enabling php libraries

[jman]

is there a way to enable php libraries through cpanel? my partner and i are transferring hitmanforum.com and we're trying to iron out a few bugs. according to him, we need to enable gd libraries for some image functions to work, and we can't seem to find it.

Libraries are something that only root to the server can do.

I don't know about what your trying to setup but GD libraries for PHP are already enabled. At least under the hostgator domain and my reseller account.

www.hostgator.com/phpinfo.php

Create a file with the following contents (call it phpinfo.php);

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Upload it to your account and call the page, about half the way down the page you should see that the GD librarty is enabled.

I've played around with GD myself on the account so I know it works.

What exactly is going on? Perhaps we can help.
