hi.
is imagemagick 6 installed by default on a cpanel 11 server.
if so what is the binary path so i can use it in vbulletin
if it isnt how do i install it

No imagemagick is not by default installed in cpanel11.
Use this command to install imagemagick
/scripts/installimagemagick

after installing imagemagick type the following command:
which convert
should give you the following output
/usr/bin/convert
use this during installation of vbullentin

On 64-bit Centos we had problems with regular ImageMagick install, especially when installing "Pro" extension. That's why I always compile it manually. Here is how I do it:

cd /usr/local/src/
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6*
./configure --prefix=/usr LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib64
make
make install
cd PerlMagick/
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

is imagemagick considered a safe product?

is the installation automatically updated by cpanel?

[anton_latvia]

I think that no, it won't be updated automatically.
