I have tried everything.. GD will not enable! Essentially, I have
extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext"
extension=php_gd2.dll
I've added c:\php\ext
and c:\php
to my windows path variable. I copied php_gd2.dll
to my system32
folder.. I've scanned my entire INI file to see if there was any other reference to the extension_dir, or GD2.dll extension line, and nothing... GD Still will not enable.
UPDATE
I changed the php.ini
files in my C:\PHP
folder as well as my C:\WINNT
folders - actually they both show that GD should be enabled - I also upped the memory from 8M
to 32M
in both files and no luck, still.
UPDATE 2
We are moving the darn thing to a different server. It's not worth all of the time trying to get this darn thing working. Thanks to all that contributed.
I had this problem once upon a time. IIRC PHP was not using the php.INI file I thought it was using, so all my edits had no effect.
Oh! I even blogged about another difficulty I had with GD on Windows, after I convinced it to find the GD2 DLL in the first place. That was on Windows 2003 but I think it applies even more in 2000land.
