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

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?

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