1: Photo Album

I'm getting this error when I try to upload a photo into an album.

couldn't execute "/usr/local/bin/identify": permission denied
    while executing
"exec [ad_parameter ImageMagickPath]/identify $filename"
    (procedure "pa_image_width_height" line 2)
    invoked from within
"pa_image_width_height $tmp_filename "base_width" "base_height""
    ("uplevel" body line 76)
    invoked from within
"uplevel {
    	  # /packages/photo-album/www/photo-add-2.tcl

ad_page_contract {
    adds a photo to an album

    @author bags@arsdigita.com
    @cre..."
    (procedure "code::tcl::/home/tmizukami/web/openpharma/packages/photo-alb..." line 2)
    invoked from within

I'm running on RH 7.3, OACS 4.6, and ImageMagick 5.5.4 was built from sources Thanks for any help

Off the top of my head, I'd say either identify isn't in /usr/local/bin, in which case you need to change the ImageMagickPath package parameter, or your user doesn't have permission to run it in which case you need to fix it's permissions.

Post again if you need more explicit directions on how to do either of these things.

Only 6 minutes this time, by my clock! :)

Ok, it was 6 minutes from when the message landed in my inbox, anyway. :) I forgot that notifications sends things out in batches.

Thanks, stupid mistake.

The first time I tried photo album I did not have ImageMagick installed properly so I got a file or dirctory missing error so I made a directory named identify, which of course didn't help. Then when I installed IM it placed the identify application inside of the identify directory I had previously made. Anyway, it works now, thanks.

FYI, Jeff Davis has an improved Photo Album which can be downloaded from this page:

http://xarg.net/code/

It includes a slick clipboard functionality where any registered user can save their favorite pics and subsequently order prints online. I believe it only runs on 4.6 and Postgres.

I'm using Jeff's photo album. It's nice. I really like the bulk upload (zip file or tar file). I don't know if the stock photo albums do that.

Yes, how could I forget about that?

It's a great feature that is NOT in the standard distribution I believe.
