Solved PHP Extensions - PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

Oclair · Dec 26, 2016

Hi there,

Over time I changed something to apache/php and caused some weird issue. It was not apparent this was happening until web apps started to report suggested plugins were not available...

11.0-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p6 #0 r310492
Apache 2.4.25 via ports
PHP 5.6.29 via ports php56 & php56-extensions

I noticed that some of my php extensions are not loading even though they are listed as built via php -i

If anyone knows their way around this please let me know if there is any quick fixes.

Thanks in advance,
Oclair

php -i over here http://paste.purplehat.org/view/37490172

/var/log/php_errors.log repeatedly reports the following errors

You should manually reinstall every problematic php56-extension each time when you are updating php56.

See PR 205013 - a similar issue for further details.
