Module 'ssh2' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Question

I use the functions below to copy files from one server to another. It works most of the time, but sometimes I start getting this error in log files:

Module          


        

Answer 1

If the above does not work, take a look inside /etc/php5/conf.d

If you see duplicate ssh2.ini files, remove any extra ones.

In my case I had 50-ssh2.ini and ss2.ini. Both files were providing the line:

extension=ssh2.so

For me removing 50-ssh2.ini solved the issue.

Answer 2

The error message Module 'ssh2' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 means that there's something off in your PHP configuration. Check to see if there's a line that says extension=ssh2.so in your php.ini. If so, remove it and check if everything is still working. Possibly, the extension=ssh2.so is loaded twice, meaning PHP will complain that the module is already loaded.

Good luck.

Answer 3

In my case, I commented out the one line in ssh2.ini located here: /etc/php5/mods-available/ssh2.ini

The content of this file now is as follow:

;extension=ssh2.so

Thanks!
