Hi,

I've uploaded an image and can't seem to rotate it. The option is greyed out. Anything I could try. When I ran my setup I had to use loose security

    If you can't rotate your server probably does have the functionality to do so.

    How can I check\enable it? Using ubuntu9.04 with full root access and have lampp setup.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Support for that needs to be installed on your server directly with the GD libary that does the image processing. Maybe it is installed but not enabled. You will have to look at the php.ini file (You have of course to find out where that is on a LAMP setup).
  • funkyapache Member
    yeah I know where php.ini is (for future reference by default its under /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini) how do i check if GD Library is installed. I'm busy going through my php.ini file.

    Ok I just run phpinfo() and I see a gd section it says the following
    GD Support : enabled
    GD Version : bundle (2.0.34 compatible)
    Freetype support: Enabled
    Freetype Linkage: with freetype
    freetype version: 2.1.7
    gif read support : enabled
    gif create support: enabled
    jpg support :enabled
    png support :enabled
    wbmp support: enabled
    xbm support:enabled

    Check directly for this function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagerotate.php

    Sorry not quiet sure how to directly test it.
  • funkyapache Member
    I tried the example that it has on that site but all it outputs is the url to that script
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    `if(function_exists("imagerotate")) { echo "exits"; }` But actually setup already does this.

    It returns the text exists. Maybe its permissions. If i right click my albums folder zenphoto/albums/firstgalley and select properties and view the permissions it says "nobody" is the owner and I cannot change the owner of the folder or files as I'm not nobody.

    Have you checked your auto rotate image option?
  • funkyapache Member
    Thanks that worked. It was not checked.

    Hi,

    I just got the same problem. Checked alredy all the above and the auto rotate option is not checked.

    If there are any more ideas it would be very nice to let me know.

    Thank you very much

    Well, if the auto rotate option is not checked it will of course not work... If you mean you can't check the option you may need to contact your service provider.

    Sorry, I was missreading the part with auto rotation.

    Autorotation checked its working!!

    Thanks a lot.
