Failed to perform ImageMagick transformation

Hi All,My first installation & here comes the next hurdle!So now I'v got as far as installing Alfresco Community 2.1 ( alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.tar.gz) onto a CentOS-5 box, along with mysql-5.0.22-2.1; jre-1.6.0_03 & ImageMagick-6.3.6-1.src.rpm.I run '/opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh star

Update:

I have back stepped a bit & changed the database from MySQL back to HSQL by commenting out the MySQL section & un-commenting the HSQL section in the following files:

/opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties
&
/opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties

Et voila' Alfresco is working.
So there has to be something I am missing when trying to use MySQL…

Any thoughts?
TIA
Danny

1) change the hibernate file and the context files to use mySql (See Wiki & help files).
2) Delete the contents of the data folders
3) Run the DB scripts to delete the table spaces for mysql (extras).
4) Run the DB scripts to create the table spaces (extras).

5) make sure the data and index folders are configured.
6) make sure the db name and password are uncommented out in the configuration and both are "alfresco"

Reboot server and try again. If that doesn't work, unpack alfresco from scratch…make sure you do all of the above steps and any other steps documented anywhere..and try again.

BTW the dump in your first post shows that it was not trying to use MySql, which means you did not correctly apply one of the configurations mentioned above, in the wiki or in the help file.

22:35:58,691 INFO [org.alfresco.repo.domain.schema.SchemaBootstrap] Alfresco is using the HSQL default database. Please only use this while evaluating Alfresco, it is NOT recommended for production or deployment!
