Cant get PHP and GD to work, after uprade (and then downgrade)

Recently performed a system upgrade.  Worked well, thanks to the entire Arch community.
Then I had to downgrade my PHP, from a 5.3 to 5.2 version.  Had to do this because I run Drupal, and Drupal 6.x does not yet support 5.3.  But that's another topic.
Now, I find PHP unable to use the GD graphics extensions, which used to work.  I have the gd.so line uncommented in my php.ini, and I see the gd.so file in the place where php looks for extensions, the suspiciously-named, /usr/lib/php/20060613/ (looks like a date from 3 years ago!)
So what extra steps do I have to take to get my old PHP version running as well as it once did?
Thanks for any help.  I realize this is not exactly an arch-specific issue.  But since I'm using Arch and people here are super-smart, I thought I'd ask.

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

    This sounds like your problem:

  • Cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

    cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

    I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works.  Is anyone else having problems like this?  All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

    how do i get my apple email to work after switching to icloud?

    I'm on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with Mac Mail 4.5.
    Will deleting a .mac account in Mac Mail lose all saved emails, drafts, etc? I'm afraid of losing all my stuff.
    I just switched to iCloud last night and now I can access my mail only through the iCloud web interface. Mac Mail will not work with my .mac email account. But it still works for my other non-Apple addresses.

  • How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5.  I can print from this app thru wifi.  But it can,t print mail, web pages, etc..

    How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5.  I can print from the app thru wifi and PC. However am unable to print mail, web pages, etc..
    In mail when I try to print it just says can,t find air printers.  It used to say print with print  n share.

    I sent e-mail to developer regarding this and they said that basically Apple has denied them access to the Airprint dialog in the new source code for iOS 5.  So, the only way to print to pdf is to capture the e-mail or webpage in the internal apps within Print n Share.  INHO, this really *****.  Apple should make printing to pdf files just a standard feature of all their apps.  If they don't do this, they are going to lose alot of business to the Adroid world as pdf file format is the business standard for all documents.

  • How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

    My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store.  I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID.  Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com).  I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

    I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

  • My "9-o-l-." keys stop working after startup, and spreading! ahh help?

    My "9-O-L-." keys stop working after startup and my arrow keys too.
    Sometimes when I start up the keys will work for a bit then one by one stop functioning and then randomly work every so often, then it seems to "spread" to the right shift key, and sometimes the "8-I-K-," keys.
    Around the same time when this all began my Battery completely stopped working too, does this have anything to do with it? I've reset my PRAM and no luck.
    I'm planning on replacing the keyboard, will that fix the problem? or is it something deeper?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Andrew

    I assume you've rebooted? Can you control the computer well enough to make a new account and log into it? Doubt this will fix it but maybe. The keyboard may need replacing but it might also be that the cable has worked loose so that some of the wires have disconnected but not all. Sounds like a trip or call to Apple is in order.

  • Windows 7 professional backup and restore stop working after installation of acronis true image 2010

    windows 7 professional backup and restore stop working after installation of acronis true image 2010. it generates a error code 0x81000019. please help.
    thanks

    Sankalp,
    I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup.  I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management.  So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:
    diskpart
    list disk
    DISKPART> list par
      Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset
      Partition 1    System             100 MB  1024 KB           ( 78.2 of 96.0MB free )
      Partition 2    Reserved           128 MB   101 MB
      Partition 3    Primary             73 GB   229 MB
      Partition 4    Recovery           423 MB    74 GB
    sel dis 0
    list par
    select partition 1
    assign letter=q
    fsutil usn queryjournal q:
    fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:
    After diskpart, I opened the "My Computer" and see that I have 78.2 of 96.0MB free.  Despite that, I ran these commands on the new q: drive:
    C:\Windows\System32>q:
    Q:\>fsutil usn queryjournal q:
    Error:  The parameter is incorrect.
    The FSUTIL utility requires a local NTFS volume.
    Q:\>fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:
    Error:  The parameter is incorrect.
    The FSUTIL utility requires a local NTFS volume.
    Q:\>
    Any help is appreciated.
