PHP

We use:

• Ubuntu
• Apache2
• PHP 7.4

We recommend using PHP 7.4 with the following packages & optimizations. After package install and ini file modification be sure to run sudo service apache2 restart

Packages

sudo apt install php7.4-intl
sudo apt install php7.4
sudo apt install php7.4-bcmath
sudo apt install php7.4-curl 
sudo apt install php7.4-gd
sudo apt install php7.4-geoip
sudo apt install php7.4-mbstring
sudo apt install php7.4-memcached
sudo apt install php7.4-mysql
sudo apt install php7.4-xml
sudo apt install php7.4-zip

sudo service apache2 restart

Optimization

To find the php.ini for the install you can visit the Admin > Tools page and check the Server Tab at the /admin/server/ URL.

Find Loaded Configuration File /PATH/php.ini

If none is present, find Configuration File (php.ini) Path & copy the default.php.ini to php.ini to the path.

Update the below-recommended setting.

Update: Please note that we recommend adding PHP settings modifications to conf.d instead of directly modifying the packages default php.ini file.
