The php.ini file in Panther server is actually named “php.ini.default” … you want to copy it (as root) to “php.ini”, make your modifications, then restart apache. Skip the GUI, you’re just making things harder on yourself by insisting on a GUI. Learn how to use pico, it’s easier than you think. There’s also a php page enabled by default in the root of your Panther server’s Web directory — unless you’ve deleted it outright. Open this page in your browser (info.php or something similar, dive into a shell and look in the Web root for it, unless you know you deleted everything) and you can see in your Web browser what is happening. Don’t know what the problem is with your script, because gd is enabled out of the box in Panther server, but google a bit — another forum I found before this one has a script example you can run to test gd. THen again, you posted this ages ago, so chances are you’ve fixed the problem and/or moved on already.
