Imagick disappeared after a reboot

[vpswing]

We're currently running v86.0.18 of cPanel. Before that, there was the link/message asking to reboot for the new updates to take effect. After the reboot, ImageMagick disappeared.

ImageMagick installed
[root@host2 centos]# rpm -qa|grep ImageMagick
ImageMagick-6.9.10.68-3.el7.x86_64
ImageMagick-devel-6.9.10.68-3.el7.x86_64

Module is "loaded" via the zzzzzzz-pecl.ini file
[root@host2 centos]# cat /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.d/zzzzzzz-pecl.ini
extension="imagick.so"

[root@host2 centos]# cat /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.d/zzzzzzz-pecl.ini
extension="imagick.so"

Checking for the module
[root@host2 centos]# /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/bin/php -m |grep -i pdo
PDO
pdo_mysql
pdo_sqlite
[root@host2 centos]# /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/bin/php -m |grep -i image
<nothing is shown>

*same when running: [root@host2 centos]# /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/bin/php -m |grep -i image

I also restarted httpd and viewed the web page with "phpinfo()" code - also nothing.

What are we missing ?? Would appreciate any pointers or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this. The ImageMagick was working perfectly until the reboot.

 

[vpswing]

Found a solution, although I still don't know what went wrong. Basically, I had to uninstall Imagick, remove the cache and reinstall again, i.e.

/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/bin/pecl uninstall imagick
rm -rf /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/var/cache/php-pear/*
/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/bin/pecl install imagick

That seems to fix the issue.

But why Imagick disappeared (or rather, not loaded) in the first place is still a mystery. It is loaded in the /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.d/zzzzzzz-pecl.ini file.
If anyone can shed a clue, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

A reboot shouldn't do this. Was anything noted in the yum logs at /var/log/yum.log?

My guess it has something to do with the Centos 7.8 update which would likely be the reason for the reboot.

They list "ImageMagick has been rebased from 6.7.8 to 6.9.10" under their Major Issues.

"Red Hat have updated the ImageMagick package from 6.7.8 to 6.9.10 and some things in third party yum repos that build against it will need to be rebuilt to cater for this."

Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7.2003 - CentOS Wiki

If this is affecting Pecl extensions then cPanel may need to do something to auto-fix the issue if it is happening to everyone.

We just had a case open for this I found it while looking for the issue. It's a UPS case meaning it's upstream and we're tracking it. It's not an issue we have any control over but the resolution is to uninstall and reinstall the module. We have the following support article cPanel support - CentOS 7.8 Updates and ImageMagick

Some if not all may need to do the uninstall / install of the imagick pecl via the shell since currently the module installer GUI is broken in regard to showing installed pecls to be able to uninstall.

See: In Progress - [CPANEL-32206] No PHP PECL(s) installed

 

[cPanelLauren]

The instructions in the link provided gives the steps to uninstall/reinstall via the command line - furthermore, you can install via the interface, that's not ever been the issue, it's just not going to show in the interface until that issue is resolved though they function normally.

Thanks, that makes sense!
