convert function not taking gradient color

[gurupak]

Hi,

I have transferred my site to a new server and installed the latest version of ImageMagick on it (convert --version 6.2.8 ).

After porting site to new server my ImageMagick commands have stopped running on it. Here is the command that i am using from PHP script:

/usr/bin/convert -size 656x153 xc:none -fill 'gradient:#FDFCFC-#E8EAEB' -draw 'roundRectangle 0,0 656,153 15,15' front_plate_1393946806922887979.png

This command was running without any error on old server.

On new server this is the error I am getting now:

[root@localhost httpdocs]# /usr/bin/convert -size 656x153 xc:none -fill 'gradient:#FDFCFC-#E8EAEB' -draw 'roundRectangle 0,0 656,153 15,15' front_plate_1393946806922887979.png

convert: unrecognized color `gradient:#FDFCFC-#E8EAEB'.

Can you please guide me what has gone wrong here now?

Need your help in this regards,
Best regards,

latest version of ImageMagick

That might be the latest version available using cpanel but it is a very old version; the latest version as of today is 6.8.8-7

I would guess your old server had a newer version than your new server.

try moving the quotes

/usr/bin/convert -size 656x153 xc:none -fill gradient:"#FDFCFC-#E8EAEB" -draw 'roundRectangle 0,0 656,153 15,15' front_plate_1393946806922887979.png

I have already checked it by removing quotes. But nothing.

I used the Yum Package manager to install it. This could be the issue.

I downloaded the rpm from ImageMagick site as well, but when i ran the rpm, it gives me dependencies issues. Is this viable to install these dependencies from Yum or should i download them separately to avoid older version installed on it.

Do not remove the quotes. Just put them around the gradient: argument as above
