i AM USING A aws lightsail instance with a Bitnami Apache2 Lampstack setup on it.
My issue is I am unable to get php curl enabled. I seem to have a bunch of php.ini files all over the server in diffiferent locations. So I edited all of them removing the ; from the line that read extension=curl. I then restarted the instance. However my php file is still giving me the error saying
caught Exception: Shippo needs the CURL PHP extension.
When I run a phpinfo() I see my path to the ini file is /etc/php/8.0/apache2/php.ini
However when I do a which php command I am giving a path like this /opt/bitnami/php/bin/php
when I do a php -v I am also seeing it say PHP 7.4.27 so my php info file seems to say I am using php7.8 and my CLI feels i am using php7.4 which could be part of my issue.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? my other issue is I am having a hard time getting to the path /etc/php/8.0/apache2/php.ini I simply can not find a folder with 8.0 in it
I'm transitioning my website from PHP v.5 installed on a shared web-hosting account (at DreamHost) to run on PHP 7.3.11. After transition, I started noticing that once in a while I get these warnings:
Warning: preg_match_all(): Allocation of JIT memory failed, PCRE JIT
will be disabled. This is likely caused by security restrictions.
Either grant PHP permission to allocate executable memory, or set
pcre.jit=0
The last one originated from this line of code that was supposed to replace special tags in my posted HTML for the page:
if(preg_match_all("/\[".$tagBegin."(\S)+\]/U", $html, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE) !== false)
Is there something that I need to do differently in v.7.3 to avoid that warning?
You should be able to ward off this warning by using ini_set to change the config value suggested by the warning message itself:
ini_set("pcre.jit", "0");
Be sure to run that line of code before any usages of regular expressions.
For me I have added pcre.jit=0 to php.ini file in [Pcre] and this worked very nice.
Search in whatever system manages your website : the cPanel's File Manager, your web hoster's admin dashboard, your computer's disks- for 'php.ini'. There won't be many files named like that in places that have something to do with your website or application that is giving you an error message.
Edit that php.ini file and find the section [Pcre] and add this line at the bottom of that section : pcre.jit=0
It should look something like this:
Save your changes and reload the page or application.
Open your php.ini file (C:\xampp\php\php.ini) and search for this setting:
;Enables or disables JIT compilation of patterns. This requires the PCRE
;library to be compiled with JIT support.
;pcre.jit=1
Remove the comment and make sure that it is set to 1:
pcre.jit=1
Restart your Apache server and the warning will go away with the correct permission set.
I have Xampp and a previous version of PHP.
I fixed that error by following a video on Youtube called :
PhpMyAdmin Error Warning in .\libraries\classes\Config\FormDisplay.php#
basically what he did is he went in the button of PHPAdmin page and downloaded a new version, then he made the config file inside PHPAdmin folder(in Mac) and deleted all files then pasted the new files of the new PHP admin along with the config. It worked great for me and him.
I am trying to use PHP to print to a server side printer. I have found similar example code that mostly all use the same API’s functions in order to do this task. When I ran it on my server to test the code it was saying “PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open()”. So I found at least three different versions of the php_printer.DLL’s for this printer function and tried them all separately . I did some more research and looking into the apache server error log found this warning
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\php_printer.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
From this found some Bing search results that said that the reason it is not loading when apache starts up is because it is depend on other libraries. If this is true I have not as yet been able to find which library DLL’s these are and where to get them. This is what I need help with first to basically know if it is not depended then why is the PHP warning being thrown or what library’s do I need.
Thanks for any help

I am running a wampserver2.2
Apache 2.4.2
PHP 5.4.3
OS : windows 7 64 bit
Added to the php.ini file
extension=php_printer.dll
and no errors in the php log
also I did restarted the server each time I change the php.ini file or when I put a new DLL in the *ext* directory
I even put the path to the wamp DLL’s “...\ext\” in the environment variables for windows, as a shot in the dark .
Example code
<?php
/* get the sample text */
$lipsum = "test print";//file_get_contents('lipsum.txt');
phpinfo();
/* open a connection to the printer */
$printer = printer_open("Microsoft XPS Document Writer");
/* write the text to the print job */
printer_write($printer, $lipsum);
/* close the connection */
printer_close($printer);
?>

I found this site along with a slightly different error message from the php error log.
basically the below link said the error happened because the PHP_printer.dll is complied with a different visual studio c++ version and therefore need to be recompiled. it gives the steps for the most part I still am tring to get it to work

In case you couldn't found a solution yet....
