That's how you can install uploadprogress PECL library

Problem :

I am trying the new Drupal 7 out, and the status report says that my server is capable of displaying file upload progress but does not have the required libraries. I need to install PECL uploadprogress library.

Solution :


1. Install some important packages.
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear

2. Install the uploadprogress library.
sudo pecl install uploadprogress

3. Open php.ini for editing.
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

4. Append the following line to the file.
extension=uploadprogress.so

5. Restart apache server to activate the changes.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

6. Enjoy !
