Thread: I cannot fidn my php binary and image magic on my windows server

Hello, I just installed image magik, but my install of dolphin does not seem to detect it. I have the same issue with my php-binary, which also seems to be un-detectable. How can I trouble shoot this issue or better yet, solve the problem?

My dedicated host said that apache is installed. how can I confirm this on my windows server?

Thanks

Hi,

Windows is really not recommended for hosting a live site - but reasonable for local development on your desktop.

If you want to find the php binary, you can do a couple of things.

1) Login to Windows (using remote deskop) and do a search for php.exe
or
2) make a phpinfo.php info file, run in your web browser, and check the value for extension_dir = this should give you a hint to the php directory.

Create as phpinfo.php and place in Apache root (http) and call from web browser.

Code:

<php?
phpinfo();
?>

Remember, in the Dolphin install, if php is in "c:\php" you would put in "c:\php\php" as the php path.

ImageMagic - much the same - do a seach from remote desktop for "mogrify.*".

Or, ask your hosting company where these files are.

If you were using linux, it would be very easy - just SSH and run
which php
which mogrify
which convert
which composite
