Image::Magick and Movable Type

2004-02-03 Thread Jon Wood
Does anyone know of a way to get Movable Type to detect that
Image::Magick is installed? 

I've installed the perlmagick package, but MT still refuses to believe
it's there, which is stopping me from making funky thumbnails for images
I upload.

When replying, please bare in mind that I know next to nothing about
Perl - I couldn't even work out how to use CPAN under Debian.

It's a little fiddly to get working the first time round, but it seems
to be working ok now.

Check http://www.jellybob.co.uk/Computers/Linux (I think, could just be
somewhere in the computers section), where I dumped a link to the howto
I used to get things working.

Sorry if someone's already suggested this - I'm catching up with e-mail after
not having a connection for the weekend.

Could you set up the old server so that any requests to it are forwarded to the
new one... not sure on the technical requirements for that, but it would seem
to work from here.

There definately is, since we're using it here on a Windows based network... I'm
not sure if it comes with anything other than the Small Business Server version
of 2k server though.

You're probably looking in the wrong place for this sort of help - you
might get lucky and find somebody who's feeling generous, but this list
isn't for user support of anything, never mind Yahoo's service.

You'd be best having a look on the help pages at Yahoo to see if you can
find a technical support address there.

No - hence not being able to help much.

This is hideously OT, but you caught me in completely the wrong frame of
mind... I was just reading an article on Slashdot about practical jokes
to play on people with their computers, and then this comes in about
randomly dropping packets.

I looked into this recently, and as far as I can tell, you'll need some
sort of mailing list manager in place to do that, although I may be

Wouldn't it make more sense just to leave root in passwd, and everything
else runs from ldap? (Except possibly the openldap user... nasty

I'm using unstable on my desktop (with a few tweaks of my own... I'm
also running 2.6.0-test2 as my kernel... mmm... speedy), and I've had no
problems at all with it other than the odd package which is listed in
Synaptic but has no installation candidates.

Can't help you there, I'm a Gnome user. (But the version of Gnome in

I'm afraid I can't help you with your problem, but it sounds like an
interesting idea - would you mind going into more depth about what
you're doing with APT? (btw, debian-user is probably a more suitable
list for this... I'm not sure it has much relevance to the usage of
Debian for ISPs.

You could probably grep for partial content headers, and not include
