I am using laravel web framework on centos 7 server and nginx web server, I installed php71w-gd and still getting this error when i want to upload a file

Intervention  Image  Exception  NotSupportedException
GD Library extension not available with this PHP installation.

you may need to know this

# php -i | grep gd
/etc/php.d/gd.ini,
gd
gd.jpeg_ignore_warning => 1 => 1

Answer

I fixed it by reinstalling php71 and php-gd from “Remi’s RPM repository” by running this code.

# yum --enablerepo=remi-php71 install php-gd 

after that you should restart nginx and php-fpm:

# systemctl restart nginx
# systemctl restart php-fpm
