I could find the pgsql.ini file in /etc/php.d/ directory. still the php.info page is not showing the pgsql details.

please check my error_log file

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

So my instalation was not added the pgsql.so file in the right place. I dont know how to sove this issue. please help, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

finally i solved the issue..

The package instalation was actually done to the DIR PATH

/usr/lib64/php/modules/pgsql.so

I ensured it with the command

rpm -ql php-pgsql

from the PHP config file i found the exact PHP Module path. by moving the pgsql.so file into the location made the module enabled for PHP.
