Yes, if you can't load all of those extensions, you have a problem.

First of all, get rid of the extensions and get phpinfo() to work.
Verify you're working with the correct php.ini file and the proper
extension directory. Then try loading your extensions one at a time.

Remember you have to completely stop and start Apache after changing the
php.ini file. You cannot just restart it.
