I cannot seem to install GD. I have done a search on here and none of the topics are close to mine.

I had a server crash when I did the latest Security updated to MySQL and such and it was brought back online but a lot of things no longer worked. GD is one of em.

When I select it in the Apache rebuild section of WHM and click build this is what it tells me its configuring PHP with:

CODE

Running configure:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib64" /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/callbacklog --prog configure --dir /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/build-log -- --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/usr/local --with-xml --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-magic-quotes --with-mysqli --with-mysql=/usr --enable-discard-path --with-pear --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars --with-zlib

No GD. no --with-gd at all. How can I get GD back to working again?

I had the same problem before, try using the command line up2date to see if you can do it. If not, open a Tech Support ticket about the issue and have them get Cpanel Support to assist you.

That's what I've did and it worked, apparently something in one of the Cpanel build, the GD compile support did not appear.

I even did a manual rebuild on PHP, but the PHPinfo command still shows no GD installed.

Ok Thanks, Yes I did the up2date command, this is what I got:

CODE

up2date gd

I Had this problem, updating cpanel to the latest release seemed to do the trick

I also had a problem with adding GD and a couple of other PHP-ad ons. After the update, cpsrvd would fail.

I have a question about the cpanel update. Does anyone know if cPanel has a fallback routine in case the cPanel upgrade fails or causes problems with your server? Is there a way to revert back in case on a problem?

There is an issue with Cpanel when it comes to compiling GD Library into PHP. It just doesn't do it. It might help updating to the latest Current version to see if it addresses the issue. If it does not, drop Support a ticket and tell them your issue and let them get the Cpanel tech support to resolve the issue for you.

I did just that and now GD can be installed without any issue.
