'var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/company/news/lyon-puts-europe-at-your-doorstep/913-1-eng-GB'

I checked the other Forum entries, tried different path settings in override image ini, but nothing seems to work.

Any other idea? Thanks for your help
Anita

Anita,

Afaik you should have the complete convert shell command just after the log you gave us. Running this command at the root of your ezpublish installation will give you more information.

Looking for information about SQLI ?

Hi Tero,
that was a good hint. Thanks a lot, it works now. What I did:

in image.ini:
as I'm working on Mac I made sure that the executable name line for Mac was enabled:
# Name of the executable
# Executable=convert
# Name of the executable for windows,
# uncomment ExecutableMac for Mac specific converter and
# ExecutableUnix for Unix/Linux specific converter
ExecutableMac=convert

in php.ini:
I added the following line, although safe mode was off:
; When safe_mode is on, only executables located in the safe_mode_exec_dir
; will be allowed to be executed via the exec family of functions.
safe_mode_exec_dir =/opt/local/bin/

wherby /opt/local/bin is the directory where ImageMagick is installed.
And now it works.

Thanks a lot. Highly appreciated your help.
Cheers
Anita

SOLVED with this workaround in lib/ezimage/classes/ezimageshellhandler.php

changed

<i>system( $systemString, $returnCode );

if ( $returnCode == 0 )
{
if ( !file_exists( $destinationMimeData['url'] ) )
{
eZDebug::writeError( 'Unknown destination file: ' . $destinationMimeData['url'] . " when executing '$systemString'", 'eZImageShellHandler(' . $this->HandlerName . ')' );
return false;
}
$this->changeFilePermissions( $destinationMimeData['url'] );
return true;
}
else
{
eZDebug::writeWarning( "Failed executing: $systemString, Error code: $returnCode", 'eZImageShellHandler::convert' );
return false;
}</i>

with the following code

<i>exec( $systemString, $returnCode );

if ( $returnCode == 0 || $returnCode == null || count($returnCode)==0)
{
if ( !file_exists( $destinationMimeData['url'] ) )
{
eZDebug::writeError( 'Unknown destination file: ' . $destinationMimeData['url'] . " when executing '$systemString'", 'eZImageShellHandler(' . $this->HandlerName . ')' );
return false;
}
$this->changeFilePermissions( $destinationMimeData['url'] );
return true;
}
else
{
$returnCodeStr = implode( ' ', $returnCode);
eZDebug::writeWarning( "Failed executing: $systemString, Error code: $returnCodeStr", 'eZImageShellHandler::convert' );
return false;
}</i>
