Ubuntu pecl install pecl_http fail

Question

I\'m trying to install this extension but it fails in the configuration phase. I\'m on ubuntu 12.04 and I have just installed these packages:

• libcurl3-openssl-

Answer 1

On Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS this worked for me:

First install some prerequisites needed for compilation:

sudo apt-get install php-http
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl3
sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo pecl install raphf 
sudo pecl install pecl_http-1.7.6

after that go to the folder /usr/lib/php5/modules and check if the libraries are there: raphf.so, propro.so and http.so.

If your php.ini (at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini) does not contain these extensions, add them:

extension=http.so
extension=propro.so
extension=raphf.so

or using the absolute path to the files, e.g. extension=/usr/lib/php5/modules/http.so.

And as last step restart your webserver, thus loading the new configuration:

sudo service apache2 reload

Answer 2

You need to install php-raphf from your package manager.

for me i installed the module using the following. In your case you should be able to switch out yum for apt-get.

sudo yum install php-raphf
sudo yum install php-propro
sudo pecl install pecl_http

The you will need to add extension = http.so to your php.ini file. But it looks like you have already done that.

pecl does not actually install the .so file that you are looking for.

Answer 3

Just to add to @mschuett's answer, I found that when I got the same error as the OP that changing my extension reference in the php.ini did the trick.

extension=raphf.so

to

extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/raphf.so

then

sudo pecl install pecl_http

Also setting the following will keep you from having to hand edit your php.ini file when a pecl installation wants to modify it:

pear config-set php_ini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
pecl config-set php_ini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

NOTE: This worked for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Answer 4

run command

1. sudo yum install php-raphf

   • sudo yum install php-propro

2. sudo pecl install pecl_http

3. etc/phph5/apache2/conf.d

add two file

• raphf.ini

add content

extension=raphf.so

solr.ini

add content

extension=raphf.so

add in php.ini file

extension=http.so extension=propro.so extension=raphf.so or extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/raphf.so extension=solr.so

Answer 5

if you have ubuntu 13 or 14, try pecl install pecl_http-1.7.6 as newer versions still do not load for some reason.

Answer 6

I bump into this issue while trying to install pecl_http-2.6.0, raphf-1.1.2 and propro-1.0.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 and php-fpm5.6. I can't use apt to install raphf and propro (as @mschuett suggested) because apt can only install raphf 2.0.0 and propro 2.1.0 which works only for PHP 7.

I resolve the problem with the following steps without needing to update the php.ini nor using apt.

First of all, to get php-fpm to load a new extension, an .ini file must be added to /etc/php/5.6/mods-available. Then use phpenmod to enable the extension.

So to install and enable raphf-1.1.2,

$ pecl install raphf-1.1.2
$ echo "extension=raphf.so" >> /etc/php/5.6/mods-available
$ phpenmod raphf

Note that you might need sudo for these commands.

Similarly, for propro-1.0.2

$ pecl install raphf-1.0.2
$ echo "extension=raphf.so" >> /etc/php/5.6/mods-available
$ phpenmod raphf

If you use php -m to view all the loaded extensions, you should see raphf and propro in the list.

Now you can install pecl_http-2.6.0 with

$ pecl install pecl_http-2.6.0

The installation should complete successfully.

$ pecl list
Installed packages, channel pecl.php.net:
=========================================
Package   Version State
pecl_http 2.6.0   stable
propro    1.0.2   stable
raphf     1.1.2   stable

If you are using pecl like me, you might see warning such as:

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/pecl_http-2.6.0
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=http.so" to php.ini

which happens because the php_ini config of my pear and pecl aren't set.
