PHP Unable to load dynamic library for all CageFS enabled users

When PHP is unable to load dynamic libraries for CageFS-enabled users, it could be due to a misconfiguration or permission issue. Here are steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Check PHP Configuration:

    Verify that the dynamic library you're trying to load is installed in the correct directory and properly configured in your PHP configuration file (php.ini).

  2. Verify Library Paths:

    Ensure that the dynamic library paths are correct in the php.ini file. This is specified by the extension_dir directive. It should point to the directory containing PHP extensions.

  3. Check File Permissions:

    Confirm that the dynamic library files have the correct permissions and are accessible by the PHP process. They should typically be owned by the user and group that the web server runs as.

  4. Verify CageFS Configuration:

    Ensure that CageFS is not causing any restrictions or conflicts with loading dynamic libraries. Check CageFS configurations to see if it's allowing the necessary libraries to be loaded.

  5. Check CageFS Mount Points:

    Verify that the necessary directories for PHP extensions are mounted in CageFS. This includes the directory specified in extension_dir.

  6. Review Open Basedir Restrictions:

    If you have open_basedir restrictions in place, make sure that the directory containing the dynamic libraries is allowed.

  7. Check PHP Handler Configuration:

    If you're using multiple PHP versions or handlers, ensure that the configurations are correctly set up in your server environment.

  8. Check PHP Error Logs:

    Review the PHP error logs for any messages related to the inability to load dynamic libraries. This may provide more insight into the specific issue.

  9. Rebuild CageFS:

    After making changes to the CageFS configuration, you need to rebuild CageFS for the changes to take effect:

    bash

 

  • cagefsctl --remount-all
  • Restart Web Server:

    After making changes, restart your web server to apply the configurations:

    • For Apache:

      bash
  • sudo service apache2 restart
  • For Nginx:

    bash
  • sudo service nginx restart
  • For LiteSpeed:

    bash

 

    • sudo service lsws restart
  1. Contact CloudLinux Support:

    If the issue persists, consider reaching out to CloudLinux support for further assistance. They may have specific recommendations or solutions for PHP and CageFS-related issues.

Always proceed with caution when making changes to your server configuration, and ensure that you have backups available before making significant modifications.
