PHP ImagickException: not authorized

Question

Any ideas how to fix this ?

 ImagickException: not authorized `/tmp/magick-1552lvf2nIjaqx1W' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/412

I thought it was a permission issue so just to test it out i set my /tmp dir to 777. No change. Its driving me crazy.

The command :

<?php


$image = new \Imagick();
$image->readImageBlob('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>' . $graph);

Pasting your command may give an insight - have you been able to get Imagick to work at all? Depending on your server the CHMOD could be 755 — Bonzo, Jun 02 '16 at 18:53
Have you tried setting and exporting the environment variable `MAGICK_TMPDIR` to someplace else where your script/CGI/program can write? — Mark Setchell, Jun 02 '16 at 18:55
It might be your policy.xml having something in the ```````` that [accidentally?] includes that file type as a matched pattern. — kb., Jun 02 '16 at 19:02
I tried 775 ,and changing the location: still having issues. — LukePOLO, Jun 02 '16 at 19:04

I have followed the below Steps to fix the Fatal error:

Uncaught ImagickException: not authorized `../../c02_001.pdf'
@ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/412

sudo vi policy.xml from etc/Imagemagick-6/

comment the following line

<!-- <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="MVG" /> -->

Rewrite the following line

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />

to

<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

sudo apt-get install inkscape
Restart apache with following command sudo restart apache2

If you're using php-fpm, use `sudo service php7.2-fpm restart` (or your version of PHP) instead of restarting apache. – Sam Sehnert Oct 17 '18 at 20:54
thank you. I did use vim for this change. Not nano obviously! #realCoder – Brainmaniac Nov 28 '18 at 07:18
why step 4 `sudo apt-get install inkscape`? Everything works without it. Thanks, you saved my day too! – cronfy Feb 10 '21 at 08:40
5. sudo service apache2 restart – Jimit Shah Jun 19 '21 at 07:23

Your policy "MVG" could be the reason. Just comment

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="MVG" />

in /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml and restart Apache server.

you can run `locate policy.xm` to find the file in case the location differs. Then do the replace: `sudo sed -i -e 's/rights="none" pattern="PDF"/rights="read|write" pattern="PDF"/' /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml`, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/52677573/367456 below as well. – hakre Oct 17 '18 at 13:58
And what about NGINX ? – KSPR May 22 '19 at 08:15
@kspr - for nginx you would restart php-fpm - with apache the php runtime is loaded as a module, for nginx (and other web servers) it's the seperate fastcgi version of php – DorianFM Feb 03 '21 at 11:48

i hope this solution will help you I'm facing the same issue and I'm on the live server i'm trying to follow above Mikel Annjuk and hakre answer so i cannot the change the file /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml so i contact to the server provider to edit file and send this url to follow step but there is answering me

" I am still working on this. The solution given in above link requires root access to the server which is not possible in a shared server. But imagick is related to php. So let me try changing php version and see if that helps"

when i tired to resolve this on that time i have idea may be the issue of the file path where I'm saving the file so I change to base path to FCPATH and the matter is solved. i'm using Codeigniter base_url() to php FCPATH this is the point to solve this issue

but on svg converter show "no decode delegate" issue

add the following lines in the start of file or code

like this

$usmap = file_get_contents(base_url('convert/plus.svg')); 
     $find_string   = '<svg';
$position = strpos($usmap, $find_string);

   $svg_file_new ='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>'.substr($usmap, $position).'</svg>';
       file_put_contents(FCPATH.'convert/plus.svg', $svg_file_new);

        $usmap = base_url('convert/plus.svg'); 
$im = new Imagick($usmap);  
$im->setImageFormat("jpg"); 

$im->writeImage(FCPATH .'convert/plus.jpg');
$im->clear();
$im->destroy();

above code first, get the SVG code from the file and add XML version code then put it into the file and then convert SVG to any type of image like jpg

sorry for my English

I am not sure XML/SVG files should be read as blobs. Try reading as a normal image. — fmw42, May 31 '19 at 23:24
just simple code $pdfPath = base_url('convert/ResumeAnusShahbaz0.jpeg'); $im = new imagick($pdfPath); $im->setImageFormat('pdf'); $im->writeImage(FCPATH .'convert/ResumeAnusShahbaz0.pdf'); $im->clear(); $im->destroy(); — Ghulam Abbas, May 31 '19 at 23:33
it work on many image format still i'm find one issue svg to other above 12 i have checked its work and another format i'm trying to convert lest how many format work on this code — Ghulam Abbas, May 31 '19 at 23:36

An "strace" of the PHP process shown the following:

sh: inkscape: command not found

I fixed this by:

apt-get install inkscape
