Check if your server has GD support

This script told me that I didn’t have GD support.

The following command worked for me.

apt-get install php5-gd

Installing Inocube

Install Curl

apt-get install php5-curl

Install Zend Optimizer

Mod_rewrite

This was not enabled. I couldn’t find anything useful online about installing this but thankfully there was an option in Webmin to enable the module.

Next

Testing using the Installs folder it turns out that some of the folders did not have the correct permissions – chmod 777

Problem

Also, there’s no GD Library enabled apparently.

Ok, this post resolved the GD library issues

The final piece of the puzzel

PHP didn’t recognize the MySQL functions to connect to the database. I then figured out that the php mysql extensions were not enabled. Thankfully this was as easy as using this command:

apt-get install php5-mysql

It works!

Final, final step

I ran into another problem on a different install. The site displayed Invaild Licence.

IN the table _tbsettings

Make sure the is set correctly.
