Imagick on Amazon AWS: installed but does not work [resolved]

[TonyParticipant]

Hi Robin,

I am preparing to install Symbiostock on an EC2 instance at Amazon AWS. It is an Amazon Linux server with Apache and PHP 7.2 installed.

There are also:
– ImageMagick.x86_64 v6.7.8-9 (2020-02-13),
– php-pecl-imagick.x86_64 v3.4.4-1.amzn2.0.1.

If I enter php -m, I see that imagick extension is installed.

However, phpinfo() does not show any information about imagick extension.
I also tried to run a test PHP code which tries to create an image, but got an error message – “Class ‘Imagick’ not found”.

What am I doing wrong?

I have already solved the problem.

Having looked at the *.so files (PHP extensions) in /usr/lib64/php/modules/, I noticed that access rights for them all except imagick.so were 755, and imagick.so had 644. That is, nobody was allowed to run this file.

I changed the access rights for imagick.so to 755, then restarted httpd and php:
sudo service httpd restart
sudo service php-fpm restart

After that, imagick started working and appeared in phpinfo() extensions list.
