gd2

Hi,

I'm trying to install pixelpost on an Apache server on windows. The installer is failing because:

Pixelpost will not run if your PHP installation is not compiled with the GD graphics library.

I've added the following line to php.ini

extension=php_gd2.dll

But I still get the same error message. When I run phpinfo() I don't see any reference to GD, so I guess it really isn't installed. I searched for php_gd2.dll and it's in the ext subfolder of my PHP root dir.

I know nothing about PHP, so be gentle with me.

Thanks, Don
