Hi there,

I have a plesk box and I want to install the gd library for PHP so i can manipulate images.

Where can I find the "configure" command used initially by plesk so I can add the gd lib to it? Any other tips? Am I going about it the right way?

Thanks.

Are you sure that plesk didn't already compile their PHP with gd support? I wouldn't recommend recompiling their PHP, as it will break their interface, last I checked. And they don't provide the source, so there is no configure script to be found.

You might post in Plesks' forums.

Plesk provide two versions of PHP. One for the control panel and one for public sites. You can happily recompile the later.

And no GD support is not enabled by default (although I think it might be in version 5.0).

Well, anyways, i did it myself.

Bitserve: Just so you are aware, plesk does contain a reconfigure script that will re-configure apache, mysql etc to conform with what it needs.

Shows how long it's been since I used Plesk. Last I used it they were using BenSSL and there were no sources for PHP.

I can't believe they don't compile with GD support by default. What were they thinking? :)
