PHP extension(s) 'gmp', 'mbstring' are required for push notifications support.

I'm currently setting up a digital ocean droplet, where I'm enabling features xenforo needs.

For form I can see I've enabled gmp and mbstring.


yet i still see it asking for it.

Did you restart your php instance after config change? Module is even installed?

 

[Artonn]

Found that I had to install them apparently, so i did.

sudo apt-get install php-gmp
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart

now it works.

I realize you are going down the Apache road... but I strongly suggest the open "BETA" of CentMinMod and Alma Linux or Rocky Linux.
You are going to end up with better performance, and a lot of this type of stuff is going to be handled already.

Alright. I will give in and switch over to CentMinMod. Got any good tutorials on how to set it up for xenforo?

Your best base of information will be from @eva2000's site itself. You will get plenty of detailed help from there that you won't from here.

My hosting can't enable this "gmp" feature and told me I need to purchase a shared server.... is it really necessary to have gmp enabled for push notifications? Isn't there another way to get them?

No.
