imagickException: Postscript delegate failed imagick IIS

Question

I'm using theses line to convert a pdf to a jpg:

$img = new imagick($url.'[0]');
$im->setImageColorspace(255);
$im->setCompressionQuality(95);
$im->setImageFormat('jpeg');

I have install imagick 3.1.0RC2 with the soft ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2012-06-27 Q16 (x86). I also have a x86 PHP 5.4.22 non thread and I'm using IIS 8 on a windows server 2012. The php_imagick.dll is for 5.14 nts so it should work. The ghostscript version is gs9.10, I installed 32 and 64 bits. it is working perfectly with the msdos command line but no with PHP.

and then I got this error when I create the object.

ImagickException: Postscript delegate failed `D:\inetpub\website\sites\default\files\image_2.pdf': No such file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/677 in Imagick->__construct()

is it an environment variables problem ? I've got the imagick folder and the bin folder of ghostscript as windows environment variable.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Answer 1

I finally found out the answer! The problem is the temporary folder of windows (c:\windows\temp) (your upload_tmp_dir in php.ini) has to be read and write for the user IUSR or IIS_IUSRS (depending of your IIS version) Thank you guys for your help

That seems to indicate that imagick can't find the ghostscript executable.

Ensure that the GS executable is in the relevant PATH:

<?php
phpinfo(INFO_ENVIRONMENT);
?>

...search that page for PATH.

If it's not there, add it in whichever script(s) needs it:

<?php
putenv(getenv('PATH').':path/to/ghostscript/executable')
?>
