yappa-ng Extended Setup Information

Used Image Module: ImageMagick or GD

Deside which Image Library you want to use (and is available!).

GD Library:
In almost all up to date PHP installations the GD-Library will be compiled/linked alreadyto the PHP code. In the "Info about your GD-Installation" above this Setup Option you have a little help to deside if you take the GD-Library into consideration. 1 means this option is available, 0 means not. If you have many GIF-images and the GIF-Support is 0 you cannot use the GD-Library.
If the GD Version is not at least 2.0 you will have to disable the "GD Truecolor" Option.
On the other hand its in most cases the more easy way. On many Host-Servers (at your ISP) the ImageMagick convert Utility is not installed or not available.


ImageMagick "convert Utility":
If you have a Linux Installation like RedHat or SuSE it is a good guess that the convert utility is already installed on your server! On many other systems its in the Distribution CDs and ready for install from CD.

ImageMagick: http://www.imagemagick.org/

I can give NO support on installing ImageMagick or GD !
In my personal opinion ImageMagick gives the better performance.
If it is not your own server you will have to ask your ISP if ImageMagick is installed.


--> Recommended setting for yappa-ng is: ImageMagick
