[BUSINESS] How do I know if I have GD library on my server

[Everlpn]

I added a script and it says

Code: Select all

Security image (CAPTCHA)

php - GD library required

i guess you can ask your web hosting service if it is installed, or if they can install it for you

Is it safe to have that, I question adding too many nodules on my server

Ask your host is the simplest method.

Ask your host is the simplest method.

True and yet I installed mine without trouble it is not hard and a good way to learn new tricks.

Leave it to your host, they'll do it for you, why mes things up, that's my attitude.

See if you have "/etc/php5/conf.d/gd.ini"
If not, put "extension=gd.so" in php.ini then restart Apache.

But, that's just one way and every server is different. For example, Windows servers have it by default but isn't enabled, you have to un-comment "extension=php_gd2.dll" in php.ini

For Linux servers, there are different ways to install the libraries if they aren't already there, and be sure to restart web server daemons after.

So... Best bet is to ask your host. :p
