PHP Extensions for a noobie >_>

Post by MoonBlossom »

Hello,

I was looking for a very nice blog system and s9y is definitely great! I tried to install it and my server doesn't meet the requirements since is asking me for these extensions:

GDlib extension
OpenSSL extension
mbstring extension
iconv extension
Imagemagick binary

This is the system I'm trying to install S9Y on:

Operating system Windows NT 5.2, i586
Webserver SAPI isapi
PHP version >= 4.1.2 Yes, 4.3.11
Database extensions MySQL

I don't know much about compiling PHP to support these extensions, so I was wondering if somebody knows if there is somewhere I can download it... or some very easy instructions to compile it...

Thank you for your help.

Sadly I don't know that much about PHP compiling on Windows. But there's this "XAMPP" package available, which has at least the GDLib and OpenSSL extensions installed.

You basically only need GDlib or Imagemagick installed to use the media manger features of Serendipity. OpenSSL, mbstring and iconv is not really needed, only sugested if you plan to run multilangual blogs.

Regards,
Garvin
