• bz2, gmp, htscanner, igbinary, imagick, imap, ioncube
• ldap, opcache, phalcon, redis, readline
• suhosin, snuffleupagus, xmlrpc, zend

Checking enabled extensions

To check which extensions are currently enabled, run via SSH:

php -m

Enabling an extension

To enable an extension (e.g., imagick), run the following commands:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set_php "imagick" yes
./build "php_imagick"

Verify the module is enabled:

php -m
