Error message after CMSB installation

Hi, All.

I just installed CMS Builder on a client's server and got the following error message when I ran admin.php:

======

This program requires the PHP 'GD' extension.
Please ask your server administrator to install missing PHP extension(s).

PHP doesn't support jpegs (or thumbnails). Please ask your server administrator to recompile PHP with jpeg support.
Server Administrators: imagecreatefromjpeg() isn't defined. Search these comments on php.net for 'undefined function' for more details.

======

Please can someone advise what I need to do to correct this?

Cheers,
Nigel Gordijk

Hi, Dave.

I think the server issue has been resolved, but I'm now getting the following error message when I run http://www.bikramyogawhiterock.com/cmsAdmin/admin.php:

======

Warning: rename(C:/errata/uweb/bikramyogawhiterock/cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php.default,C:/errata/uweb/bikramyogawhiterock/cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php): Permission denied in C:\errata\uweb\bikramyogawhiterock\cmsAdmin\lib\init.php on line 173 Error renaming 'C:/errata/uweb/bikramyogawhiterock/cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php.default' : rename(C:/errata/uweb/bikramyogawhiterock/cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php.default,C:/errata/uweb/bikramyogawhiterock/cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php): Permission denied! Make sure this file and it's directory are writable!

======

Any idea why this might be, please?

The file permissions aren't set correctly on the Windows server this is hosted on. Do you have access to change the permissions or do you need the host to do it for you?

When you first install the program it should run through a check of all the permissions, update the permissions on settings.dat.php.default and /data/ to make sure they have "Read", "Write" and "Modify" permissions for the user that PHP runs as (usually named IUSR_SERVERNAME on Windows).

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more details.
