If you register the JumpBox
If you register the JumpBox you will be able to SSH in, and we can give you simple commands to install the PHP GD bindings.
What Joomla functionality requires GD? If it is a common need, we'll probably ship it as part of the next version of the JumpBox, perhaps within a couple of weeks.
Gallery requierments.
Many of the gallery components require that some sort of image manipulation functionality is installed. Seems like GD is one of the most common requirments.
Look for my registration in the next few days.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm running The Joomla Jumpbox and need to change teh permissions of the showthumb.php file to either 755 or 777 so that thumbnails are displayed using the Simple Image Gallery mambot. I can find the file but can't seem to change the file permissions. I'm using FileZilla to access the server and have registered the Jumpbox. I'm not too familiar with using SSH and woudl appreciate some help! I'm running the jumpbox within VMware on a Windows XP box at the moment.
Cheers,
MARK.
UPDATE:
I have managed to change the file permissions but can not get the following to work:
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
within the SSH session. It doesn't find the php5-gd.
Help please!
Thanks, MARK.
SSH access -php5-gd
You must first update the APT package lists:
then proceed as you mention above.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did get to the stage where I was trying to run this line of code but it came up with errors.
I now can't even get back into the SSH side of the jumbox to try this again.
I'm really not impressed with it at all and feel that I have wasted my money on what was sold as an easy to implement solution.

Hello Mark,
I am sorry you are dissatisfied. We hope to provide as much out of the box value as we can and we offer a way for you to freely evaluate the product prior to purchase. We don't support anything that is not shipped with the JumpBox so if the JumpBox doesn't come with it then I can't guarantee that having a specific feature will be convenient for the user. Over time, I hope that we can identify a set of features for each application that would satisfy a majority of our customers and make sure those features are installed and convenient to use.
Austin
