Summary: Installer makes bad choice regarding ImageMagick
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jarry1...@gmail.com
CC: innocentkil...@gmail.com
Having used the new installer, I found that my wiki had no thumbnails. Making
/images/ writeable was half the problem, but then I also had to remove the
following from my LocalSettings.php:
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
I'm running an Apache instance on a Windows 7 laptop; I am pretty sure I don't
have any form of ImageMagick installed on this particular laptop. The original
install log read:
* Found GD graphics library built-in.
Image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads.
Evidently, it is either that the installer made a bad guess that I had IM, or
it was expecting a gracious fall-back to non-IM methods, neither of which it
got.
That's my take on things, anyway.
(n.b. I had to set
$wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse = true; for reasons of convencience when testing
this.)
