image server

Been looking at an image server running at school, am looking at using piwigo as the gallery base.

This will be running on a ubuntu server.

ImageMagick is an open source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster image files. It can read and write over 200 image file formats (for a full list of formats supported, one could execute: identify -list format). ImageMagick is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Here comes the small tutorial which tell you how to install imagemagick for PHP in Ubuntu or Debian.

Run the following command from putty or box shell of your server.

sudo apt-get install imagemagick --fix-missing

and then run the following command to install imagemagick for php

sudo apt-get install php5-imagick

Finally you need to restart your web-server, if you are using Apache, run the following command

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

If you are using PHP-FPM instead of Apache2 then restart it by following command

sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

ImageMagick is installed in your server os and will now be able to run on PHP as well.
