Installing or upgrading ImageMagick on a cpanel based server is a fairly quick task and does not require an apache recompile.
The easyApache installer included in WHM does not incude ImageMagick as an additional install option in PHP.
Follow the below steps to have a working imagemagick install.
- Downolad ImageMagic 6.3.8. onto your server by issuing the command
You can use the latest version available from http://www.imagemagick.org
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.3.9-8.zip
- Issue the command
unzip ImageMagick-6.3.9-8.zip
- Enter the directory by issuing the command
cd ImageMagick-6.3.9-8
- Issue the command
./configure
- Issue the command
make install
This process may take a few minutes.
When complete move on
- The new versions of WHM have utility to tie the install to your php install.
Log into WHM > Software > Module Installers >> PHP Pecl and install imagick
You should now be good to go, and have a working install of imagemagick with your cpanel server.
