I am trying to install Moodle following error occur please help to complete installation
Thanks
Yes, you need to install the PHP iconv, zip, fileinfo, xmlrc [and whatever else] extensions. It sounds like you have a
very basic PHP installation. Without knowing what the operating system is and how PHP was installed, there isn't much else I can say, Thanks for reply In which case... it's not really a Moodle problem. The best people to help you will be the support provided by your hosting. Multiple php extensions to install. "Proudly Served by LiteSpeed" Screen shot shows mulltipe cPanel tabs so would think your cPanel has some tool for Web service as well as PHP version + PHP extensions to load. Don't use cPanel myself, but would imagine there is a
cPanel page showing PHP extensions and you just need to click the box [check mark?] to tell server to use an extension. 'SoS', Ken Thanks for Reply Your serve is hosted on asiaServerHost.com WHM and cPanels are provided by provider for customers to set up servers. These forums are for Moodle but not configuration of WHM or cPanel on what could be 100's of thousands of providers. Contact technical support of your
provider for specifics and details about how to use WHM/cPanel to install required PHP extensions. 'SoS', Ken I am also having a little trouble with php-iconv. I am using Ubuntu. When I try to install php-iconv, I get php-common instead. # apt install php-iconv I cannot install php-iconv, and moodle will not install without it.
The php-iconv module, seems to be installed. I have restarted the webserver serveral times. But I keep getting the same error. "Moodle requires the iconv PHP extension. Please install or enable the iconv extension." Don't use Ubuntu, but ... similar ... php-iconv is part of what is installed via php-common ... or supposed to be. Does your server have multiple versions of PHP installed? which php use the full path shown in
'which' response and check version: /full/path/to/php -v Is that /full/path/to/php really an alias to a higher version of PHP? Mind have to use a find as root user: find / -name ??-iconv* on an older Ubuntu that needs an upgrade to php to run higher version of Moodle, above command show: /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-iconv.ini Also: find / -name iconv.so should show the .so file in something like: /usr/lib/php/20151012/iconv.so you might see version directories where it shows 20151012 above. Howard uses Ubuntu ... maybe he'll jump in here an correct me! 'SoS', Ken This command doesn't help. It tells you that command line PHP has it - but that's a separate thing from the web version. In your
web root write a short PHP file called test.php with the following contents..
I am Try to install PHP Extension using [Cpanel and WHM] login I am unable to solve this problem I think I have [Linux server]

That's your provider.
Moodle is only a PHP application that runs under a web service
[Apache/Other ... your server is set up to use Litespeed]. Moodle requires a certain version of PHP + php extensions. Without those extensions Moodle cannot be installed.

php7.4-common is already the newest version [7.4.3-4ubuntu2.4].
php7.4-common set to manually installed.
