Issues with Images

[Scgarbad]

Greetings,

I just installed 3.6.8 PL2 and I cannot seem to get images working properly. They do not even show up in the Admin console as they should even though I have them turned on. I am new to PHP so I am not sure that I have all the settings correct for images to work.

Can someone tell me what I need to configure in PHP so that it will support images or let me know if you have any other thoughts on why images may not work.

Thanks,

Steve

Greetings,

The images that I am referring to are the thumbnail/image verification images to weed out bots, etc.

Thanks,

Generates a Internal Server error, try contacting your webhost, this should not happen.

Either your imagemagick path is not set, or your webhost does not allow the exec() function to run imagemagick.

I am running vBulletin on my own server from my office. It is running on Windows 2003, IIS6 with PHP5. In the "images"options section I have it set to "GD" however even the sample images on the admin page are not showing. I am assuming that I have something incorrectly setup in my PHP.ini file but I am not really sure.

Can you give me an idea of what would be causing the error that you observed below?

Thanks,

Steve

Do any images show in the Image Settings in the Admin CP? What are your exact settings?

Greetings,

Looking through my PHP.ini the only reference that I fine to "GD" anything is a extensions module called php_GD2.dll (which is commented out) and also there is a another section at the end of the file listed below.

[gd]
; Tell the jpeg decode to libjpeg warnings and try to create
; a gd image. The warning will then be displayed as notices
; disabled by default
;gd.jpeg_ignore_warning = 0

I tried to uncomment the php_GD2.dll and it did not help (maybe I need to reboot)?

I am not sure what else to do. Should I just install ImageStick instead? Is that a better option anyway?

Thanks,

Steve

Please see post #7. :)

These are my settings...

Image processing Library = GD

Image Verif Lib = GD (True Type Font) - did not work as GD (Simnple font) either and the sample image to the right does not show.

Image Verification Options = all checked except random shapes.

ImageMagick Binary Path - empty cause I am not using ImageMagick.

You need to contact your host and ask then to either install GD correctly or install IM and provide the full path to it.

Greetings,

I am running my own server so I am the webhost. What do I need to do in order to install GD correctly? I installed PHP myself and used the default PhP.ini-recommended. The only change that I made to the ini is to uncomment out the extenstions for MySQL and add the path to the extensions directory. Is there something else that I need to do to get GD working properly?

Sorry to be a pest, I am a newbi to PHP.

Thanks,

Steve

You can try the Server Configuration forum for help with that.

[eva2000]

For windows servers might want to ask at webhostingtalk.com or sitepointforums.com for GD2 install to get a better answer.
