Hey guys,

I posted a while ago problems with my GDlib and my .htaccess.

I had to take out the line

DirectoryIndex /index.php

to get s9y working. So far.

Then I tried the picture upload. I get

Fatal error: imagecreatetruecolor(): requires GD 2.0 or later in /home/httpd/htdocs/woerle.de/net/include/functions_images.inc.php on line 1244

So I thought I dont have the right version of the GDLib. I contacted my provider and he told me that GDLib is installed with the version 2.0.28 together with php5.

He said perhaps I should parse the .php files with .htaccess or change the .php into .php5.

When I call a phpinfo() on the server I get php Version 4.x with an GDLib 1.x and when I rename the file into info.php5 I get php Version 5.0.3 including the new GDLib.

Can anybody help me here?

---------UPDATE---------
I edited the .htaccess and added

php5-cgi .php

Now php5 is working with the proper GDLib. Just in case somebody is interested.

Do you know if this is a general solution for all Apache servers, or if it depends on the webhoster's configuration? It it'll work for all Apache servers, I'd like to add it to the Expert.

No, this is just working if the webhoster provides such an solution. To go into details: this is the case, when PHP 4 is configured to server .php and .php4-files and PHP 5 is configured to server .php5 files. If it is that way you can change your settings so that apache will also serve .php-files with the PHP-interpreter.
