Anybody installed ImageMagick on WL500-g?

[ikerstges]

Hiall,

I'm getting totally excited with the possibilities of this router! I have never ever entered a single keystroke of LINUX commands, so basically I'm following step-by-step the instructions to get my router geared up. So far, I managed to perform Macsat's howto's:
+ ipkg package system,
+ Olegs firmware SSH Server,
+ thttpd Web Server,
+ vsftpd Installation and Setup,

On Oleg's 1.9.2.7-7b. (BIG thumbsup to Macsat and Oleg and their crew!!!!)

I have my 'under construction' page running and I want to replace that asap with a nice image-gallery. I'm considering to use Gallery 1.5.2 (preferred) or maybe Simple Picture Gallery Manager 1.4.4.

I've checked phpinfo of the thttpd webserver, it reports PHP Version 5.0.4. Any decent image gallery will allow thumbnail resizing using image processing libraries like ImageMagick or NetPBM (or GD) but these seem to be missing on the router (according phpinfo). Is this a matter of editing the php.ini file, or do I first need to install a package?

Here, I'm hitting my limitations: I don't know how to search ipkg packages, let alone install any of such image processing libraries myself!

I prefer to have ImageMagick on my wl500g IF possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!? (I've searched this forum on ImageMagick, but this turns up only 1 hit, so I have my fingers crossed here )

It is possible. I've personally prepared imagemagick ipkg for wl500g. Please report us how gallery works on wl500g. From my experience, speed of PHP programs on wl500g is not acceptable for many APPs.

Hi oleo,

Good to see that ImageMagick is available in ipkg.. Is this only a matter of running:

/opt/bin/ipkg install imagemagick < enter >

And update the php.ini

Or do I need to consider more to get this image processing library available on the wl500g??

Except for libtiff and X11 stuff all should work as expected. Of course
Depends: zlib, libjpeg, libpng, libtool, bzip2
will be installed at imagemagick request!

I am really curious about Gallery report!

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, Gallery does not support PHP5, but as said: I'm not sure...

Also, generating thumbnails on a PIII requires quite some time. Guess it will be very sloooooow on the WL-500g.

There are no technical difficulties with gallery 1.5 except the speed. And I think, that it can be configured in such way that no user resize is available. Resizing for thumbnails is not a big deal. An if this will be dedidated picture server it can also be shadowed by busybox_http wich is much faster than thttpd. But shadowing scripts for static html pages should be written and then use thttp just for administration!

See http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/...n_Offline_Copy for such use.
