Question

How to enable Oracle OCI8 extensions for Plesk PHP 7

Answer

Warning: The article is applicable for RHEL/CentOS distributions.

  1. Install devel packages required to build custom PHP 7 modules

    # yum install plesk-php70-devel gcc glibc-devel libmemcached-devel zlib-devel make libaio.x86_64

  2. Download oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm and oracle-instantclient12.1-devel-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm from Oracle OTN and upload it on the server. 

  3. Install oracle-instantclient12* packages:

    # rpm -Uhv oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient12.1-devel-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

  4. Install oci8 package with pecl

    # /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl install oci8-2.2.0

  5. Enable oci8 module in php.ini

    # echo "extension=oci8.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.d/oci.ini

To install oci8 extension for other PHP engines installed via Plesk Installer, install PHP devel package for corresponding PHP version. For example, for PHP 7.2:

# yum install plesk-php72-devel

Note: That gcc, glibc-devel and other packages already installed on the Step 1

Repeat steps 4,5 from the above, just make sure that path is for the current PHP version:

# /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/pecl install oci8-2.2.0

# echo "extension=oci8.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.2/etc/php.d/oci.ini

Check that extension is enabled:

# /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php -m | grep oci
oci8

    Hello,

    Thanks. It works but how can we enable for PHP 7.1 and 7.2 too?

    #/opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/pecl install oci8

    WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update

    Ok. I try for PHP 5.6:

    # yum install plesk-php56-devel gcc glibc-devel libmemcached-devel zlib-devel make libaio.x86_64

    But i've have this result:

    Error downloading packages:
    plesk-php56-devel-5.6.32-centos7.17102712.x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

    @Erwan PHP devel package have to be installed to us pecl tool. The required steps has been added to the article.

    Regarding the second error with PHP5.6, verify that PHP5.6 is installed via Plesk installer. Install/re-install it if necessary and try install plesk-php56-devel
