I recently updated all my Ansible build scripts to PHP7, and shortly after, my built boxes started throwing this annoying error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20151012/apcu.so' - /usr/lib/php/20151012/apcu.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
There’s no indication as to where this acpu.so file is attempted to be loaded from.
I am using an Ubuntu box and all I could find was help for CentOS. Dammit, I have been meaning to make the switch for a while now, but I just haven’t yet found the time.
Anyway, after a bit of Google-fu, I found a quick way to find the file:
$ grep -Ril "apcu.so" /etc/php /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-apcu.ini
And from there, the fix is easy:
$ vim /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-apcu.ini
and inside the file, comment out the line mentioning apcu.so
1 ;extension=apcu.so
Problem solved.
