Installing Magento in cPanel PHP Extensions Missing

Installing Magento in cPanel PHP Extensions Missing

Hello!

 

Hope you all keeping safe!

 

I have a VPS where im hosting a cpanel for a website. When I tried installing Magento 2.3.4 for the first time it failed and listed several extensions I was missing at the time so I went to EasyApache 4 in my WHM page and installed those extensions.

 

Magento started installing but when it reached 5% installing in cPanel, with Installatron saying it was installing the database, it stops and says: Installing: Error: An error occurred while executing the application API. All I can do now is uninstall and delete the database it created.

 

Searching for answers I found that I need other extensions other that what the installation required so I went to EasyApache to enable them but they don't appear in there. The ones that don't appear are:

 

ext-ctype

ext-dom

ext-hash

ext-openssl

ext-pdo_mysql

ext-simplexml

ext-xsl

lib-libxml

 

This is according to required extensions in: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/prereq/php-settings.html

 

How can I get this extensions installed so I can enable them to succesfully install Magento?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Santiago

Hi @sabeltranh72c4 

 

You can ask to server support to get it installed. Also make sure the php version.

 

It should be 7.2 or 7.3

 

 

Re: Installing Magento in cPanel PHP Extensions Missing

Hello I have PHP 7.3

 

Funny thing is that server support would be me as it's my VPS so my host cant help me there since I'm supposed to figure this stuff out. Right now I'm trying to install the missing extensions from terminal but for some reason when I do yum php -m I get the missing extensions listed but when I go to turn them on from Easy Apache 4 these extensions are not listed for me to turn on.

 

Right now I can install Magento from installatron if I do a clean Magento install (I'll add my own content!). This way the installation goes through to 100% but I cant access anything and accessing my website just gives me 404 errors instead of the normal host page when you have no content in your page.

 

Now if i check "Please add the Magento demo content during install" intallation when it goes to 99% it gives this error:

 

Installing: Error: 2020-04-08 07:15:31.19479600 FAILURE [3; /usr/bin/curl] http://www.MYWEBSITE.com/setup/index.php/install/start [http code=503] @155.92.34.147(155.92.34.147)* Error: An error occurred while executing the application API.

 

*Changed that ip address there and my website its not mywebsite Smiley Tongue

 

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!
