Students cannot upload pictures because GD is not installed – how would I go about installing it? I am running the following:

Windows 2003 server
Apache
PHP
Mysql
Moodle 1.5

Thanks

Hi Teri!
Please take a look at the image below,

  1. Begin/Start EasyPHP on your computer.
  2. Let it load completely
  3. "Right" click on the EasyPHP " P " icon in the System Tray.
  4. A window will appear. [Figure Number 1 below]
    1. You will see the word " Configuration ".
    2. Click on it.
  5. A new window will appear. [Figure Number 1 below]
    1. You will see the word " PHP Extensions ".
    2. Click on it.
  6. Another window will open titled " PHP Extensions ". [Figure Number 2 below]
    1. You will see a list of extensions.
    2. Click on " php_gd2 "
    3. Close this window
  7. Restart Apache.


You should see the images now.
Hope this helps.

Look in your php.ini file for the following entry:

extension=php_gd2.dll

If the line has a semi-colon (;) in front of it, remove it. If the line doesn't exist, add it.

Stop and restart Apache.

Try copying php_gd2.dll from your EasyPHP\php\extensions\ folder to your Windows\system32\ folder. (Depending on some Windows voodoo, dll's outside the main Windows system directory may or may not work.)  You may also need to reboot.
