Hello, I am quite new to setting up and configuring web servers and I can't seem to figure this out. I am trying to install the PHP GD library on my machine, but I get an error I don't know how to solve. I executed the command : sudo yum install php-gd And got the following: Error: Package: php-gd-5.3.3-27.el6_5.i686 (updates) Requires: php-common(x86-32) = 5.3.3-27.el6_5 Installed: php-common-5.4.27-1.el6.remi.i686 (@remi) php-common(x86-32) = 5.4.27-1.el6.remi Available: php-common-5.3.3-26.el6.i686 (base) php-common(x86-32) = 5.3.3-26.el6 Available: php-common-5.3.3-27.el6_5.i686 (updates) php-common(x86-32) = 5.3.3-27.el6_5 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Also, I used the following repositories: sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm Any ideas about how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!

It looks like the "Remi" third party repository you added has a newer version of php, but not a corresponding version of php-gd. You have php 5.4 installed, but only php-gd 5.3 is available.

Hi, I finally managed to install php-gd, although I'm still not able to make it work.

If I run the command: rpm -qa | grep php

I get the following:
php-common-5.4.27-1.el6.remi.i686
php-pdo-5.4.27-1.el6.remi.i686
php-fpm-5.4.27-1.el6.remi.i686
php-gd-5.4.27-1.el6.remi.i686
php-mysql-5.4.27-1.el6.remi.i686

So I'm guessing it should be installed.

I also added a swap file:

Command: swapon -s
Result:
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/swapfile file 524280 0 -1

I restarted nginx and there is still no sign of gd when in run phpinfo(). Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks in advance!

You might need to restart php-fpm for it to take effect: 


/etc/rc.d/init.d/php-fpm restart
