That's easy. First check which OS your server is running.
If it's a RedHat or Centos, the following command will be enough, executed as root:
yum install gd

If you are running Debian or Ubuntu, check your php version with php -v first. If you are running php5 you can use:
apt-get install php5-gd

Good luck!

Thanks, Tiger, I am running Cent OS 5, so it's as simple as ssh-ing in as root and
yum install gd

EDIT: Not sure that worked... I got this.


Maybe I need to update it?
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS:
up2date php-gd

Then do:
service httpd restart

Source:
http://www.boutell.com/gd/faq.html

Yes it is. So don't do a "yum install php-gd" because Centos won't understand this.
In Centos 5 it's just as I said.

yum install gd
or
yum install php-gd

nothing more. You can do a service httpd restart after that or /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart but normally that is not even necessary.

This is not correct for Centos. The up2date php-gd is for RedHat. And Centos is Redhat based, but Centos does not work with up2date but with yum, so just do what I said and you will be fine.:)

Trust me, I've got my own hosting firm so I know how Centos is working.;)

I just see this:
Check your yum.conf for which packages are excluded, because it can be that php* is excluded.

If you have a control panel like DirectAdmin or Cpanel, you can better not do it via yum.
On Cpanel you can use easyapache.

Ah, that's over my head :(

It's easyer then you think. Just answer the questions to yourself and take the appropriate action:

1.) Are you using a control panel on your server. On most servers this can be either Cpanel, Directadmin or Plesk. Others are also possible, but not that much used as these 3.
a.) if the answer is yes, you probably don't want to use the yum install command, so goto b.)
If the answer is no, goto 2.)
b.) If you are using Cpanel, you have to let Cpanel compile your GD. If you don't know how this works, ask professional support.
Same goes for Directadmin and Plesk.

2.) Use the yum install php-gd command I gave you.
if that command does not work, use the yum install gd command I gave earlier.

3.) /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
or
/sbin/service httpd restart

I'm going to sleep now, it's 04.12 AM over here, if you want me to fix it for you, I would be glad to help you. Send me a pm and I fix it for you tomorrow afternoon.
Thats somewhere around 14.00-15.00 GMT+1, so in about 10 hours from now. I do need login credentials then.

Thanks, Tiger. You're a good guy, very helpful. I found the part in cPanel to recompile and it is working now!

You're welcome, glad to hear you got it working now!

Thank you.

Another thing is many phrases are aligned to the left. Our forum is r-to-l.

Description, statistics, categories, File column...etc.

Which templates do I find these in?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a (hopefully) short question. The ratings are as common in USA or England grades from A-F. In Germany we have 1-6. Where can I change the text for the ratings?

Regards
Thorsten

Hi,
@Thorsten: take a look in the Phrases :)

Hi MrD,

I searched in the Phrases e.g. for A+ but there comes no result. I now directly went to the Download phrases but I could only find the Entry "ecdownloads_rate_file" "Rate file" which is the default value for the rating. But I could not find the grades.

Regards
Thorsten

It's hardcoded in downloads.php itself. v6 has a better system with stars.

Hi RS_Jelle,

thanks for the reply. I wil have a look on the downloads.php. v6 I cannot use because I have vb3.8 running and I do not plan to switch to vb4 in the next time.

Thanks
Thorsten

Sorry if this has already been asked but ive searched and couldnt find any reference to this at ll.

Where exactly is the link to the downloads page? I cant seem to find it or are we supposed to link to it ourselves somehow. I can access it via downloads.php but just cant see any link that has been added?

[EDIT] my bad, didnt enable the navbar link option in settings :o

I have a problem guys

when i try to import files from FTP folder on same server

it does not give me the files inside this folder although i tried all the ways possible and i am not writing the folder path wrong as it was working fine couple days ago

Regarding the Create New Thread Add-On

is there a way to apply a forum for a category including its subcategories or not ?

Is there any other way to allow bigger files other than the .htaccess file?

Everytime I try, I get a 500 Internal Service Error.

