Problem with .so files on PHP

[kawonice]

Good Day,

Please I have this issue with my wordpress website and when I checked on my error_log, I found this error clogging the whole log

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/mbstring.so' - /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/mbstring.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Initially when I upgraded my website's PHP version from 5.6 to 7.3/7.4. I do lock me out, so I have to change the version back to PHP 5.6 again to make the site run again, but I later noticed that sometimes the website get hanged and then I decided to check the error log and I saw tons of file with .so extension problem.

Please what do I need to do?
And I want to actually upgrade my PHP version to PHP 7.3 or PHP 7.4. What do I need to do?

It looks like the issue is that mbstring isn't added for php 7.4 - you'd need to add this through WHM>>Software>>EasyApache 4 or by running the following:

yum -y install ea-php74-php-mbstring.x86_64

Was there a specific issue on PHP 7.3?

 

[kawonice]

There was issue on all the PHP 7.1+ series, one I activate them on MultiPHP Manager, the site will lock me out automatically until I revert back to earlier version PHP 5.6.

Let me post all the files affected

I am really tired of the whole thing as at now.

What do you mean by lock you out? Can you explain errors you're receiving specifically? What's noted in the apache error logs when this happens? You can find it at /etc/apache2/logs/error_log

Let me post all the files affected

All of those are modules associated with PHP 5.6 - do you have the corresponding modules installed for PHP 5.6? This can be seen in WHM>>Software>>EasyApache4 -> Customize under your current profile.

Thanks for your prompt reply,

The error log I noted in the apache log file is extracted below. I just picked out this ones. It is so voluminous but they bear similar resemblance to the below

I installed all the modules or is there anything that I am doing wrong. When some pages are loaded it just throws up Error 500 (Internal Server Error).
Please I need serious assistance.

 

[cPanelLauren]

None of these errors seem to be related. Are you indicating that you did install the modules for PHP 5.6? Really I'd be more concerned about what is happening specifically when you switch to PHP 7.4 - lets focus on that?

So when you switch and you "get locked out" can you show me the errors output in the apache error log for that?

The only one of these That I believe would cause you to be unable to view the site would be the redirect issue - is the site redirected to another site? But both of these would occur regardless of PHP version as far as I am aware.

That is the issue when I switch to PHP 5.6, i could access the site, the only issue that I experience on the site is that when people tends to navigate to some pages after some time it will just freeze and continue loading until you go back to the home page.
But when I check the error log file on the public_html, i found the issue to be related to mysql soap files about 9 of them that I posted at the beginning of this thread. However despite that I am able to enter into the site. But on switching to any of the PHP 7 version the only thing I see on the site is

"There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions."
On checking the error log file on the public_html I found that they also have related issue as below, with only 5 (.so) files affected

Could it be a database issue?

 

[cPanelLauren]

No it looks like you don't have the correct modules installed on PHP 7.4 what is the output of the following:

rpm -qa |egrep 'mysqlnd|pdo|wddx|mcrypt'|grep php74

 

[kawonice]

Thanks,

The reply is
ea-php74-php-pdo-7.4.5-3.3.1.cpanel.x86_64
ea-php74-php-mysqlnd-7.4.5-3.3.1.cpanel.x86_64

 

[cPanelLauren]

I did forget to mention that mcrypt is not available for PHP 7.4 right now, are these modules being called from the .htaccess or the php.ini file in the domain's document root? You have mysqlnd for php 7.4 so there shouldn't be an issue with it being recognized, mcrypt and wddx aren't available (mcrypt just not on 7.4 and wddx not available in general)
