Directadmin how to install php extension the right way?

[interfan]

Guys
I came here to get help with diretadmin.

directadmin.com/item.php?id=252

the above link is one way and the other is to go to directadmin custom build interface.

Now I installed a php extension using the link above and then by mistake I installed the same way in direkctadmin custom build interface

Can this cause issue? What did exactly happen? When to use what?

directadmin had php compile from source.. most likely you need to re-compile to include the extension.
