Adding GD PHP support to Fedora Core 5 (FC5)

For some reason I thought GD was installed by default onto the DFL production servers… and that PHP was configured accordingly. I was wrong. But lo and behold I found a very simple upgrade path.

% yum install gd-devel
% yum install php-gd

restart apache:
% /sbin/service httpd restart

You’re golden.
