FAP SUPPORT - [SOLVED]How Do I Install GD On A Local Host?
-----------------------------------
I wanna play around a little with FAP on my own computer. I use EasyPHP1.8 and have set up a portal there. Everything works except for uploading pictures. It works if I set the FAP to "manual thumbnail upload" so if I understand this correctly GD support is missing on my computer? Anybody know how I would go about to get it installed?

GD comes bundle with php package, what you need to do is uncomment this extension=php_gd2.dll in php.ini, and check to make sure that php_gd2.dll is in extensions folder of PHP directory

Thanks a lot. But extension=php_gd2.dll was already uncommented and php_gd2.dll is indeed present in my extensions directory. Is there a way of determining if this is actually loaded? 

What else could cause the white/blank page after trying to upload a picture? Like I said if I do it with manual thumbnail it works like a charm.

in the admin control panel of your forum and under Info category you will find the information for your GD and php stuffs (it is for XS board, but for Icy Phoenix i am not sure, but just look around in the ACP i guess there is common one too)

for the white blank page, i think you up load the gif files or else it could be the permission that set in album mod in admin panel, just double check on those

Well I'm doing this on a Full Album Pack addon to EZportal.

In FAP there is a section in ACP where you can check your GD configuration...

Regarding local testing, try using XAMPP or WM Server Tools... I don't like EasyPHP which is everything else but Easy...

I changed to WM Server Tools and I'll be damned... but it worked!

Strange that the dll doesn't get loaded in EasyPHP. I've had no other problems with that package during the years I've used it. I guess I'll have to learn VM now instead.

Your problem with EasyPHP loading the GD module could have been the path of extension_dir (php.ini) pointing somewhere else......

Anyway...  Great that you now have it working.
