Why does the browser get an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET error when using Imagick?

Question

PHP

I can't solve the riddle for two days and two nights.
When writing such a line
$image = new Imagick('1.jpg');
, an error occurs ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
if I write simply
$image = new Imagick();
Then everything works, I can even create an image. What could be wrong? Why does not want to work with the finished image?

Answer 1

What version of PHP do you have? Try installing an older version of Imagick.

Answer 2

It looks like the script is crashing. There can be several reasons:
- there is simply not enough memory for the interpreter - try increasing the RAM limit for php. I bet on this option if the 1.jpg file is quite large (in pixels), let's say it's a photograph. Try to open a small picture - if it works - the reason is lack of memory
- errors at the jpeg / imagemagick library level - in this case, you need to update them or roll back the update, if it happened
- the machine ran out of resources and the script was nailed by timeout. Unscrupulous hosters host thousands of sites on virtual servers, so the server can simply be overloaded
