Sort of at the end of my rope here; I must be missing something but have been trying to take the necessary steps.
I've apt-get install php5-gd. I've made sure that it's installed as outlined here:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-or-add-php-gd-support-...
ie if I php5 -m | grep -i gd I get 'gd' as a response, so php sees it. I also see how it's been added to the /var/php5/conf.d and being picked up.
I've restarted the php5-fpm service as well as restarted nginx
I've made sure that the original timthumb script was allowed to execute by anybody (yeah, testing everything); I've made sure the cache folder had permissions etc etc.
And yet if I try to hit an image I get:
A TimThumb error has occured
The following error(s) occured:
GD Library Error: imagecreatetruecolor does not exist - please contact your webhost and ask them to install the GD library
Howdy,
What you may want to try is to create a script called "test.php", and in it, create the following code:
<div class="codeblock"><pre><code><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br /> phpinfo</span><span style="color: #007700">(); <br /></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></code></pre></div>Then, browse to that, and verify that it's not loading the GD library.
If it isn't, check which php.ini file it's using, as it may be using a different one than the one you had edited.

Hey Eric -
Thanks for the response; I finally rebooted the server and everything 'took'; so perhaps it was some init process I had missed.
Again, I appreciate the response. I'm going to start a new forum topic about not being able to SEND email from a client though I can receive (client settings perhaps though I'm trying on multiple computers / multiple domains) so feel free to drop some knowledge there as well :P
Just going to trawl through the forums first to see if it's been asked before...
