[GRLUG] GD library and PHP session auto-start?

[David Pembrook]

As for the GD lib, first thing I do on any RH/Fedora box is install apt-get (http://atrpms.net/). Then if all is well (follow instructions given by the rpm you install) do a apt-cache search "whatever you want installed". Then apt-get install "package name". It will get the package and any dependancies and install em for ya. 

I did a quick search and the package name is simply "gd", so apt-get install gd will take care of ya. If its going to install/update/remove anything else, it prompts ya. Look that list over carefull!

For fc3 as root at prompt:

wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/apt-0.5.15cnc7-57.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.15cnc7-57.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
apt-get update
apt-get install gd

  hi guys i am playing with dotproject, its very cool you all can check it out at dotproject.net

  its a L.A.M.P application that i am hoping to install and use here at the company i work for

  after being asked to install M$ Project server (MS SQL, Sharepoint services, Win2003, 2003 Project server) $$$$$ in CALs the whole bit

  i have almost all of it in place but i am fighting two things

  first i dont know about the Session auto-start for PHP?
  is this a tweek in Httpd.conf, or is this a PHP config?

  second there is GANTT Chart functionality in this application as long as i have the GD library? installed.
  i ran into this when i was investigating BugZilla (we where looking for a versioning system for our internal application one of our in-house developers thought BugZilla would work, it didn't) anyway, i was never able to get GD installed correctly and at that time the List server was still off walking around, so i couldn't ask you guys, now that the list mail server is back up, i am hoping one of you all might know about GD and how to get it installed

  the system is Ferdora Core 3 kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3, MySQL 3.23.x, Apache 2.0.52 (Fedora), and i have PHP 4.1 or better (dont know version for sure)

  thanks all
