I am trying to install Cartaro on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have followed every step from this guide: http://cartaro.org/documentation/installation

But on the 'Verify Requirements' page I get this warning which says ''GDAL extension not installed'. Also when I click on proceed with installation, on Setup database page I see mysql and SQLite as options type not PostgreSQL as shown here

Here is what I did:

After using

sudo unzip geoserver-2.3.5-war.zip geoserver.war -d /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/

I opened /etc/default/tomcat7 and added the following code in the end

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -DENABLE_JSONP=true"

Then I edited geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml and added the following code just after web-app starting tag.

  <session-config>
    <session-timeout>33333</session-timeout>
  </session-config>

Please tell me what did I do wrong and what is the correct way to install the GDAL extension.

Thanks

The page Building and installing the PHP GDAL extension in the Drupal Community Documentation is helpful.

The main part being to download and install from source, php5-gdal from its github repository. Some development tools may need to be installed before-hand.

phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install

Then configure and enable the module.

sudo echo -e "; configuration for the PHP GDAL extension\nextension=gdal.so" > /etc/php5/mods-available/gdal.ini
sudo php5enmod gdal

Followed by restarting the apache web service. For example:

sudo service apache2 restart

or

sudo service httpd restart

Tested on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy.

Have you tried it with this command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install python-gdal

you can also install more

sudo apt-get install python3-gdal python-gdal gdal-bin

or even more, just to make sure that you have everything:

sudo apt-get install python3-gdal python-gdal gdal-bin libgdal-dev libgdal1-dev  libgdal1h
