I contacted server support and he said:
Thank you for contacting Technical Support.
Try using this directory for IM
/usr/bin/convert
BUT the faq talks about
"It will need to be ran from the command line as none of the API's are installed."
========
Just what does this mean and is there a way to use IM with FPA ver 1.5 --- thanks

== This is what server FAQ said ===
ImageMagick allows you to dynamically create and edit images on the server. It will need to be ran from the command line as none of the API's are installed. ImageMagick is already available for utilization on the servers. It is located at:

* /usr/bin/convert
* /usr/bin/mogrify

Additional links:

* ImageMagick homepage - http://www.imagemagick.com/

Example:
The following are examples to demonstrate that ImageMagick is installed and functioning. If you have a file named image.jpg in your public_html, the following command ran from the command line will resize the image and name the new image to resize_image.jpg:

* VPS and Dedicated servers with SSH access:

convert image.jpg -resize 64x64 resize_image.jpg

* Shared servers with no SSH access: You can setup a cron job with the following command:

/usr/bin/convert public_html/image.jpg -resize 64x64 public_html/resize_image.jpg

* Shared servers with no SSH accesss: You can run the following command from a php script:

exec('/usr/bin/convert /home/USERNAME/public_html/image.jpg -resize 64x64 /home/USERNAME/public_html/resize_image.jpg');

Please note that in this example you will need to replace USERNAME with your actual username.
You will also need to make sure that the folder you are writing resize_image.jpg to has write permiss
