benheaven Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 you need to use a version that is able to work with version 4 as you can see it's version 5.0 you can download the version 4.38 without installer and extract it and try againThanksBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdles Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well, instead of bothering explaining and troubleshooting this as I'm sure you're not running a large production server, I'll point you to what you should install instead of worrying about something so small as getting the gd2 extension setup.http://www.appservnetwork.com/Download it. Install it. Start it. Done. AppServ 2.5.0 * Apache 1.3.31 * PHP 5.0.0 * MySQL 4.0.20 * Zend Optimizer (Zend Cannot run with PHP 5.0.0) * phpMyAdmin 2.5.7-pl1 * Perl 5.8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPerties Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You should get off of 4.3.6 and take it to 4.3.7 as there are several security exploits in 4.3.6 in case you didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xan Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 is 4.3.8 alright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdles Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 4.3.8 is good enough that it's installed to my webhosts main servers plus every other server they have. 5.0 is great except there are a few compatability issues and that's why 5.0 hasn't been added yet.

xan Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I tried 5 for like a couple of days (BETA or whatever) and I didn't really like it... made no real difference to me except the fakt it was a bit faster and took up more space on my PC so I deleted it. Even though I had luck with the GD library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerties Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I was wrong in my last post, 4.3.8 is the stable version you should be using. As newdles said 5.0 has alot of compatible issues with certain scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
