Hello, @eakrin
What happens when you execute the following commands on the server?
- php -i | grep -i imagick
- php -m | grep imagick
Can you share the output? Also what you can do is to create an info.php file. You can create a file named info.php (the name doesn’t really matter) and put the following content in the file:
- <?php
- phpinfo();
You can then check which is the configuration file - php.ini that is currently used and so we can edit it. You can also check this with the PHP -i command again:
- php -i | grep -i php.ini
Then you can edit the listed php.ini and add the following line:
extension=imagick
Note that this line can already exist there but might be commented out, e.g listed like this:
;extension=imagick
If that is the case just remove the ; and save the php.ini file.
Once this is done you can restart the Apache server and check again.
- sudo service apache2 restart
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
Result of command php -i | grep -i imagick and php -m | grep imagick is nothing.
In infol.php
System Linux wordpress-18 4.15.0-96-generic #97-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 1 03:25:46 UTC 2020 x86_64
Build Date Feb 23 2021 15:12:05
Server API Apache 2.0 Handler
Virtual Directory Support disabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php/7.4/apache2
Loaded Configuration File /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d
My php.ini should be in /etc/php/7.4/apache2 But I try to add
extension=imagick
after restart apache nothing happen.
So I try php -i | grep -i php.ini The result is /etc/php/7.4/cli so I added extension to this php.ini file. This time result is
unable to load dynamic library 'imagick', /usr/lib/php/20190902/imagick No such file of directory, cannot open shared object file
I search for imagick.so in /usr/lib/php/20190902. It not found. But it’s in /usr/lib/php/20190930.
I think this cause a problem. The wrong library location in setting. But how can I modified location of imagick.so?
Thanks.
