Apache and PHP with GD not installed

Ionexchange · 10-18-2007, 03:10 PM

So a while back I tried to update my Fedora Core 2 to 3 using yum. It didn't go very well, mostly because of my wireless card. So I'm running a fedora core 2 kernel 2.6.10 yet I have some packages that are FC3. In the process of the update, I'm assuming that apache and php were also updated. Right now it is stated that I have Apache 2.0 and PHP 4.3. Using the

Code:

phpinfo()

script is also stated that PHP was

Code:

./configure --with-gd

and Apache with shared objects. I'm not sure if it is nessisary, but cannot find gd.so anywhere. So, the long and short of it, before I updated Apache and PHP a php page of mine worked and now after this update it cannot find the GD functions it needs. I've tried to use

Code:

yum install php-gd

but the repositories cannot find that packaged. Any suggestions on repositories that have php-gd or a method around my problem.
I was thinking about reinstalling Apache and PHP, but I don't want to do that because I like the way Apache is set up and I don't like the fact there will be two versions of Apache floating around. I am always worried of the bin files and other files that are located in strange places conflicting. Thanks in advance.

The library name is libgd.so. Make sure that gd is installed in your system.

I have libgd.so and libgd.a. Thanks

Add this line to your "php.ini" file(s) (usually located in "/etc/php4/"),

Code:

extension=libgd.so

Then restart Apache with "apache2ctl restart". And hopefully the GD-library will turn up.
