"let's quickly compile php by hand and get php-fpm running!"

All is compiled well but I can't, for the love of what-the-fuck-ever figure out how to load extensions within the configuration and the internet isn't helping out much either.

How fucking difficult can this be?!

No worries, PHP, I still love you ❤

Doesnt php-fpm has its own config?

@stop Yup, but I can't set the extension_dir directive there and when including php.INI files it just throws "unknown directive" errors on everything.

@linuxxx i meant php.ini. all distros i use at the company that have php have their php.ini for php-fpm

Perhaps try the read-to-go dockerfile and mount a config?

@alexbrooklyn linuxxx would never seperate himself from php more than needed. He would marry php if he could.

@linuxxx try creating a super basic ini config, and pass it to php-fpm with the -c flag, see if you continue to get errors. You could also see what happens when you run php-fpm -n, which will not use the php.ini. I’m not sure what to expect exactly with that last flag, but might end up giving some helpful output

"quickly"

php.ini

extension=pdo

The extension needs to be in place, of course. PHP has pretty good documentation on how to install and enable extensions.

@kescherRant I know, I regularly do that but I just can't get the config right...

@highlight Yeah it gives errors when I apply that

@linuxxx Then the extensions haven't been installed yet

@kescherRant Yes they have been, some through apt, some through pecl.

@linuxxx pecl seems more reliable to me than apt in that regard. I have had PHP issues on Debian, that's whx I no longer use Debian on new systems.

@kescherRant Decided to migrate and all is good again within half an hour haha
