HI There,
Please understand that I am very new to linux and Drupal. I have a few question I would like to ask if I may. I have installed Drupal on Gentoo Linux Computer runnig Apache2 with great support from a good linux friend. Can't catch him all the time ;(
1. When I goto the setting area under Administration there is a red comment that says " The built-in GD image toolkit requires that the GD module for PHP be installed and configured properly. For more information see http://php.net/image
What does this mean? Is this an extra function I require to have Drupal running? Can the site run without this installed.
2. When I browes o my Gentoo Server http://localhost/drupal from another computer (Wife's Windows XP) I can see the site but the theme does not get displayed. Just Text and links. Also I cannot access any modules like currency converter or recent post or anyother link. It just says page cannot be found. However I can access the page very nicely from within the Gentoo Computer.
(CONFUSED, I am)
3. when I sit at the GEntoo computer and select the curency converter it try and convert an error comes up saying
warning fopen(): URL files access is disable in the server configuration in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/drupal/module/currency.module in line 298
warning fopen(http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?e=.csv&f=slidt&s=USDAUD=x): Failed to open stream : no suitable wrapper could be found in line 298
