You probably just need to install the PHP GD module.
How to do that differs depending on what distro you're using, but on CentOS/RHEL, it's something like:
yum install php5-gd
i'm on ubuntu, done with apt-get install php5-gd, and now? how to load? thanks
ok i've restarted apache2, all good thanks.
1 question: how if i do /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, many times i get:
<<<
* Starting web server apache2
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
<<<
but if i normal stop and start, waiting 5 seconds, all is good?
Thanks
This is a buggy behavior in Ubuntu's initscript (the Ubuntu folks "improved" the initscript a few months ago; and as is often the case with Ubuntu improvements, it broke things). The Ubuntu folks make a fine desktop OS, but methinks they don't have a lot of experience on the server, and it shows. ;-)
You'll want to stop/start until they fix it.
It leads to hung apache processes that don't respond.

the restart is sending a HUP signal, graceful restart, used to apply only if you changed a configuration. It's like reloading the config. To my best knowledge the "error" can be ignored
stop will disconnect and reconnect with start.
I have same question? I install php7.0-gd but I can not available .. thanks

Victor, this post was from 2009. Start a new thread rather than reviving ancient ones.
You haven't told us your distro or version so I'll guess CentOS 7.
# yum install rh-php70-php-gd--
