Hello, I've been trying to debug invoking my gimp plug-in from an apache module for past 3 days without much success. I'm sure others tried the same, but Google didn't help much in finding these gems, so far. So maybe a fresh pair of eyeballs may have other ideas ... Ok, basically, I have a python-based GIMP plug-in which runs Ok when invoked from command-line. But when called from apache (from a python-based apache plugin/module), for some reason the command: gimp --no-interface --batch='(python-fu-pdf2jpg RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/path/to/image/to/proces.pdf" )' --batch='(gimp-quit 1)' doesn't get executed. Or it does but fails silently - which is not very helpful here !! For testing, I've set the permissions of the OUTPUT directory to 'www-data' (apache user) and '777' (open to universe) but still got no output from the GIMP plug-in in this directory. ... though I got debugging files written by the apache module, so I know apache can write can write files in this directory at run-time. But nothing from the Gimp module ... Actually I don't get ANY error message from GIMP in any of my /var/log files But once again, if I run that Gimp command from the command line (bash), it runs Ok !! This would suggest a permissions problem, but I'm not sure. I wonder: does Gimp need to write to the user home directory by any chance? In that case, 'www-data' (the apache user) doesn't have a home directory per se. So after 3 days of trying different options and digging the Web, I'm a little out of 'debug tricks' right now. If anyone knows why Gimp keeps silent or knows of a mailing list thread which discusses this topic (i.e. Gimp web invocation), I would very much appreciate it.
