            Bug ID: 69853
           Summary: ImageMagick is enabled, prevents GD from working
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Installer
          Assignee: [email protected]

In the LocalSettings.php file, $wgUseImageMagick is set to true. This did
prevent GD from working on my MediaWiki installation (on XAMPP with Windows).

Changing this one line did solve the problem for me:
$wgUseImageMagick = false;

From the documentation:

PHP now comes with GD enabled by default. This will work for thumbnailing, and
will not require any configuration or modification. Therefore it's highly
recommended to not install ImageMagick, since it is known to be unstable. In
fact the $wgImageMagickConvertCommand and Image.php mentioned below does not
exist in MW1.15.1

I added the information to the documentation, however it would be really good
if the MediaWiki installation "out of the box" would work without having to
change this setting.
