The error says that the OAuthClass is not found which means a php class that is required by you php scripts is not found.
What you did in php.ini is to enable php OAuth extension. Even if the extension is enabled if you do use a php class in a php script and that class is not defined anytwhere you might get a php fatal error.
Did you restart your webserver (apache/nginx) after adding that line in php.ini? If you have just added it without restart, the changes are not in effect. Use a service httpd restart (centos) or service apache2 restart (ubuntu/debian) or a service nginx restart if you use nginx and see how it plays.
