"No ImageMagick installation available"

[sven_sim]

While configuring the Typo3 CMS from it's Admin area, you may see the above message in :

Typo3 admin >> Install tool >> Basic configuration >> Check Image Magick

"No ImageMagick installation available"

even if the ImageMagick is installed on the server.


Basically it's due to the reason that function 'escapeshellarg' ( exec() ) is disabled on the server (in "disable_functions" in server's main php.ini )
and Typo3 requires some functions as exec() for ImageMagick .

One of the solutions is to remove the entry of 'escapeshellarg' from the "disable_functions" , then the above message would disappear and will confirm that ImageMagick is installed .


PS : It's not recommended to enable any functions (in disable_functions) such as 'escapeshellarg' on the entire server as it may cause the server to be vulnerable to hacking attempts. You can only enable it for a single account that requires such functions by copying the server's default php.ini file to that account's public_html.
