Having problems under Windows/IIS? Read this...

Ok folks, I messed around with the Image module for hours last night with no success. I eventually gave up, went to bed, and came at it with a fresh head - and cracked it!

Instructions -

1. Install as per the installation file

2. Make these folders in your website

images/
images/thumbs

Set the permissions of each folder to Everyone - full control and inherit

3. Under the System control Panel, Advanced tab, Environment variables button find the PATH variable and check to see that you have your ImageMagick path in it.

I.e. C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-5.5.6-Q16 (or whereever you installed it to).

4. Drop to a command line and type convert [return] to test that it works. If not, google for some help on modifying your PATH variable under Windows.

5. In the Imagemagick Convert path just put "convert" (sans quotes).

6. And the final step - and probably the one you haven't tried if you're reading this - is to find the cmd.exe in c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system32 and set its permissions to allow the Internet users ("Web Anonymous Users" user and "Web Applications" user) read and read & execute permissions! (IISLockdown changes these permissions to deny!).

Hope that helps!
