7. all php packages that are required for moodle to operate.

   2. all php packages that are required

      • The iconv extension is required.

      • The mbstring extension is required.

      • The curl extension is required (required for networking and web services).

      • The openssl extension is recommended (required for networking and web services).

      • The tokenizer extension is recommended.

      • The xmlrpc extension is recommended (required for networking and web services).

      • The soap extension is recommended (required for web services).

      • The ctype extension is required.

      • The zip extension is required.

      • The gd extension is required.

      • The simplexml extension is required.

      • The spl extension is required.

      • The pcre extension is required.

      • The dom extension is required.

      • The xml extension is required.

      • The intl extension is required.

      • The json extension is required.

      • the opcache extension is not required but moodle displays a warning to be installed as well.

      • The appropriate extension for your chosen database is also required.

        • mysqlnd

      • The redis extension for our case needs to be installed as well. There is a case where amazon-linux-extras might not include redis into their packages and for that reason we need to go with a third party repository like remi.

        Code Block
        sudo yum install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php81 sudo yum install php-redis

        After installing redis it’s a good idea to go back to amazon-linux-extras repository.

        Code Block
        sudo amazon-linux-extras enable php8.1 yum clean metadata

   After installing all the php packages it is mandatory to change the max_input_vars to 5000. This can be found in /etc/php.ini
