hi @vic , slow down tiger… what os version you are on? what virtualmin version you are on? what php version you are on?

…thanks.

edit: you installing php in wrong way…

edit 2: I think you are on ubuntu… and using php 7.4… try install this like that: (its one liner and I am using debian however I believe ubutnu should be same as apt…)

apt install php7.4 libapache2-mod-fcgid php-memcache php-memcached imagemagick php7.4-{cli,common,pdo,fpm,zip,gd,xml,mysql,cgi,mbstring,intl,apcu,curl,amqp,json,opcache,readline,xmlrpc,xsl,tidy,sqlite3,snmp,recode,pspell,odbc,mcrypt,ldap,imap,imagick,dev} -y

…and after that follow terminal screen… you should be fine after that point.

edit 3: let us know - thanks.

edit 4: removed from my script suggestion the libapache2-mod-php as guys unhappy with it… perhaps for people who do not use it or not know how to, I should not suggest it at all. thanks. Also @joe - got your message about ban. I just suggested this option as its there for advanced users, without realising that sometimes I should grasp other knowledge about this… wont suggest again anything like it…

Are you up to date? I thought we’d hidden those failures in the current version. Virtualmin tries to find the necessary modules on a bunch of different names (because the package names vary wildly across distros). They are not indicative of a problem.

Please do not suggest installing mod_php (with libapache2-mod-php package).

Suggesting installation of mod_php is a way to get banned. :wink:

Never install mod_php.
