This tutorial will give you a little step by step manual of how to upgrade and properly install ImageMagick on you cPanel server without having to manually compile Apache
Firstly we need to talke notice that the new easyApache version 3 does not incude ImageMagick as an additional install option in PHP, so here are the steps we performed to get that magic wand happening again.
1/ downolad ImageMagic 6.3.8. onto your server by using
the default should be fine , but you can always check other options here Install-unix.txt
anyways, default install is simple
./configure
make install
Both of the commands can take a little while , but either way this should have installed ImageMagick 6.3.8 now. And now to finish the process
cd PerlMagick/
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
BUT HOLD ON, this is not it yet!
We need to get it locked into PHP !
The new WHM has a fantastic utility to complete the task.
Log into WHM >> Software >> Module Installers >> PHP Pecl and install imagickto get the whole thing binding into PHP and making your applications gell ! :)
Below you can find a pic in WHM
That should be it, if by any chance you hot a problem with a 64 bit OS and WHM can not find imagick then install it manually, by following the steps below
