If anyone could help I would be grateful. I'm trying to get the gd library installed on a windows 2008 server. I normally deal with linux, so I don't really know what I'm doing here. I tried adding the php_gd2.dll to the extension directory and edit the php.ini file but there was no change. There was nothing even indicating that it even knows the dll file exists.

I then tried registering the dll, and it just said the module "failed to load".

Any advice would really be helpful.

Check your Apache logs for a more precise error, then get back to us.

Can't really give much advice just yet, need to know exactly what's going wrong.

That was our problem, nothing was happening and there was no error, etc..

Anyway, we ended up just reinstalling PHP, and updating IIS. Not sure who setup the server initially but it wasn't configured properly.

Thanks anyway.
