I have a virtual webhosting account.
Using Phpix 1.0.2
Please take a look at http://www.locationscout.com/phpix/
I tried both IM and GD
In both cases, it won't create thumbnails.
With IM, it can't load the libX11.so.6 which I know it's there but I'm not sure if it's configured properly. :-(
It worked for awhile last year and then it stopped.
With GD, I'm not sure what path to enter in path to convert. According to my ISP I have PHP with GD 1.5 which I was able to verify with php info.
My ISP cihost.com is not too friendly with that sort of stuff. What I really need is a new ISP with all these nice libraries preinstalled. I could bring another 5-10 accounts with me.
The problem with all these nice thumb scripts, I see at SourceForge, is that they depend on these complicated libraries like ImageMagick or PBMplus that most ISPs won't let you run or won't support.
I envy you all who can run webservers from home or office and do whatever you want. That's beyond my skills unfortunately.

Marino, you always have the option of creating the thumbnails yourself and uploading them by hand. As long as they're put up after the original image, it should work fine.
Of course, if you're going to do that, you probably don't need phpix.
Your best bet with imagemagick is to explicity tell it where the X11 library lives (probably /usr/X11R6/lib). Chances are that if it's actually there but imagemagick isn't seeing it, your ISP hasn't added it to the ld.so.conf paths.
The way to do this is by setting the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path to your X11 library path. One thing you might try (I haven't tested to see if this works, but it should) is to set $convert in config.inc like so:

Hope that helps :-)
