PHP gallery2:

[^rooker]

[PROBLEM]
Installing gallery2 on Ubuntu Hardy 64, support for GD (graphic stuff) was missing:

Critical GD functions are not available. Please ask your system
administrator for help.

[SOLUTION]
- Install the package "php5-gd" (or php4-gd if you're using php4)
- Reload apache's configuration

Here's the 2 commandlines for that:

Code: Select all

apt-get install php5-gd
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

[TROUBLESHOOTING]
In case GD should still be unavailable, make sure that it was really loaded by looking at the output of "phpinfo()":

1) Create a file called "info.php"
2) put the following code into it:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

3) Open the URL pointing to this info.php and look at its content.

You should see some row labeled:

additional .ini files parsed

containing a reference to:

/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini

If that's the case, php's gd module was successfully loaded.
