Image magik RPM installation for VPS (Linux)

Check that Imagemagick is not installed via Easyapache3. If you already have ImageMagick installed via rpm, you need to remove it. Find the rpms using the following command.

# rpm -qa |grep -i imagemagick

Remove the rpms in the following order

rpm -e ImageMagick-c++-devel-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1
rpm -e ImageMagick-c++-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1
rpm -e ImageMagick-perl-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1
rpm -e ImageMagick-devel-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1
rpm -e ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1
============================================

Download the ImageMagick using the following

# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.4.3-6.zip
# unzip ImageMagick-6.4.3-6.zip
# cd ImageMagick-6.4.3

Installation

# ./configure
# make install

This may take a while to complete. Finally,

# cd PerlMagick/
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make install

* Add PHP Pecl extension to access ImageMagick via PHP

Login to WHM,

WHM > Software > Module Installers > PHP Pecl

# install imagick

* ImageMagick should be installed now.

If WHM can’t find the ImageMagic installation

Firstly install ImageMagick-devel

# yum -y install ImageMagick-devel

Once that is done, you need to download the Imagick PHP extensions from:

http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick

# cd /usr/local/src/
# wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-2.2.0.tgz
# tar -zxvf imagick-2.2.0 .tgz
# cd imagick-2.2.0
# phpize
# ./configure

# make
# make install

find the php.ini using the command

# php -i |grep php.ini

add the following line to php.ini

# extension="imagick.so"

restart Apache and you are done