First of all check in phpinfo() that in the version of wmap server you are using thread safety is enabled or not. Just ctrl+F in the phpinfo() for "thread safety".
Probably thread safety is enabled in the version you are using. Then you have to download the ts(thread safe) version of the php_printer.dll which you can find here....
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/snaps/printer/0.1.0-dev/
download specific file according to your system requirement (OS and others) and copy it in the extension directory of the wamp. Then just enable the extension in the php.ini file like
extension=php_printer.dll
just add this line in the ini file if already not there and there will be no ; at the beginning.
Hope it helps ...
I have, as best as I can manage, set up IIS (6.0), PHP (5.2.8) and MySQL (5.1.30) on Windows Server 2003, with all the involved mucking about (I think) in IIS and PHP to get things talking to each other.
PHP does work - however, I cannot use the mysql or mysqli libraries from a PHP page.
Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in...
Information relating to MySQL or MySQLi does not appear when using phpinfo() in a PHP page.
However, when I invoke PHP from the command line, such as
> php -r phpinfo()
Information relating to MySQL and MySQLi does appear in the output from that.
Restarting IIS or the OS does not produce further effect. I have only one php.ini file, in the PHP root directory.
Do I need to connect MySQL to IIS somehow as well, or is there another problem?
The php.ini file used for command-line usage of PHP may be different from the php.ini used by the web server. You should get phpinfo() information by putting a small PHP script under your web server's document space:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Open this PHP script by using your browser to request that PHP script via an URL to your web server. That will tell you what the web server thinks is your PHP configuration.
Also remember that you need to restart the web server for edits to php.ini to take effect. It only reads the php.ini when the web server starts.
There are numerous places the php.ini file that your IIS instance is using might live. See http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.php or http://www.iis-aid.com/articles/how_to_guides/where_php_ini_is_loaded_from for details.
Look at the output of phpinfo() when viewed in your browser, and look for the item "Loaded Configuration File".
WAMP installed fine, no problems, BUT...
When going to phpMyAdmin, I get the error from phpMyAdmin as follows:
Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration
Also, phpMyAdmin documentation explains this error message as follows:
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions
called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP
distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded
dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll.
phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. Usually, the
problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL"
or something similar.
Finally, the apache_error.log file has the following PHP warnings (see the mySQL warning):
PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Optimizer in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Zend Platform does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Platform in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Zend Debug Server does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Debug Server in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: gd wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of gd wrapper in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: java wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of java wrapper in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: mysql wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of mysql wrapper in Unknown on line 0
So, for some reason PHP is not recognizing the mysql extension.
Anyone know why? Any solution or workaround?
I deleted the PHP in program files ad everything started working , the problem that there two installations of pHp
I tried many solutions, and none worked for me. I tried the following solutions:
Restart wampserver
Reinstall wampserver
restart machine
and all other solutions mentioned in this question.
However, none of these worked. Then I found that my PHPMyAdmin was not working in chrome and was working in firefox. So I tried clearing cache, restarting browser etc, but still it would not work.
Then I deleted all the files from C:\wamp\tmp and then tried again, and it works. I am not sure why it works, but here is what I think. The session was cached and not getting cleared. So as soon as I deleted all files in this directory all the sessions were deleted and hence it worked fine.
First, make sure that the php.ini file is loading the mysqli extension.
If you are using WAMPServer, click on the icon in the system tray, go to PHP -> PHP Extensions and make sure it is checked. If not, go into the php.ini file and make sure that the line: extension=php_mysqli.dll is uncommented (eg, remove the ; if it exists). If that line does not exist, add it.
If this still does not work, double check that the right php.ini file is being loaded.
To do so, view your phpinfo() (Here for WAMPServer). Scroll down to the Loaded Configuration File row and see which php.ini is being loaded.Make sure it is the right file. If you're using WAMPServer, it should be(WAMP INSTALL FOLDER)\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini. By default, it isC:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini`.
If a different php.ini file is being loaded, just rename it to something else so that PHP will try and find the file somewhere else. There should be a way to specify which on eyou want to use, but I forget exactly how to do that...
If this still doesn't work... Try messing around with phpMyAdmin's settings, or using another answer, but I'm afraid I can't help beyond this.
I was running WAMP with two PHP versions 1) 5.2.9 and 2) 5.2.13.
