Install Steps taken

ImageMagick installation

Where to download latest ImageMagic compatible with IIS 8.1 / Windows 2012r2 php x64:

http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/

navigate and download: ImageMagick-6.8.8-vc9-x86.zip for PHP 32-bit, 5.4.xx

ImageMagick-6.8.8-vc11-x86.zip for PHP 32-bit, 5.5.xx

ImageMagick-6.8.8-vc11-x64.zip for PHP 64-bit, 5.5.xx

Tips:

• Overwrite the DLLs found from ImageMagick 6.8.8 Windows version with the PHP version.

• You need to reboot if files are locked in memory.

php_imageMagick.dll location

http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/

download the appropriate DLLs.

You get latest version of ImageMagick DLLs, php_imagemagick.dll (both non-thread-safe and thread-safe versions).

Tip:

• If you get php5ts.dll missing, you downloaded the wrong version of php_imagemagic.dll and download other version.

• if you are using IIS - use 'NTS' version - php_imagemagick_nts.dll

• if you are using Apache - use 'TS' version - php_imagemagick_ts.dll
