Upgrading to 8.1 extension question

[CedricV]

Suhosin enabled No
Imagick support No
EXIF support Yes
GZip support Yes
mbstring support Yes
gmp support No
ZipArchive support Yes

So far, no error logs. Do I need to enable those who are set to no? I'm running a shared host, and the gmp support is not added in 8.1.

Suhosin causes issues - I would leave it disabled.

Imagick is up to you - do you want animated avatars?

gmp support is required for push notifications.

Imagick support No

For gif support you need this

gmp support No

For push notifications you need this

These two i recommend you to enable.

Alright. You guys don't happen to know how I install gmp on 8.1? Being a shared hosting with cpanel.

8.2 throws a blank page, no errors not even in the server error.

you can follow this guide, just look for gmp or can contact your host to install it for you

gmp isn't in the list on 8.1. It is on 7.4 and 8.2.

I'll need to contact the host then.

Well last time i installed it for someone that was from inside WHM not sure how cPanel works. I think you should ask your host for support as they would have access to WHM and can install & compile PHP for you.

I've got WHM as well, but still don't find the option to install it. Do you remember where you were able to install it in WHM?

Got 8.2 to work.
It was the mcrypt extension that was throwing a blank page. No idea why.
