 |

I'm doubtful this has something to do with abyss, but i thought i'd ask anyway, just to be sure.
When i upload a photo in the profile of e107 it won't show up. It just says "no photo" in the profile. The pictures filename gets changes too, a lot of digits is added. This doesn't happen when you upload an image att e107's homepage.

Hi Exterus,
You're correct. It has nothing to do with Abyss. :wink:
First, you need to see if you have php_gd2.dll installed in your php folder.
Then, uncomment it in your php.ini to enable it.
Go to images in the admin area of e107 and make sure gd2 is selected.
Also, the latest e107 upgrade (v0.612) is available at www.e107.org . :wink: |

Hi TRUSTpunk,
GD1 had no support for real truecolor at all, so it faked it by dithering your image.
GD2 supports real truecolor, alpha channels and also has a better way of reducing to palette color. |

Moxxnixx,
GIF patents only affects GIF compression. So you can legally generate uncompressed GIF files (they are gif files but with a bigger size).

| Quote: | | php 4.3.x is available, and it includes a version of gd as "standard equipment." Your GD FAQ says: "according to rumor the self-extracting installer does not include gd for some reason; comments from those who find otherwise are welcome." In my binary installation of PHP 4.3.3, I found that php_gd2.dll is available, it's just not enabled by default. To turn it on, the user may simply uncomment the line "extension=php_gd2.dll" in php.ini. Hope this helps people who, like me, saw the FAQ entry and immediately started dreading the prospect of building everything from source -- something Windows doesn't seem to make very easy for people with little C/C++ experience. Updated 12/06/03: Windows users DO get gd included when they install the convenient self-extracting version of PHP, however they must uncomment the line extension=php_gd2.dll in the file php.ini. Thanks to Alan MacDougall for clarifying this |
That's taken from http://www.boutell.com/gd/faq.html.
Am I a complete retard, or does that mean that you only have to uncomment that line in php.ini (I have php 4.3.4)?
And if that's so, how come I get "Error 504 - Gateway Timeout" when I try to access a php-file after I saved php.ini with the new changes?
EDIT: I get a message where it say that I don't have the module "php_gd2.dll". That FAQ lied to me. :(

Exterus,
All you gotta do is download the zip package of PHP from http://www.php.net/downloads.php
Unzip it and take out the php_gd2.dll. Put it in the root directory of where PHP is installed.
Then uncomment it in your php.ini. That's all. :wink:
BTW - I answered your question you asked me on my site. :wink: |

Ah. Thanks. It works, hallelujah!
But that FAQ still sucks. :)
