Hi!
I'm creating a website with PHP and running it on Apache! I want to use Gimp in batch mode (without GUI) for image manipulation! Apache is running as user nobody, so I have trouble running gimp!! This is what happens when I try to run Gimp in batch mode using
sudo nobody:
Code:
gimp -i -b "(script-fu-sketch)"
GIMP is not properly installed for the current user.
User installation was skipped because the '--no-interface' flag was used.
To perform user installation, run the GIMP without the '--no-interface' flag.
GIMP: Could not open '/.gimp-2.2/pluginrc' for writing: No such file or directory
GIMP: Unable to open a test swap file. To avoid data loss please check the location and permissions of the swap directory defined in your Preferences (currently "${gimp_dir}").
No batch interpreter specified, using the default 'plug_in_script_fu_eval'.
JPEG image: Could not open '/home/hyaku/Desktop/bw.jpg' for reading: Permission denied
batch command: experienced an execution error.
And this is what happens when I try to run without any arguments:
Code:
gimp
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
GIMP could not initialize the graphical user interface.
Make sure a proper setup for your display environment exists.
Can I still run Apache as nobody, but make it execute Gimp as a different user? Any
other suggestions please? Thank you!
