If you have shell access, you can find the path by this command:

   type convert

and you should get a reply:
   convert is /usr/bin/convert

Than you place in config.php:

  $ThumbList['ImageMagickExe'] = '/usr/bin/convert';


ImageMagick is rarely installed on most shared hostings, or sometimes it is 
not working with PHP Safe mode. That is why I wrote that it is for advanced 
administrators only, and I assumed it is clear enough for them. :-)


I'll add a better note to the manual page about this path though.

Thanks for using it and providing feedback. You have a nice website, I wish I 
could some day listen to one of your concerts. :-)

Thanks,
Petko
