Default PHP modules are not applied to new accounts.

If default PHP modules are not being applied to new accounts in your server environment, there might be a configuration issue. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Check Default PHP Configuration:

    Verify that the default PHP configuration on your server includes the necessary modules. This configuration is typically set in the php.ini file. Check if the required modules are enabled and properly configured.

  2. Check Hosting Panel Defaults:

    If you're using a hosting panel like cPanel, Plesk, or another control panel, ensure that the default PHP settings defined in the panel include the required modules. These settings can sometimes override the server-wide defaults.

  3. Verify Account Creation Settings:

    Check the settings or configurations for creating new accounts. There might be an option or flag that specifies which PHP modules should be enabled by default for new accounts.

  4. Review Resource Limits:

    Ensure that there are no resource limits (such as memory limits) set for new accounts that could be affecting the loading of default modules.

  5. Check for Custom Scripts or Hooks:

    If you have custom scripts or hooks in place for creating new accounts, review them to ensure they're not overriding the default PHP module settings.

  6. Examine Permission and Ownership:

    Verify that the necessary files and directories related to PHP are accessible and have the correct permissions and ownership for new accounts.

  7. Restart Web Server:

    After making changes to PHP settings, restart the webserver to apply the changes:

    bash
sudo systemctl restart apache2 # On Apache
bash
  1. sudo systemctl restart php-fpm # On Nginx with PHP-FPM
  2. Clear Cache (if applicable):

    If your server environment uses any kind of caching mechanism (e.g., opcode caching), make sure to clear the cache after making changes to PHP configurations.

  3. Test on a New Account:

    Create a test account and observe if the default PHP modules are applied correctly. This will help confirm if the issue is specific to new accounts or a system-wide problem.

  4. Consult Hosting Panel Documentation:

    Review the documentation of your hosting panel to see if there are any specific instructions or recommendations for setting default PHP modules for new accounts.

  5. Contact Hosting Support:

    If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your hosting provider's support team for assistance. They may have specific insights into your environment and configuration.

Remember to back up any critical data and configurations before making significant changes to your server's PHP settings.
