Drupal on Ubuntu Snags

I ran into some snags while trying to use Ubuntu for offline Drupal development and have noted them down for future reference.

After getting LAMP installed, I added "AllowOverride All" to the necessary directories in the Apache config, but Drupal clean URLs wouldn't work. It turns out that, unlike Centos, Ubuntu doesn't enable mod_rewrite on Apache by default. The solution was enterning "sudo a2enmod rewrite".

Another snag was session mysteriously not working, causing problems with logging in (and also updating). The solution for this was to comment out the ini_set session.cookie_domain line near the top of the settings.inc.php file.

    I am using Ubuntu 6.10 server. The install was supposed to be a LAMP, but I ended up having to install Apache, Mysql, and PHP separately after the fact. I followed the outline given in the documentation, making adjustments for version number along the way. MB2-632 Apparently the GD library was not part of the manual install procedure. So I want to put it in. I don't want to have modules fail because of dependencies. Like I've said though, I don't quite see how this is done since all I'm reading talks about compiling into PHP4, 646-588 while I am using PHP5. Recompiling PHP5 to accommodate GD just doesn't seem right to me. If GD is significant enough to Drupal, I have to believe that some mention would have been made about this issue along the way. No, 312-50 I must be missing something, someway to get this library recognized without having to recompile.
