Critical error - the following php extensions are required and not installed - gd

[shoulders]

I have done a fresh install of froxlor and I got this error during the install, in particular when i got to the webinstaller. I do not know if this is a bug or just something that I should sort myself (which I did).

 

 

My system

Hostname: froxlor
Serversoftware: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)
PHP-Version: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.11
MySQL server version: 5.5.5-10.6.12-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
Webserver interface: FPM-FCGI

My Solution

In the file /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini I enabled GD and then restarted apache2, reloaded the page and I could continue.

;extension=gd --> extension=gd

Question

Is this a bug I need to report on the tracker?

Thanks

Update

I re-checked, restarting the apache2 service fixes the issue, editing the php.ini was irrelevant. Does this need an extra step in your script?

I used:

• Ubuntu Server (minimal) LTS 22.04.2
• I did not use apt or apt-get to install any php modules
• In the logs GD does appear

PHP cli is not the ini used for websites (in your case it seems to be fpm).

Most likely, just run "apt install php8.1-gd"

I did wonder why CLi was getting involved, but changing that entry in the php.ini i pointed seemed to fix it.

I will re-install tomorrow and double check and just make sure I didn't do anything else.

Thanks

Maybe use the apt package, see https://docs.froxlor.org/latest/general/installation/apt-package.html
