Php-GD FC5, totaly stuck!!

[Mucker]

I dont want to destroy the php that is setup already cos my website will stop working and I undoubtedly would have to pay the £200 or so for my host to rectify.

Would messing with the PHP cause anything catastrophic to happen?

On the server via SSH (putty I use to login)

[PabloTwo]

http://redhat.download.fedoraproject...6-1.6.i386.rpm

Grab this package (matches the version of php-gd you already have), install to the same directory and run
[CODE}rpm -ivh php-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm php-gd-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm[/CODE]
These are not newer packages, but it'll test whether you need any more deps or not.

STOP !!

If PHP is already installed on the server, first, find out what version.

 rpm -qa | grep -i php

Then we'll find the version of php-gd that matches and install that.

Right heres what happened now

[root@server88-208-229-229 src]# rpm -ivh php-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm php-gd-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

[root@server88-208-229-229 src]# rpm -ivh php-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm php-gd-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm

Just seen the STOP!

did your command heres the outcome


[root@server88-208-229-229 src]# rpm -qa | grep -i php
php-pdo-5.1.6-1.2
php-ldap-5.1.6-1.2
php-mysql-5.1.6-1.2
php-5.1.6-1.2
php-pear-1.4.9-1.2
[root@server88-208-229-229 src]#

Might take a little time to find an exact match rpm package of php-gd for "php-gd-5.1.6-1.2".

I'm not sure why rpm is complaining, as it is really the same base version, only the "release" number is different. In the meantime, you could try,

 rpm -ivh --nodeps php-gd-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm

and see how it played.

[Mucker]

I did this dont know what it means though

[root@server88-208-229-229 src]# rpm -ivh --nodeps php-gd-5.1.6-1.6.i386.rpm

Here's a link to get the exact version match of php-gd that should make rpm happy.

ftp://ftp.wesmo.com/pub/Fedora/FC5/i...6-1.2.i386.rpm

[Mucker]

what do I do in putty then and where do i put this file?

[PabloTwo]

It means it was successfully installed

Probably won't need to last link version now, but grab it anyway just in case.

Do [/B]rpm -qa | grep -i php[/B] again to confirm.

That link aint working pablo, its asking for a username and email

[Mucker]

So what was successfully installed how will i know if it is or is working?

[PabloTwo]

 rpm -q php-gd

will tell you if it's installed.
Is it working? How would I know?
