I have a php script, which downloads, rescales and stores an image using the following command:\[code\]exec('convert -sample 100x100 http://someurl.com/pic.jpg images/somename.jpg');\[/code\]It all worked fine until I put it on a different server (this one's gentoo, if that makes any difference. Apparently convert won't grab remote images, and if I feed it a url like above it returns
\[code\]convert: missing an image filename 'images/somename.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2822.\[/code\]I checked the use flags but nothing seems to relate to remote images...The new server is a local machine which I have root access to, so I can pretty much do whatever on it - so how can I make this work?Another possibly related issue is that php's file_get_contents() won't get remote files from there either. Maybe it's a system-wide setting somewhere preventing binaries from getting remote files? Has anyone had an issue like this before? How did you solve it?Thanks,
MalaUpdate: To clarify
This problem (imagemagick) has nothing to do with PHP. It's on my laptop which can access the internet just fine, and is not related to firewalls. If I open up a shell and type
\[code\]convert -sample 100x100 http://someurl.com/pic.jpg images/somename.jpg\[/code\]
it fails with the above error without even trying to access the internet. 'wget' on the other hand, as well as web-browsers etc work just fine. On other systems, the convert command when typed into a shell works with no errors.Please disregard the file_get_contents problem as I believe it is not related for the reasons above
