Answer 1

I had all of the above set still I was shown

"Your server does not support the GD function required to process this type of image."

I went through some research to re-installed or fixed the installation of the php-gd library. You can do this by issuing the following command:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd

and once done, I have restarted apache2

sudo service apache2 restart

It worked perfectly.

You can change php7.1-gd based on your PHP version installed on your machine.

Answer 2

During my project I faced similar problem. This link help me to solve it.

Replace

$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);

with

$this->load->library('image_lib');
// Set your config up
$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
// Do your manipulation
$this->image_lib->clear();

Answer 3

change your first lines from:

$original_path = './uploads/activity_images/original';
$resized_path = './uploads/activity_images/resized';
$thumbs_path = './uploads/activity_images/thumb';
$this->load->library('image_lib');

to:

$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$original_path = './uploads/activity_images/original';
$resized_path = './uploads/activity_images/resized';
$thumbs_path = './uploads/activity_images/thumb';
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);

Answer 4

If nothing works (my case), the error might actually be the whole issue.

1. Check if you have gd installed, on linux you would do

   sudo yum list installed | grep php

2. If not installed, install it

   sudo yum install php-gd-package-name

3. RESTART your apache

   sudo service httpd restart
