<note tip>By default GD is enabled in cPanel servers we deploy. This mainly applies to older servers and/or those who may have reverted to a stock EasyApache build.</note>

Easy
In default cPanel/WHM installation GD support in PHP is disabled. You can enable using the following simple steps:
-
Login to WHM as root;
-
Go to WHM » EasyApache
-
Click on the "Load Previous Config" button (if exists)
-
Select "GD" option and any other PHP option you may need
-
Click "Start to build" button at the bottom of the screen and wait 15-30 minutes.
After that PHP will be automatically recompiled with GD (and any other enabled option) support.
