PHP extension "gd" must be loaded. error while installing Magento.

Hi,everyone i am trying to install Magento in my arch linux localhost.
I have installed LAMP and things are working good but when i tried to install Magento in my arch system during the configuration time i am getting the error

PHP extension "gd" must be loaded.

I have enabled "extension=gd.so" in my /etc/php/php.ini and restarted httpd service but still i am getting the same error.

Please help me to fix this issue!

Re: PHP extension "gd" must be loaded. error while installing Magento.

Post the output of

$php -i

Make sure you have installed php-gd.

Paste php.ini. Gd extension isn't loaded.

Weird, check in /usr/lib/php/modules if gd.so exists, also check its permissions.

Re: PHP extension "gd" must be loaded. error while installing Magento.

Have you tried to reinstall it (php-gd) and restart Apache? Can you post your Apache error_log (/var/log/httpd/error_log)?

Re: PHP extension "gd" must be loaded. error while installing Magento.

To check for gd extension, check with php -i

gd

GD Support => enabled
GD Version => bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
GIF Read Support => enabled
GIF Create Support => enabled
JPEG Support => enabled
libJPEG Version => 8
PNG Support => enabled
libPNG Version => 1.5.15
WBMP Support => enabled
XBM Support => enabled

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
gd.jpeg_ignore_warning => 0 => 0

I don't know how i can help you more with this issue, report it or wait for other reply.

@Mouse: if you check php -i output, you will see that php(as standalone,without apache) cannot "use" gd extension. So apache or http aren't the source of the problem for now.

Is php.ini extension_dir pointing to the right directory (/usr/libs/php/modules)?

cat /etc/php/php.ini | grep extension_dir

Also, please let us know the output of:

ls -al /usr/lib/php/modules/ | grep gd.so

You didn't answer whether php.ini extension_dir is pointing to the right directory or not.

He has pasted the php.ini earlier that shows where extension_dir is pointing to.

Dinesh raja report it.

Re: PHP extension "gd" must be loaded. error while installing Magento.

My final question (you can forget the rest) - is libpng (name of the package; not directly related to PHP) installed?

Dinesh raja report it.

My bad.

I couldn't understand the meaning of this quote and libpng is not related to my PHP .

This is a line (stripped down to what matters) from your error_log:

libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

While libpng isn't directly related to PHP, it IS a dependency for php-gd.

Is it installed? Have you tried to reinstall it?

Re: PHP extension "gd" must be loaded. error while installing Magento.

look at the apache modules, mine is at /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-gd.ini

; configuration for php GD module
; priority=20
; extension=gd.so

Even if the module exists and is installed on the system, it is commented out on the module config. Uncomment it, then restart Apache, then you should be fine.
