  1. I'm currently running the following PHP/Xdebug setup:

PHP 7.2.15-0ubuntu0.18.10.1 (cli) (built: Feb 8 2019 14:54:22) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.15-0ubuntu0.18.10.1, ... with Xdebug v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2018, by Derick Rethans

  1. Reading up on Installing PHPUnit, the docs state that --based on my installed version of PHP (7.2.15) -- I need to install PHPUnit 8.0. And the code coverage report feature for PHPUnit 8.0 requires the Xdebug (2.7.0 or later) and tokenizer extensions. Generating XML reports requires the xmlwriter extension.

  2. But, I'm running Xdebug v2.6.0. So I ran sudo apt-get install php-xdebug to try to update Xdebug and saw this...

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done php-xdebug is already the newest version (2.6.0-0ubuntu1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

So... I cant upgrade? ...now what?

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and went to check on my local apache2 installation by adding phpinfo() to an index file.

After update/reboot, I went to my local WordPress Admin area and attenpted to update a plugin and got the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Here's what I did:

  1. I checked phpinfo() and no curl OR xdebug options are shown.
  2. I went to /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini and uncommented the following line extension=php_curl.dll.
  3. I then restarted apache.
  4. Also, my phpinfo() shows Loaded Configuration File /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini and THAT is the one I've been editing.

However, WordPress still reports the following: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init().

I'm thinking I MUST be editing the wrong ini file.

Any ideas? I'm dead in the water here. ?

I'm pretty much brand spanking new to Linux. I have a bit of experience on Digital Ocean but now I'm trying to go deep. I've just configured my local machine with Ubuntu 16.04 (desktop, not server) and now I'm ready to install a LAMP stack.

On DigitalOcean they advise that I

  • create a new user with sudo privileges (which i did) and
  • to disable the root account (also did)

but do I NEED to do this on my local system?

I don't have a clue (yet) about "best practices" (esp. for local box), so I thought I'd ask.
