Php5-gd for pfsense 2.0.1 captive portal captcha
-
Hello, I have a problem activating php5-gd in pfsense shell.
What I did:
1. pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/php5-gd.tbz
2. After download complete I type rehash (as stated here http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages)
3. I uploaded a php file containing phpinfo() under captive portal file manager and accessed it through browser and still the GD was not present.
I want to use GD for captcha in my custom login page.
Any idea what I missed?
my PHP Version is 5.2.17
-
first, the version of the gd module would have to match exactly the version of PHP we include, 5.2.17.
That file you linked is for php5-5.3.2_1
If you manage to compile/find the right package, you'd still have to tell it to be loaded, it doesn't automatically load every module. Search around for "php_dynamodules" here on the forum for info on how to make that happen.

Thanks for that info, btw is the GD available in the latest release of pfsense?
-
No, we don't use GD for anything like that on pfSense, so it's not something we include.
