How to enable Image Magick?

[Cryppptic]

Hey guys.

I installed Image Magick on my dedicated box to make animated GIFs work on our forums. How is it enabled though and put it action? I can't seem to understand this?

Thanks in advance.

In addition to installing ImageMagick, you also need to install (or compile if using OLS/LiteSpeed) the PECL for the PHP for it.

Thank you!

And for someone who isn't familiar with terms but usually can figure out with a simple instruction, how would you go about doing that?

 

[m1ne]

yum install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-perl

pecl install imagick

echo extension=imagick.so >> /etc/php.ini

service httpd restart

Assuming CentOS.

Ubuntu.

apt-get -y install php5-imagick

Thank you!

Do I have to clear any caches or refresh anything else to get it to work, by the way? Or add anything else to integrate it with XenForo?

EDIT: Thanks, read the link. I've been trying to find a tutorial but didn't. Thanks!

EDIT2: A little question, just before I'm done. For some reason avatars can't be greater than 50kb, and I've been looking for ages for that config to change it, where is it?

service php5-fpm restart will probably be needed.

Thank you very much, it works brilliantly. Can mark as resolved or whatever.
