We had some server problems with slowness and asked our host to look into it -- but they claimed our Ubuntu installation and customization had problems, even though we had not change anything before the problem occurred. It turned out to be their fault: And they fixed the slowness. But they sent along all kinds of suggestions to "fix" what wasn't broken.
Everything was working fine before, but they suggested that we update and upgrade. And I did my best, but something went wrong and I lost access some important extensions/modules. I do not know where it's all gone wrong; my scripts are not functioning and modules seem to have disappeared.
Specifically, the module we do not have anymore is ImageMagick, and even GD is missing now.
We are using Ubuntu vers. 18.04 on the web server, and have Apache2 installed, with PHP and MySQL.
The OS is saying we have different versions of PHP installed, and that on the command line I have vers 8.2.7; but the Apache2 server phpinfo() command says we are using version 7.4.
All I need is to get ImageMagick or GD be available to Apache2 php programs, so that I can do some image manipulations that worked up till about about a week ago. We don't plan to stay on this server for long. I don't need to have everything changed. I just need the imagick module to be accessible.
Please, any insight on what to do. Thanks.
Below is some information about the server setup:
