Hello,

When I try to access the adminiter>setting node, the following message is displayed.

"-The directory c:\windows\temp does not exist.
-The built-in GD image toolkit requires that the GD module for PHP be installed and configured properly. For more information see http://php.net/image."

How do I handle this? Do I have to install extra stuffs? If so how should I do it? Also what do I have to do in case of temp file missing?

Please help me.

You can either just create a directory named C:\Windows\Temp, or alternatively change the directory on this screen to something that does exist.

The GD2 extension can be enabled from your php.ini file. Make sure that you restart your webserver once this is done.. Also, make a backup of your php.ini file before messing with it.

Thanks for the help. I have enabled gd library extension in php.ini file. But the message is still coming even I restart my webserver.

Is there anything that I have missed? Do you have any idea what is wrong? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Make sure that it is active by uploading a file to your webserver with the following code:

  phpinfo();

There should be a detailed listing of all the modules that are enabled. If enabled, there should be a block on this page dedicated to GD.

For people who read this thread later it would be nice if you would explain what you did to get GD working on windows

Hi,

Yeah its good to share the solution to get GD working as someone like me might be pondering over the similar problem. Its simple, enable the extension php_gd2.dll in php.ini.

Cheers.

Hi
I enabled php_gd2 extension in php.ini but i still get the error "The built-in GD image toolkit requires that the GD module for PHP be installed and configured properly. For more information see http://php.net/image." at Administer>>Settings page.
Is there anything else i need to do?
Thanks
