PHP + GD with jpeg and ttf enabled on FreeBSD 5.3 and Apache 1.3

Hello

Does anybody out there have PHP + GD graphics including jpeg and
TrueType (ttf) fonts running on FreeBSD 5.3 + Apache 1.3.nn ?

I've trying to configure PHP with GD on my server box using the
following configure_php file

#!/bin/sh
../configure \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.24-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386 \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-gd \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/include/libpng \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/include \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/src/php/php-5.0.4/ext/zlib \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype

Everything seems to run OK going through
../configure
make
make install

After restarting Apache, I can't see jpeg or ttf showing up in
phpinfo()

I have 'extension=gd.so' in php.ini
Do I need any other extensions specified there?

I'd be much obliged if anyone who has this configuration (or something
like it) running OK could point out any obvious error(s) in the above
or point me towards a walk-through install doc, if such a thing exists.

I've tried rebuilding PHP through the ports tree using 'portupgrade',
but that didn't work either.

Many thanks for any help

Configure Apache to not load the old libphp4.so module and to
load the new (built by you) libphp4.so module.

Hi Mumia

Many thanks for your suggestion - I was fairly sure that since Apache
was loading the module from /apache/libexec where it was being copied
each time I did a re-make on PHP, that it ought to be picking up the
new compilation after an Apache restart. This was confirmed in that I
could see the new build timestamp showing in phpinfo()

What I discovered, on trying to doublecheck to follow up on your
suggestion, was that the 'make' process wasn't for some reason doing a
complete re-compile on all the files.

With a recompile of everything, it now appears to be working fine.

regards
Charles B
