Add GD and BC Math support to PHP on LAMP Stack One-Click App
Hi,
I have created a Linode using the LAMP Stack One-Click App and I'm trying to turn on GD and BC Math support on the PHP install but am not sure how.
I tried uncommenting
extension=php_gd2.dll
in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
and restarting my server, but no luck on that front and google seems to suggest I need to recompile PHP with BC Math support?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Rich

@dutts I’m not familiar with the One Click apps; do you know what OS and version you’re running?
On Ubuntu 20.04, you’d just need to install the extensions’ packages:
sudo apt install php7.4-bcmath php7.4-gd
Other distributions and versions will vary; happy to look up others if you can tell me what your Linode is running.
Debian 9 won't have PHP 7.4 by default, but the following should give you the "current" PHP extensions available:
sudo apt install php-bcmath php-gd
If you're already logged in as root you won't need the sudo
.
