ImageMagick upload issue

I know that others have posted about difficulties with ImageMagick, but after reading in the forums here I'm still in the dark about the reason for the error I'm getting and what I should do about it. I'm running Omeka 2.3. I'm unable to upload any files at all. Here's the error message I get every time I try:

Omeka has encountered an error

Omeka_File_Derivative_Exception

ImageMagick is not properly configured: invalid directory given for the ImageMagick command!

exception 'Omeka_File_Derivative_Exception' with message 'ImageMagick is not properly configured: invalid directory given for the ImageMagick command!' in /var/www/vhosts/sunygeneseoenglish.org/walterharding.org/application/libraries/Omeka/File/Derivative/Strategy/ExternalImageMagick.php:83

Hi,

The parameter "ImageMagick Path" in Admin panel > Parameters should be set (generally /usr/bin
on a Linux system).

Sincerely,

Thanks - that's how it was set, but the problem was that ImageMagick wasn't installed. My hosting service doesn't provide it by default. But it's installed now and working. Issue resolved.
