Ubuntu – Install PECL uploadprogress PHP extension on Nginx

In Drupal, we can use a progress bar when uploading an image or file. But that needs a PHP PECL extension called uploadprogress. The following steps work for Ubuntu Precise (Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS).

1. Install the php5-dev package.

• apt-get install php5-dev

2. Install the build-essential package.

• apt-get install build-essential

3. Install the PECL uploadprogress.

• pecl install uploadprogress

4. Create the uploadprogress config file.
/etc/php5/conf.d/uploadprogress.ini

extension=uploadprogress.so

5. Restart PHP-FPM and Nginx.

• /etc/init.d/nginx restart
• /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

6. Check it out.

 

Done =)
