Error during installation of Drupal 7 on Linux/Webhosting site

auser

I am doing manual installation of Drupal 7 on Linux based web hosting site where CPanel is useless. I am using FTP to do most of the things.

After uploading files via FTP, I have got through 2 steps of Drupal install wizard (Choose profile - Standard, Choose language - English) stuck at Verify requirements - PHP extensions - Disabled, see:

Stuck with PHP extensions - Disabled, any advice on how to fix it?

Update: I previously had an error with phpinfo, but have now resolved that.

If you don't have shell access: stop and get a better host. Chose one that will give you shell access, or provides Drupal hosting as a service (like Pantheon or Platform.sh which provide you appropriate alternatives). Even when you get can get Drupal running in an environment with cPanel and FTP access only, it will be a struggle at all times.

If you do have shell access, then you need to make sure all the required elements are installed. Drupal will flag those for you at the requirements step.

This host is also running a very old version of PHP, which you do not want to be using since no supported version of Drupal requires 5.3 anymore (Drupal 7 and 8 will both run on 5.5, 5.6, and I think 7).
