TalkPHP - View Single Post - Installing GD Library on Windows Server 2003/IIS6?

Holoweb · 02-10-2009, 03:46 PM

Hello Everyone,
Name is Mike. I am the lead web developer for my company, Holoweb, Inc and we recently started working with PHP/MySQL. We started by installing PHP5/MySQL on our web server which is Windows Server 2003 with IIS6. Everything is working properly, MySQL, PHP5, etc... We were able to install Wordpress and everything seems to work properly besides a certain plugin that uses the GD Image Library.

Now I know that we needed to download the dll and place it in the c:\php5\ext\ folder and then edit the php.ini file to uncomment the "extension=php_gd2.dll" section.

All that is done, I restarted IIS and i'm still getting this error:

GD Library Error: imagecreatetruecolor does not exist

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I should go about fixing this issue?

All the best!
