[singtel22]

Is it possible to install GD2 using WHM/Cpanel? I used to have GD on my server but after I upgraded to PHP 4.3.1 it kinda disappeared so I'm wondering how I can get it installed/enabled? Thanks.

Look for the Install RPM, look over to the right scroll through the list of stuff, and you should see GD in there

run this command below as root if you have cpanel

/scripts/easyapache

You probably still have it just that your php was compiled without the support enabled in the compile options. Do what inteltechs suggested. Options 2-5 (if I remember correctly) all have GD support. Or you can go for Advanced configuration and enter the PHP menu. Here you can enable not only GD, but other stuff as well such as Curl, Flash, Truetype font and more.

Cheers.

Hi,

What error message do you get ? Paste the entire error in your reply.

COMMAND 'option 4" failed with return code 127 and error messege -bash line 8 option command not found

We would suggest the following, login into the server using SSH.

A forceful cPanel update is recommended,

/scripts/upcp --force

1. /scripts/easyapache

2. Select option 1 "Previously Saved Config"

3. Select "Start customizing based on profile"

4. Select the next Apache version to upgrade or select Next

5. Select the version of PHP 4 or 5. Do not make any changes if you're not sure. Keep it as it as and select Next

6. Select the minor version of PHP.

7. Select Exhaustive Options List

8. PHP section has "GD" make sure you select it and select any other additional modules you require and select Next

This should start compiling Apache and PHP depending on the options selected. Check the phpinfo() page for a GD section.
