Your server does not support the GD function required to process this type of image.Ci

I had done image upload,resized many times in CI. The same code is working in one page but not working in other page . when i display the error it says" Your server does not support the GD function required to process this type of image." The code to upload image is ...\

 function do_upload() {

        $original_path = './uploads/activity_images/original';
        $resized_path = './uploads/activity_images/resized';
        $thumbs_path = './uploads/activity_images/thumb';
        $this->load->library('image_lib');

        $config = array(
            'allowed_types' => 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png', //only accept these file types
            'max_size' => 2048, //2MB max
            'upload_path' => $original_path //upload directory    
        );
        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
        $this->upload->do_upload();
        $image_data = $this->upload->data(); //upload the image
        $image1 = $image_data['file_name'];

        //your desired config for the resize() function
        $config = array(
            'source_image' => $image_data['full_path'], //path to the uploaded image
            'new_image' => $resized_path,
            'maintain_ratio' => true,
            'width' => 128,
            'height' => 128
        );
        $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
        $this->image_lib->resize();

        // for the Thumbnail image
        $config = array(
            'source_image' => $image_data['full_path'],
            'new_image' => $thumbs_path,
            'maintain_ratio' => true,
            'width' => 36,
            'height' => 36
        );
        //here is the second thumbnail, notice the call for the initialize() function again
        $this->image_lib->initialize($config);

        $this->image_lib->resize();
        //$this->image_lib->clear();
       echo  $this->image_lib->display_errors();
        var_dump(gd_info());
        die();
        return $image1;
    }

I had all of the above set still I was shown

"Your server does not support the GD function required to process this type of image."

I went through some research to re-installed or fixed the installation of the php-gd library. You can do this by issuing the following command:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd

and once done, I have restarted apache2

sudo service apache2 restart

It worked perfectly.

You can change php7.1-gd based on your PHP version installed on your machine.

If nothing works (my case), the error might actually be the whole issue.

  1. Check if you have gd installed, on linux you would do

    sudo yum list installed | grep php

  2. If not installed, install it

    sudo yum install php-gd-package-name

  3. RESTART your apache

    sudo service httpd restart

During my project I faced similar problem. This link help me to solve it.

Replace

$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);

with

$this->load->library('image_lib');
// Set your config up
$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
// Do your manipulation
$this->image_lib->clear();

change your first lines from:

$original_path = './uploads/activity_images/original';
$resized_path = './uploads/activity_images/resized';
$thumbs_path = './uploads/activity_images/thumb';
$this->load->library('image_lib');

to:

$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$original_path = './uploads/activity_images/original';
$resized_path = './uploads/activity_images/resized';
$thumbs_path = './uploads/activity_images/thumb';
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);
