Re the subdomains, I believe you may need to symbolic link the php binary to the cgi-bin. There should be info on how to do that on the install PHP5 page of the dreamhost wiki <a href="http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Installing_PHP5#Instructions_To_Add_More_Domains" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Hope that helps. No problem.

I have installed it successfully now. Just one thing, when installing custom php under a domain.tld, will it also be applicable on it's subdomain like subdomain.domain.tld? Or do I need to install a custom php under the subdomain and how to do it? Thank You Thank you for this. I have installed it successfully now.

Is your MagickWand-config & Wand-config files inside <code>~/local/bin</code>? If they are I'm not sure what is going on. I'm no expert on Unix systems, these scripts/commands are just the ones that worked for me on Dreamhost's systems. That error would say to me that imagemagick isn’t in the location you have set.

The lowest binary I can find is 5.2.12 so all you need to do is change: [bash] PHP5="php-5.2.5" [/bash] to [bash] PHP5="php-5.2.12" [/bash] and you should be okay. Hope that helps. Hi,

You will need to adjust it if your path is different. It's kind of a misnomer, but according to the documentation that is the config option you need to change if imagemagick is installed at a path other than the default system path. If that doesn't work or the install paths are the same, I'm not sure? I've always found it works okay if you keep the -with--imagick option the same as the prefix used when installing imagemagick.

This leads me to ask another question, I did install a current version as per your instructions above, but it seems my install is not getting picked up, how do I point imagick to my local version?

I am, however, experiencing a problem converting .pdf files into images. I'm assuming this has to do with Ghostscript. I have checked the version on DH and they are using 6.2, which should at least work with the current build, however when I try to load a pdf for conversion I get errors. Is there something I need to do to point imagick to the gs? Does imagick require a more recent version of GS?
