How to install the OAuth PHP extension for PHP versions provided by Plesk

Question

How to install the OAuth PHP extension?

Answer

Note: In the example below, the OAuth PHP extension is installed for PHP version 7.2 provided by Plesk. For other PHP versions, replace "7.2" with a required PHP version (for example, "5.6" or "7.0"). Use this guide to install additional PHP versions.

1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH.

2. Install components required for OAuth installation:

   • on CentOS/RHEL-based distributions:

     # yum install plesk-php72-devel make gcc php-pear pcre-devel

   • on Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

     Note: On Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions, the apt-transport-https package may be required. See the solution in this KB article.

     # apt-get install plesk-php72-dev gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config

3. Install OAuth:

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

4. Enable the extension:

   # echo extension=oauth.so > /opt/plesk/php/7.2/etc/php.d/oauth.ini

5. Verify that OAuth is now enabled:

   # /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php -m | grep OAuth

6. Refresh information about PHP handlers in Plesk:

   # plesk bin php_handler --reread

   This extension will also appear in Plesk at Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > 7.2 any application.
