How to load custom PHP extension for each website?

aaP_anbent

I am looking to move away from cPanel and use aaPanel. I run several complex websites which require custom PHP extensions. In cPanel, it was quite simple to load these on a per-website basis, which is what I need, by specifying them in php.ini in the root of each website. With aaPanel, we have the .user.ini file to specify PHP options, which are working. However, if I specify a custom PHP extension here then it never loads it or even appears to attempt to load it. There are no errors at all in the logs, or not that I can see.

Is this even possible with aaPanel, or can they only be loaded by the main php.ini file?

Hello, you can't set the PHP of the website separately. The same version of PHP has only one php.ini

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me bu I think you have misunderstood. I do NOT want to change the PHP version. Every website will be running the same version, as is currently managed in aaPanel. However, each website requires PHP extensions which are made by me. Most of these PHP extensions ARE used across different websites. However, in some cases, I require a different version between some websites.

In cPanel, this was fine, as I could load PHP extensions as specified in the user INI file. However, in aaPanel, it appears that any "extension" directives are being ignored. I have even tried entering erroneous PHP extensions, and no errors are reported anywhere. Or not anywhere that I can see. The .user.ini file IS definitely working as I have other things configured in there which work. So, it definitely looks like any "extension" directives are just being ignored.

Running phpinfo does NOT show it as having loaded any of the extensions I have specified. I have also ensured that all dependencies are present too.

Hello, the main panel can only use the same configuration at the moment. If it is a sub-panel (account) you can use the same version of PHP to use a different php.ini
At the same time, aaPanel does not support extensions installed using the yum/apt command

Hi. Thanks again for getting back to me. But I still do not think you are understanding me. I will try to be clearer.

I am fine with using the same version of PHP for all of my websites. This is not in question.

However, I need some websites to load a specific PHP extension, which I have created myself. Is it possible to load a PHP extension using the .user.ini file?

These extensions are made my me. So, they are NOT installed using yum/apt.

In theory, I could load these extensions using the main php.ini. However, that would then load those extensions for ALL the websites on the server, which is not what I want. I need to load specific ones for each website.

Hello, I have clearly told you that this cannot be done in the main panel. If you use a sub-panel (Account mun) you can do this
