Why are php-gd and gd not recognized?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi. I am making a second installation after a successful first one. This second server runs Centos 4.9 and Apache 2.0.52. When I access the new installation, an issue is flagged with "Image Manipulation Available" ("Concrete5 erquires GD library 2.0.1 or greater"). I encountered the same problem in my first installation and solved it by installing php-gd and restarting Apache. No luck on the second server. Here are the specs:

yum list | grep "gd.*installed"
[...]
gd.i386          2.0.28-5.4E.el4_8.1    installed
php-gd.i386      5.3.10-2.el4.remi      installed


Where should I go from here?

First thing I'd check is to see if GD is being properly loaded by apache, by using phpinfo()

Chuck into a php file:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

And view the file via a browser.

If GD is loaded, you'll see a section for it, where in particular it will state 'GD Support enabled'.

If it's not there, it's a PHP config problem. I would have though that the yum install would have run any necessary scripts to get it installed, but perhaps you installed something in an order that mixed things up. I'd try uninstalling those two packages and reinstalling.

If your C5 install runs well enough to get to the dashboard, you can use

Thanks for your reply (re php-info add-on). While I can put the add-on code on the server, I cannot get passed the C5 install validation screen, so I cannot access it.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I removed and reinstalled gd and php-gd (in that order) and the problem persists. I have attached a pdf of the phpinfo information.

Your phpinfo doesn't include the GD section, so the module isn't being loaded.

The next thing I'd look at is whether gd is enabled in your php.ini config file, which should be at /etc/php.ini (I think)

In that, look for:
extension=php_gd2.dll
and uncomment it if it is still commented out (normally with a semicolon).
Then restart apache and re-check the phpinfo for a GD section.

Hmmm, after careful analysis (and a bit of observation), I found that yum reported PHP 5.3 installed by that phpinfo said that Apache ran PHP 5.2. It turns out that there are two versions of Apache installed on this server and that yum updates affect the non production Apache. I will straighten this mess and I'm sure everything will be fine thereafter.

Thanks for all the help.

I have same problem. Phpinfo() file doesn't show but in my ubuntu system when I checked apt list --installed I can see there php7.0-gd installed. I try to install libgd2-dev now it is in my list too...
But still I can not pass concrete 5 installing page because "image Manuplation Available" is not available.
System alreadyy restarted a few times and php.ini file I open extention gd2 (this should be necessary for windows system but I did in anyway) Oh and I check my list I have only one apache2 version installed.
I need to solve this problem in a few hours.
Is tehere any fast idea?
thanks in avance
