   On a new installation of WordPress, I am getting

   The GD image library is not installed.

   when I go to the Media Library.

   However, by running a test.php with a phpinfo(), it appears that GD IS enabled.

   From phpinfo()
   GD Support enabled
   GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
   FreeType Support enabled
   FreeType Linkage with freetype
   FreeType Version 2.3.7
   T1Lib Support enabled
   GIF Read Support enabled
   GIF Create Support enabled
   JPG Support enabled
   PNG Support enabled
   WBMP Support enabled
   XPM Support enabled
   XBM Support enabled

   It is on a hosted server, so I can't restart apache.

   Thoughts?
   Thanks,
   Michael

   Turns out it was a bit of bad data that was hanging it up. When migrating the blog initially from WordPress hosted site to self hosted site, I did NOT have GD support enabled, and turned it on after the fact.

   When I remove the media library data, I was able to add new media.
