PHP XML Extension: Not installed

Question

So i'm currently installing mybb and went through a very long tutorial on how to do it. The problem is when I get to the requirements check this shows up

How does one go about fixing this? I read that I may need to do

sudo apt-get install php-xml

I have done this and everything went ok but still doesn't change it to installed.

FYI: I have only been using this OS for a few days so please go nice on me :)

Answer 1

You're close

sudo apt-get install php-xml

Then you need to restart apache so it takes effect

sudo service apache2 restart
