Policy file location

[wormboyslim]

I am attempting to set policy limits and I need to do this for a whole range of hosts via puppet.

Becasue of this I would like to place the config in a global place that will be honoured regardless of image magick version.

I have some hosts with V6 and some with V7.

I have tried to place the policy.xml file in;

/etc/ImageMagick
/etc/ImageMagick/config
/usr/etc/ImageMagick
/usr/etc/ImageMagick/config
/usr/local/etc/ImageMagick
/usr/local/etc/ImageMagick/config

And none of these appear to work.

The following directory does exist, and has a blank policy that I have moved out of the way for now

/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.5.4/config

If I place my policy here then everything works.

My problem is I need a version-agnostic directory to put these config files in.

I am using binary packages on CentOS 6, I assume this may simply be because they built the packages without version-agnostic config directories? I'm sure this is meant to be allowed to work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Type this command:

• convert -debug configure logo: null:

ImageMagick looks for the policy file in the same location as its search for magic.xml. You should be able to place policy.xml in any of the folders listed with the debugging from the above command. To verify type

• convert -list policy

to ensure its finding the expected policy file and that the configuration is as expected.

Thanks, that does show me the paths that I can use.

Unfortunately it also confirms that CentOS/RedHat have set their packages up to only look at versioned directories.

I won't say what I think should be done to them.
