Issues were found with GD in my PHP installation - basically it was installed, but not linked properly
This is the error that I kept receiving - mainly noticed after doing a system update.
error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Doing the following solved the issue for me.
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo cp libgd.so.2.0.0 libgd.so.2.0.0.broken
sudo ln -f /usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0 libgd.so.2.0.0
sudo apache2ctl restart
Also found that I needed to create another link.
sudo ln /usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libgd.so
