I have a fresh install of cpanel installed.. but my vbulletin seems to be missing a some items.. Do I have to enable ajax or anything like that? If so how and where do I go manage plugins so cpanel will run correctly?

thanks

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatetruecolor()



(include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')


Would it be a Apache Handler ? that i need to submit? Or is it some plugin through out cpanel I need to get?

vBulletin should run fine on a new server without anything special, although...

You might need to install GD.


I've got no clue what that error is from. I'd guess a mod of some sort not working in the server environment you have. You might try posting at vBulletin support forums or over at vbulletin.org for help with that.

I tried the install GD... Still same problem.. I don't quite understand.. Other cpanel servers host it just fine... I had to disable some things with another control panel, then it worked fine... I wonder if I have to disable something....?

You may need both GD (you stated this was added already) and FreeType enabled in /scripts/easyapache or WHM > EasyApache (Apache Update) for the PHP modules in the Exhaustive Options list. If that doesn't work, please post any new error or errors you are receiving.

Run a diff on the php.ini files on both machines. Copy the php.ini to one of the machines, then do:

Code:
diff /usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/local/lib/phi.ini.other
Where php.ini.other is the name of the php.ini you've copied from the other machine.
