Running PHP Version 5.2.5 on Windows Server 2003 with IIS.
Have virtually an identical server where we were able to install ImageMagick with no issues. It's running exactly the same version of php. Used the following steps to install, but it just won't seem to work on this server. ImageMagick itself is installed but php won't load the extension.
We've spent hours trying to get the extension installed. It just won't show up in phpinfo().
INSTALL STEPS TAKEN*
To install IMagick on windows xp (php 5.2.x)
1.) download and install ImageMagick-6.5.8-7 Q16-windows-dll.exe http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ ImageMagick-6.5.8-7-Q16-windows-dll.exe
2.) download php_imagick_dyn-Q16.dll from: http://valokuva.org/outside-blog-content/ imagick-windows-builds/080709/
copy dll to [PHP]/extension dir and rename it to php_imagick.dll
3.) You have to edit your php.ini file and add new extension
"extension=php_imagick.dll"
4.) Save ini file and restart apache server.
(If necessary, restart your windows)
5.) phpinfo() should show imagick enabled.
