I bought a server from a guy who configured it for me. It seemed that gd was not installed. Now, I am definitely not a server/linux guy, just a programmer and i was having a lot of problems rebuilding php with gd. So, I used yum to upgrade php since I had to upgrade fedora anyways.
php5 installs correctly. when i do
#yum search php
it shows that the mysql and gd module are also installed correctly. From the help threads I have looked through, it appears thats all I should have to do. However, when I look up my phpversion.php page it definitely shows --without-mysql --without-gd. and gd still doesn't work for my pages, and now (where it had worked before) all mysql capability is gone.
So, I do
#php -m
to show my installed modules. Now, a lot of modules ARE installed, but some are not - namely mysql, gd, exif, mbstring, ldap.
it says that the various .so and .dll files can not be found. i go to my php.ini file, try changing the extension_dir to ./ - no change - and ./extensions - no change. i do a file search for various files like mysql.so, doesn't find any. So, where did my mysql go and how can i get gd to finally work?
any suggestions?