As per site requirement i needed to change PHP version to 5.2.9 from 5.2.13. after swapping PHP version, error was "mysqli extension is missing". after debugging long time i get to know it was due to wrong "extension_dir" path in php.ini file.
So i changed its value:
Old: "extension_dir" c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.13/ext/
New: "extension_dir" c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.9/ext/
Restarted All services in wamp server, then it's fixed.
I had the same problem. I had WAMP server installed. All was working fine. Then one day I restarted my computer and it just stopped working! I tried desperately going through all help posts and doing them but nothing worked.
What they usually suggest you do is, first go to your php.ini file and make sure your 'extension_dir' is properly set. Then to make sure these two lines are not commented (remove the ; infront):
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Then some suggested that I download fresh copies of these two files but none worked. I also tried uninstalling everything (php/mysql/apache) and reinstalled fresh copies of WAMP server several times but with no luck.
Finally I managed to find an alternative solution. I switched to 'easyphp' (http://www.easyphp.org/). This is something very similar to WAMP. First I made backups of my sql databases so I can reload them on the new installation.
Then I installed 'easyphp' and everything seems to work fine. I reloaded my sql databases from my backup and now things are back to normal.
I hope someone suffering from a similar prob. will find this useful. If someone has really found a fix to make WAMP server work. Pls do be kind enough to post it here so many will benefit.
in wampserver go to php.ini. open the file and uncomment extension=msql.dll by removing semicolon(;) for respective operating sytem.
Just add in your php.ini:
[PHP_MCRYPT]
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
[PHP_MYSQL]
extension=php_mysql.dll
[PHP_MYSQLI]
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Also setup the mysql password:
SET PASSWORD FOR root#localhost=PASSWORD('your_password');
And the phpmyadmin mysql password in config.inc.php:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password';
Had the same problem, with wamp. Try to exchange your current version of php.ini with a backup. There is one in: wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0phpForApache.txt. Worked for me.
Just wanted to chime in on this one. Using Wamp Server 2.0, and using Zend Studio with Zend debugger for development.
I wasn't able as of yet (will get back to it at some point) to get the zend debugger working with php 5.3. So in wamp I loaded an earlier php version, 5.2.11. I was getting the same error when acessing php my admin.
What I had to do was change the php.ini file value for "extension_dir" to c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.11/ext/ to match the version of php I was using. After that it was all good.
I had this problem and spent 2 hours trying all the solutions online, none worked.
Tried this, and it woked:
Change
mysql.default_host =
to
mysql.default_host = localhost
and restart WAMP. pay attention if you are using mysqli or not.
I had the same error. When I increased the script memory size and enabled E_ALL then restarted the server, I got that error in phpmyadmin. All I had to do to fix it was restart my computer!
I got this problem for a long time. Tried all I've read on forums and this finally worked for me:
Open your php.ini (I assume you've got the good one that is loaded...) and find this line
mysqli.default_port = 3306
change for
mysqli.default_port = 80
Restart all services
Go to localhost/phpmyadmin -> won't work
Reopen the php.ini file and retype this
mysqli.default_port = 3306
Restart all services
Worked for me.
For me worked this, after searching all logs/internet/every non-normal things.
You have to register dl by:
Through application:
WAMP -> PHP settings -> enable dl
or
# php.ini #
; Whether or not to enable the dl() function. The dl() function does NOT work
; properly in multithreaded servers, such as IIS or Zeus, and is automatically
; disabled on them.
; http://php.net/enable-dl
enable_dl = On
I have just installed WampServer, and faced same problem. I have found solution, that works for me, it is ridiculously simple.
Disable PHP extension php_mysqli.
Restart WampServer, visit local phpmyadmin.
Enable php_mysqli back.
Repeat step 2.
After few page refreshes, remaining errors plates (about MySQL and sqli) had gone.
i tried hard by
installing the wamp again and again,
by checking the php.ini file,
by restarting the machine,
by replacing the index.php file,
but none works.
then i go to the wamp/temp and deleted all files and it works fine now.
I had path variable in windows set to some random version of php.
The fix was to update it and set it to the folder within my wampserver installation:
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.38
Then I realized this is wrong also for my specific case, and I should actually be running the script from within vagrant. Live and learn.
I had this issue because of a different reason:
Check the PHP Error Log(Get from the Wamp Tray -> PHP -> PHP Error Log.
I had a syntax error in the php.ini file while I was editing the file.
Check the log and clear the error. This will open your PhpMyAdmin properly.
Check your phpForApache.ini file's extensions. This file should be same as your php.ini file.
