I'm aware of the requirements document at https://downloads.joomla.org/technical-requirements. But that doesn't define which PHP extensions are required to run Joomla without getting the red screen.

The requirements have been the same for almost 2 decades now.

They are the same as listed for Joomla 3 on https://downloads.joomla.org/technical-requirements

Zlib Compression Support, XML Support, INI Parser Support, JSON Support, MB Language = Default

Any decent mainstream webhost should already have these extensions installed. This is not rocket science - this is basic PHP and nothing special about this list

Joomla 4 has some OPTIONAL requirements also documented here: https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Optional_T ... quirements

For those pretending they know about servers, and running into issues configuring PHP on Ubuntu, here is my own (slightly redacted) cheatsheet for Joomla based sites on PHP 7.4
apt -y install apache2 php-curl php7.4-gd php7.4-fpm php7.4-redis php7.4-gd php7.4 php7.4-mysql mysql-server php7.4-xml php7.4-mbstring postfix python3-certbot-apache mailutils software-properties-common unzip php-zip curl git net-tools
a2dismod php7.2
a2dismod php7.3
a2enmod proxy_fcgi
a2enconf php7.4-fpm
a2dismod php7.4
a2dismod mpm_prefork
a2enmod mpm_event
a2enmod http2
a2enmod rewrite
a2enmod expires
a2enmod headers
echo "memory_limit=64M" > /etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d/99-custom.ini

I got this red image page in Joomla 4 after installing T3 plugin. Maybe this wasn't correct file t3-2.7.7.zip
The help on red page didn't help me by changing this $debug = false; to true
Now I can't open administration to disable this plugin
What to do, please help

Code: Select all

Use phpMyAdmin to find that plugin in the extensions table and set its enabled value to 0.

Please more exactly...
Should I go to MySql?
Or maybe I can delete that plugin through FTP?

P.S. I am in mySql and don't know how to find this table....

Everybody uses phpMyAdmin to interact with MySQL databases - you hosting service will almost certainly provide it, for example via cPanel. Select your database and then the #__extensions table. Find the T3 plugin and then edit that record - just double click and change the enabled value to 0.

Do not delete anything via ftp. That could make matters worse because you still have database entries.

Just scroll down that list until you come to the sy4vm_extensions table. Select it to see the records in the table. Then find the t3 plugin and change enabled to 0

That might make your Admn interface work again!

Thank you.
Yes, I already noticed. The quick Morph package gave me errors.
