[FC3] PHP upgrade went wron (GD)

ursel · Unread post by **ursel** » Sat Jul 29, 2006 10:30 am

After the yum upgrade, My php installation was also updates to version 5.04.
Unfortunately a few things went wrong with this installation.

With the help of this page I could help a few problems. Unfortunately not all.

My GD seems to be not working accordingly anymore.

When a huge search for a few days on the internet I noticed the PHP need to be compiled with GD by ./configure --with-gd

Unfortunately the command ./configure was not known on my machine and "locate configure" did not succees in finding the shell bash configure..

As I'm a noob on linux and for the moment only could handle myself with guidelines/faqs and forums I'm kinda desperate at the moment and hope some can help me with this issue or guide me to a link where I can fix my problem.

I'm working on a Fedore Core 3 machine and running Plesk 7.5.4 on it.

Hey Ursel,

K.. not sure here... but if I remember correctly, Scott replied to one of my posts and said that php-gd is part of PHP 5.0.4 from the ART yum files... it's in this post http://atomicrocketturtle.com/forum/vie ... highlight=

what does your php list in a phpinfo() ???

Thanks for your reply.
You can find my phpinfo here.

I already tried the "yum install php-gd" later on when I noticed GD was not working,

Hmm, my apologize for cross posting. I lost my post, but I seem to post it in the topic you suggetsed to me..

I have a few websites running with the CMS Postnuke in combination with the module Paged. For the image control, Paged requires GD to be installed. After the PHP upgrade, the module notified me that GD was not installed, while it was working correctly before the upgrade.

Perhaps the GD need to be activated in PHP.ini or something??

you do have to update php.ini, after updating to php 5.0.4, as the module path has changed. Check out the PHP page for details

Done that also, according to this page. Unfortunately, without succes.
Also a few by hand, but do not remember which ones. Changed php4 into php5.
