Unable to install Phalcon 3.0 on CentOS 7 + PHP 7

Hello,

I'm trying to install Phalcon 3.0 on a server running CentOS 7, Apache 2.4 and PHP 7 (FastCGI).

I followed up the instructions provided by the official documentation, Phalcon is installed on my server successfully, the extension is enabled on php.ini configuration but when I run phpinfo() it doesn't show phalcon as an active extension.

I found following error message in php-fpm error logs:

PHP message: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/phalcon.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/phalcon.so: undefined symbol: php_json_decode_ex in Unknown on line 0

This message appears everytime I restart php-fpm service.

Could you please help to fix this issue?

Regards,

Velizar

  1. Install php70u-json

    yum install -y php70u-json

  2. Create 50-phalcon.ini

    cd /etc/php.d

    vi 50-phalcon.ini

    extension = phalcon.so

  3. Restart apache

    systemctl restart httpd

php -m
