Installing ImageMagick on a centos vps

Unfortunately installing imagemagick can cause some issues

If you get the message "Error: Missing Dependency: udev >= 089-1 is needed by package hal"

DO NOT INSTALL UDEV, udev is known to cause problems with deleting entries in /dev, instead you can install from source

yum install make

wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.4.0-9.tar.gz

tar xvfz ImageMagick-6.4.0-9.tar.gz

cd ImageMagick-6.4.0-9/

./configure && make && make install


Ubuntu Image will not start apache2

After installing the ubuntu image in the value vps you may want to install apache2, however it may not start, if it doesn't check /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you see apr_thread_create: unable to create worker thread

add the following to /etc/apache/httpd.conf

ThreadStackSize 1000000

Then restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This limits the size of threads to 1Mb and creates a much less memory intensive apache.

To install a crt in LxAdmin, you must first remove the password
