For the life of me I cannot get GD installed in my Windows 7 PHP build. This is what I have done: My path is C:/webserver/php/php.ini Naturally, GD is commented out in my php.ini file. (;extension=php_gd2.dll) I remove the semicolon in front of extension save php.ini copy php_gd2.dll from .../php/ext/ and paste it in the /php/ folder Restart Apache. Everything everywhere says that should work but it does not. running phpinfo(); shows me that the path to php.ini is correct and that GD is still not installed . What am I doing wrong? I am at my wit's end.

Installing PHP GD on my Windows 7 with Apache

For the life of me I cannot get GD installed in my Windows 7 PHP build. This is what I have done:

My path is C:/webserver/php/php.ini

Naturally, GD is commented out in my php.ini file. (;extension=php_gd2.dll)

Everything everywhere says that should work but it does not.

running phpinfo(); shows me that the path to php.ini is correct and that GD is still not installed.

What am I doing wrong? I am at my wit's end.

To enable .php lib" index for Apache24. Go to your Apache24\conf . Open httpd.conf file then search
paste following code

<IfModule mime_module>
AddType text/html .shtml
    AddType text/html .php .phps

</IfModule>

AFAIK you have to leave php_gd2.dll in .../ext/ folder.
