Drupal on Ubuntu Feisty Server

Drupal can be installed on an out-of-the-box Feisty Server edition with LAMP. To establish maximum compatibility an addition software package is required to establish complete PHP support. The PHP GD libraries can be installed from the Ubuntu repositories with:

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

Then restart apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

Now when you load Drupal on your web server, and you check your status logs, the GD library will show a green check mark with 2.0 or higher specified.