I even downloaded a .htaccess from another directory and deleted everything in it and pasted the 2 lines (just in case I was doing something wrong with the creation process) and it still didnt work.

I know our forums are still using php4.

Could that have something to do with it?

Maybe stupid quastion but have you this also in dutch product?(vB4)

Gr,

patrick

You can also edit your php.ini (if you have the ability/permission to do that, shared hosts mostly don't have it). It's the same two lines, but without the php_value prefix.

If it still won't work, the best thing to do is to contact the support of your hosting company.

No, as I'm already running vB 4 on my own site (and I have a custom translation over there because we use a modifed version). It's not that much to translate :)

DownloadsII 5.1.2 is an immediate security release fixing a severe CSRF security issue. Abusing this issue can lead to the unwanted removal of files, images and comments. So I recommend to update your site as soon as possible.

Next to that some other issues were fixed like PHP warnings when you are running PHP 5.3.

DownloadsII 5.1.2 Changelog

Jelle

• Backported CSRF security fix from the vB 4 release
• Added permission check for Update Counters
• Fixed PHP warnings when running PHP 5.3
• Removed the imagecreatefrombmp() function. It doesn't exist.
• Added permission check for rating submissions

I'm assuming that on 3.8.x this still works fine with Downloads II Create Thread and Downloads II Upload Rules add-ons?

Jelle, can you confirm which files we have to upload or is it all?

I've made some changes to the hack that's why by editing some of the files.

Normally they should. Though the rules add-on isn't an official one.

Search for "actionhash" in downloads.php and the product XML for the CSRF changes, which are the biggest deal. I suggest you to use a diff compare tool (like WinMerge), so you can compare the code of both versions easily.

is there any way to override server side parameters with the stupid rule of maximum 2mb

i tried several times to edit .htaccess

i even talked to the hosting company said" we are offering hosting services not file uploading one so rules are not to be changed"

Any help ?

Maybe you should search this tread a bit next time. This question and kindlike already passed numerous times. A mistake that newbies often make. But people don't like to answer the same thing over and over again.;)

If it does not work with a .htaccess file, try it with a php.ini file with the correct settings in your public_html directory.
If that does not work, you have to ask your hoster and it seems your hoster does not want to cooperate, in that case it's end of story, or change hosting company ofcourse.:)

If we are upgrading and I upload the new files, will I lose all my settings for my current download section? And have to re add everything?

hello RS
as soon as i upgraded, the following error is occurring:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: downloads_navbar_button in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3957

any cluie how to remove it?

@brettxw: No ofcourse not, assuming you wil do the right procedure when uploading.
Upload all files to their correct contents, overwriting the old ones.
The import the product and set "overwrite" to "yes". Then all will be upgraded fine and your settings will not be changed.

and maybe you should actually read my post next time

if you have read it you would have understood that i already did all of these options even talked to the hosting company

Maybe you should actually read your own post again. You did not mention you already searched this thread. And if you did, you should have found the answer because it is in there several times.

Don't be annoyed, but try to learn (also about what the meaning of smileys is). If I wanted to make a snear at you, I would not have also answered your question like I did.

I am, but you aren't. I answered your question already in my first reply.;)

actually, how stupid of me, i accidentally installed this version parallel to my vb4 version. now my site and admincp access is denied:d
i am sorry for this clumsyness, but could someone help me out please?

disable the plugin system

thanks, yeah i did that and the problem is solved

Why does it always say:
Downloads: 4294967295

I don't have that many downloads.

Jelly,

I want to integrate the facebook like buttom into this mod at the level of the individual files. Any thoughts on the facebook code required to do it?

It got corrupt somehow :)

Run this query using phpMyAdmin or so:
[sql]UPDATE dl_main SET `downloads` = 0[/sql]
(You need to add a table prefix if necessary.)

I haven't used Facebook integration yet, so I have no idea about it. I will probably look into it after vB 4 has a stable integration of it (currently, in vB 4.0.3, it's way to heavy, increasing your page load times a lot).

Thanks...
