GD comes with PHP, and need only activation in the php.ini

I don't know where to upload it on my site. usr/local/bin? What exactly do I upload? I just really need help. Ir used to work and now I just get this error:

GD Library Error
Check Module

this a wrong place to ask such questions, this is 4images support forum not "how do I setup a server" support.
try google.

As V@no has already advised, I believe that GD is only available bundled with PHP.

To see if it is installed with your PHP config, create a file named phpinfo.php containing:

Code: [Select]

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
upload this to your webpages root directory on your server and then using your browser navigate to this file (eg www.mywebsite.com/phpinfo.php.

This should then display all the info about php as currently set up on your server. To check for  GD look for :



in the screen output. If the GD info is as displayed (or similar with no errors) then GD is installed.

If GD info missing, then this needs to be called in the php.ini file with a reference to  the correct php extension file. If you do not have access to, or cannot get anyone to amend  the php.ini file, I think you are stuck.

ok so i made the php page and got this error:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /var/www/html/phpinfo.php on line 3

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/phpinfo.php on line 3

I know I have php considering my whole domain is a 4images gallery that works.

Ps - Just to let you know this does pertain to 4images troubleshooting because it is in the program where i am getting this error about gd suddenly not working.

If you have made the phpinfo.php file exactly as above with no extra code, then I am at a loss as to what the problem might be.

Searching Google for that error indicates that an extra '/' or '\'  has got into the script somewhere and when removed all is OK.

I understand that you have PHP running, what we are trying to discover is whether the GD module  is enabled or not.

no, it doesnt. Microsoft is not responsible for a program which require .NET Framework when you run it on your windows without .NET Framework installed.
Same here, 4images does not (and should not) support anything beyond installating 4images itself. GD is a part of the server configuration, and server configuration is your task.
