5.7.3 shows wrong PHP version and GD library

Permalink
I'm trying to install v5.7.3 and the installation check page is showing PHP 5.3.3 and Requires GD Library 2.0.1

The environment (as shown by phpinfo) is PHP 5.6.2 with GD library (bundled) 2.1.0 compatible.

What is the installation finding and where is the code that is doing this (maybe I can have a look into this).

The environment is a bit more complicated than this in that the server has a base version of PHP 5.3.10 (NOT 5.3.3) and GD library 2.0, though I'm using PHPfarm to run this site in the PHP 5.6.2 environment (as shown by phpinfo).

Any ideas what's going on here? Is it just a problem with this latest version of C5?

Are you unable to install it?

5.3.3 is just the minimum required version.

OK, I think I'd sussed out that PHP was not what was detected but the minimum but I can't get any further because it doesn't believe that the GD library of v2.1 is adequate for a requirement of 2.0.1. Until I can clear that message, I can't move forward.

I'm back on this problem again. Previously I'd abandoned 5.7 and gone back to 5.6 but now I really need to get 5.7 (now 5.7.3) installed and I'm getting that error again; it doesn't seem to accept that my GD library is adequate.

Any ideas?

Same Problem with fresh installed "PHP Version 5.5.14" on a Mac OS X Yosemite developing environment. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I found out a bit more about this. I my case I've got two PHP's running (using PHPfarm). Old PHP has the proper GD library attached to it; new PHP has some sort of equivalent loaded which, while giving a version number which should be adequate, doesn't provide the full support required for C5 (no JPEG or FreeType).

I installed using the old PHP version, although I can run it OK in the new PHP environment.

I hope this sheds some light for someone somewhere!
