Imagick on PHP 5.6 can't read PDF files

[thomasA4N]

On PHP 5.6 Imagick can't read pdf files. It's not working with relative not even absolut path.

Example:

try {
	$im = new imagick();
	$im->setResolution(288,288);
	$im->readimage(realpath('test.pdf')); // relative path also doesn't works
} catch (Exception $e){
	echo $e->getMessage()."<br />\n"; // gets error "Failed to read the file"
}

test.pdf

@thomasA4N can you submit some example code, I will then add it as a regression test here: https://github.com/devilbox/docker-php-fpm

@cytopia i have updated my comment ...

Figured it already, it seems to be the lack of ghostscript. Once your stack is running, can you do the following in the PHP container:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ghostscript -y

This should fix it for now. Will bundle it in the containers in the next release.

Thank you very much. I have tested that, and it's already works now.

Now, I will have to repeat that, after every restart of devilbox, didn't i?

No, when you stop the container, the state will be preserved across restarts until you remove it explicitly (via docker-compose rm or docker rm)

@thomasA4N will be fixed here: #711
