Swoolec Loader

Use PHP7.3
Install it if not exist

Use php7.3 as default php

Check

TO ENABLE PHP 7.3 ON NGINX SERVER, PLS DO (MAKE SURE APACHE2 IS STOPPED IF IT’S RUNNING AND START NGINX):

IMPORTANT! ALSO NEED TO INSTALL php7.3-dev. THIS IS NEEDED WHEN I NEED TO COMPILE swoole SOURCE

CHECK php-config SOULD POINT TO php7.3

THE NGINX MAIN CONFIG IN /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
THE DEFAULT VIRTUALHOST IN /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
EDIT IT TO ENABLE PARSING PHP FILE:

Use php7.3-fpm for fastcgi_pass

THEN CHANGE PHP7.3-FPM SETTING:

CHANGE THE CONTENT:

THEN RESTART PHP7.3-FPM SERVICE:

CHECK NGINX SYNTAX: sudo nginx -t
RESTART NGINX: sudo service nginx restart
OPEN IT: http://localhost:8080/phpinfo.php (NEED TO CLEAR THE BROWSER CACHE FIRST)

INSTALL swoole FOR PHP7.3
IF YOU ALREADY INSTALLED IT FOR PHP7.2, YOU NEED TO REMOVE/UNINSTALL IT.
NOTE: TO UNINSTAL IT, USE PHP7.2 VERSION ON TERMINAL NOT PHP7.3
FIRST COMMENT IT from the cli php.ini and php-fpm php.ini files.

THEN

THEN DO THE SAME FOR php-fpm php.ini file (sudo gedit /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini).
USE pecl TO UNINSTALL IT

NOTE: IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT TO DELETE/REMOVE swoole.so FILE IN /usr/lib/php/20170718/swoole.so MANUALLY. BECAUSE PHP7.3 USE EXTENSION DIR IN /usr/lib/php/20180731, MAKE SURE IF ALREADY EXIST swoole.so IN IT. REMOVE IT MANUALLY AS WELL!
NOTE: I TRIED TO INSTALL swoole 4.4.5 FROM SOURCE & COMPILE IT (READ: https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src) BUT ALWAYS FAILED AND GOT THIS ERROR

I THINK THIS IS BECAUSE I MIXED THE INSTALLATION (FROM pecl AND FROM SOURCE) THEN FORGOT TO INSTALL php7.3-dev AND FORGOT TO REMOVE swoole.so MANUALLY IN /usr/lib/php/20180731/swoole.so

THEN INSTALL SWOOLE ON PHP7.3 TERMINAL
MAKE SURE THE PHP API VERSION FOR PHP7.3 IS ‘20180731’ NOT ‘20170718’

Then include the extension “extension=swoole.so” in php.ini file. For php-fpm, the php.ini file in “/etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini”

then add this new line:

Save then restart php7.3-fpm service

look it up phpinfo() result. It should show like this:THEN IN CLI

ADD loader73.so FILE.
Copy it manually (USE SUDO) TO php7.3 EXTENSION DIR (IN /usr/lib/php/20180731)

THEN ADD THE EXTENSION ‘loader73.so’ IN php.ini FILE. For php-fpm, the php.ini file in “/etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini”

THEN ADD:

PLS DO THE SAME IN php.ini FOR CLI IN /etc/php/7.3/cli/php.ini
THEN RESTART php7.3-fpm SERVICE

CHECK THE EXTENSION IN phpinfo (http://localhost:8080/phpinfo.php)
IT SHOULD SHOW LIKE THISCHECK IN CLI

WE ALSO NEED TO DISABLE xdebug EXTENSION. CHECK IF xdebug IS ENABLED

THEN I NEED TO DISABLE IT.

THEN DISABLE xdebug BY ADDING ‘;’ IN FRONT OF THE LINE LIKE THIS:

THEN RESTART php7.3-fpm SERVICE

MAKE THERE IS NO MORE WARNING ABOUT xdebug

SAMPLE FILES IN /home/teddy/Downloads/Ptcms_V4.2.8 DIR
IN THE DIR, COPY ‘env.example.php’ TO ‘env.php’ FILE
RUN FROM TERMINAL

THEN I GOT ERROR ABOUT MEMCACHE

MAKE SURE memcached SERVICE IS RUNNING

OR

ALSO CHECK IF memcached EXTENSION IS INSTALLED

IF THERE IS NO OUTPUT, THEN INSTALL IT (REF: https://serverpilot.io/docs/how-to-install-the-php-memcache-extension)

HERE IS THE PROCESS

THEN MODIFY /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini AND /etc/php/7.3/cli/php.ini FILE THEN ADD THE EXTENSION extension=memcached.so
THEN RESTART THE SERVICES
