Compiling PHP with GD
Moderators: onion2k, General Moderators
I feel your pain. I had to deal with all of this.
You dont have yum installed.
This may not be the best way to do it, but this is how I got it working
Go to http://www.webmin.com/ and get webmin installed. You can find instructions on the the webmin website. Make sure you set it up to use SSL (instructions are also on the webmin website)
Once that is done, from within Webmin go to System Software packages and use the rpmfind.net to search for python. Find the one that is for Fedora Core 4 on i386
Once its downloaded you will get some options, make sure you set the files to overwrite newer package with older. The python that comes on the daddy VDS is to new.
Now do an RPMFIND for YUM
Run that install (it will fail) you need to get the list of dependcies. Screenshot or write down all of the dependices. There will be about 5 or 6 if I remember right. I had to start with the last on on the list so work from the bottom up.
Once those are done then go back to the RPM find and run the yum installer again.
Now you will have YUM and your life will be good

How 2 install GD Library on Godaddy Virtual Dedicated Server
How did you guys figure out how to install & enable GD or GD2 Library on Godaddy's Virtual Dedicated Server? Seems like some of you may have found the answer, but didn't post it on the forum to help the rest of us. Can someone please give me the answer to this.
thank in advance.
i'm using:
Godaddy Virtual Dedicated Server
Red Hat Fedora Core 4
PHP Version 5.0.4
MySql 4.1.20
thank in advance.

First off, we need to add eachother to eachother' buddylist since we both have godaddy virtual dedicated servers. This way we can share how we both solve different problems since you know how godaddy is with their hands off policy.
My aim is scratchfromstart, msn softfade@hotmail.com, and google talk k2xl@k2xl.com
I installed webmin on my server via putty. Then I tried installing yum under software packages. It gave me a list of missing dependencies so I installed each of the missing dependencie's RPMs (via rpmfind.net) until it finally installed yum. Then I ran that command, rebooted the server and it worked.

Installing GD on Fedora Core 4 (GoDaddy VDS)
Hey guys,
The easiest way to install phpgd is via yum:
yum install php-gd
However, yum does not come preinstalled on Fedora Core 4 - as all you who are using the GoDaddy VDS are noticing. To install yum, run the following command:
rpm -Uvh ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/4/i ... 4.i386.rpm ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/4/i ... noarch.rpm ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/4/i ... 1.i386.rpm ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/upd ... noarch.rpm ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/upd ... 4.i386.rpm ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/upd ... 3.i386.rpm
Hope this saves everyone many hours of troubleshooting

Re: Compiling PHP with GD
Hey there,
I recently dealt with this setting up a new VDS from GoDaddy with Fedora Linux, PHP5, etc...
I wrote a blog article here that outlines the easy way to solve it, no need for any package managers, manual re-compiles, or any command line anything.

Hope it helps others who stumble across this thread.
