Adding PHP5.6 GD After PHP Upgrade
I upgraded my local server’s PHP version to 5.6 recently (here’s how I did it) and all was well until I realised that PHP GD was missing (why won’t upgrades ever go smoothly for me???).
But, in 2017, that’s no problem. I quickly went over to StackOverFlow and got my answer which I will share with you below.
- First, do an update:
sudo apt-get update - Next, install GD:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-gd - Finally, restart apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
That solved my issue. So now I’m waiting to see what the next issue will be…fingers crossed that there will be no other issues.
That’s all for now folks, if this helped you then I’m happy. Until next time, ttfn ta ta for now.
