I am running ubuntu 16.04.4 and installed the LAMP stack as part of the install process. I have managed to get Apache2, MySql, PHP to work after quite a struggle. I want to now install Joomla onto the webserver and all I get is the word 'Error' when I try to run the setup process on the Joomla install. After looking through the required spec for Joomla is says appache2 need to have mod_mysql, mod_xml, and mod_zlib. I've searched through all of the files and cant find any of these mod files. How can I get them? I've searched everywhere I can think of.
It looks like you're missing php mods, these can be installed with
once you install them, they should be enabled by default but if they aren't you can uncomment the appropriate lines in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
