PHP Extension gd disabled
The issue was actually due to I was running php 5.5.*. The following code resolved my issue for any who come across it themselves. 

To discover if you too are running over that version type the following: 

php -v


Once you've determined your running PHP 5.5.* type the following: 

sudo yum install php55-gd

sudo service httpd restart
sudo service mysqld restart


That should resolve your issue.
