Can anyone help me on installation? I can't get the red check disappear. I checked php.ini, and removed comment symbols on extension=sodium. But that doesn't work. What should I do?
I tried to put it in the php modules folder and specify
extension=libsodium.dll
extension=php_libsodium.dll
in php.ini
and btw, in moodle 4.1, the sodium package is recommend and not necessary. When I was installing it, it showing that I didn't install it also. But with yellow check, not red check.
I modified the php.ini once again. and no lucky.
Is there any problem in php.ini method? No matter how I modify php.ini to enable sodium extension. I just cannot. I tried to get rid of semicolon in "extension=sodium" to get it activated.
Did an install of XAMPP 7.4.29
Got the following environment errors: intl, xmlrpc, soap, sodium, opcache, max_input_var.
Edit php.ini via the control panel, config
Removed “;” from extensions intl, xmlrpc, soap, sodium.
Made my normal edits to php variables, including max_input_var.
For Opcache
Add this line at the end of the php.ini file:
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll
In the same php.ini file, remove the ‘;’ from the following settings:
opcache.enable=1
opcache.memory_consumption=64
opcache.max_wasted_percentage=5
opcache.use_cwd=1
Restarted services. The following were still in error: sodium, opcache
Copy php/libsodium.dll to apache/bin/
Restarted services.
To fix the error when quitting xampp control panel app, change properties on xampp-control.ini to Security, “allow everyone full control.”
"For Sodium Copy php/libsodium.dll to apache/bin/"
This fixed the issue for me, thanks.
Great to hear this, James. I can't recall where I discovered this suggestion, but it is good that it works. Thanks for letting us know.
Hi,
for the records, this is being managed @ MDLSITE-7506 .
Right now all the Moodle 4.1.x and up packages have been regenerated with a fix applied.
Also, an issue has been created @ XAMPP to see if the fix is valid and they can apply it for their next releases.
Hope it helps, ciao
PS: If with those new packages you still face problems, don't hesitate to comment in the Tracker issue above, TIA!
Hello All, I have same problem as a new user of Moodle with this requirements needed
IMHO, the community couldn't help you more than saying: "You should upgrade your MariaDB installation". How to do this, depends on your operating system, it's not a matter of Moodle.

This will save you a ton of time:
Copy the necessary files:
Copy php_sodium.dll from C:\xampp\php\ext\ to C:\xampp\apache\bin\
Copy libsodium.dll from C:\xampp\php\ to C:\xampp\apache\bin\
Edit your php.ini file:
Open C:\xampp\php\php.ini
; at the beginning):Restart Apache:
Go to your XAMPP Control Panel and restart Apache.
I hope this helps — good luck!
