Hi,

I had the same message when I upgraded tot cms v1.15. Just look into your Control Panel and change the php version to version bigger dan 4.x. That did the trick for me. 'GD' is something that has to be enabled in your php.ini file and it's not enabled with every php version.

Hope that helps you.

Greetz,

Thank you.

I hope it is the ini file, because I am using PHP version 5.0, so I don't need no update on that end.

regards

Joe

Hi Joe,

This page here (http://php.net/manual/en/image.setup.php) says GD has been bundled with PHP since v4.3. But the PHP docs aren't always correct.

My guess is either your host may not have setup PHP or GD correctly or the code that detects if GD is there isn't working correctly.

I can take a look at your server if you like. Just send CMS and FTP login details to dave@interactivetools.com (email, don't post login details to forum).

Hope that helps!
