Enable PHP extensions

Submitted by uinfor on Tue, 10/27/2020 - 05:47 Pro Licensee

I have a customer who has asked me to install these extensions on his domain, frankly this is the first time they ask me this and I do not know if at the level of security or performance should worry, is a small server that I have no priorities or resources allocated to each domain, I do not know how I should "install".

I would appreciate any kind of help, the extensions are...

mbstring extension curl extension ctype extension gd extension

Thank you

Hi,

The resources usage will depend on application using it. Overall those PHP extensions are commonly used and fine to install.

Thanks Ilia,, sorry but I lost the post before I finished writing it, I tried to install these extensions from Webmin and I only get a few, look at the search result of PHP73 . Can you think of any other way to install them?

I added a file with the search result in the original post

The only option I see is to install repositories like EPEL and REMI .
What do you recommend ?

It's not a problem at all to install needed PHP packages by running the following command:

yum -y install rh-php73-php-{mbstring,curl,ctype,gd}

Thanks Illia, I had some already installed, that's why I didn't get out to install in webmin, how easy is everything when you know how to do it ;-) Thanks again

@carloschacon - this is Webmin: System ⇾ Software Package Updates page.

What we'd suggest is to post your issue in our Community Forums to get support.
