Hi all,

I'm in the process of setting up a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25 as an
Expression Engine (http://www.pmachine.com) development server.

All is going well, except GD/GD 2 support. OS X Server does not come
with GD 2 support out of the box. So I did some digging around, and
found others with the same problem.

The common advice from almost everybody, has been to run Marc Linyage's
PHP 5 installer from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
This however, resulted in Apache not working, so I had to uninstall it
again, and restore the httpd.conf file from backup.

I then turned to Fink, at http://fink.sourceforge.net/

Fink downloaded and installed GD 2 plus all of the GD libraries fine,
but now I have no idea how to tell PHP and/or Apache, that the GD 2
libraries are installed.

Can anyone help me do that?

If anyone needs to see the PHP configuration of my server - the result
you get when you run this code:
[code]
phpinfo();
[code]
Please mail me, and I'll send you the link.
