Installing Phalcon PHP Devtools: "ERROR: Phalcon extension isn't installed ..." though the module is installed
devtools, installation, phalcon, php, php-extension
Solution
The answer to both questions (1. Why do I get an error? and 2. Why `php --modules` doesn't show the module, though `phpinfo()` (in browser) does?) is the same: I enabled the module for FPM, but didn't do this for the CLI.
$ ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/phalcon.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-phalcon.ini
Now it works!
Problem
After some days ago I installed `Phalcon PHP`, I am more and more exited about it. Now I want to try the `Phalcon Devtools` out. I've just installed it like in the `installation manual via Composer` (for Linux) shown. But when I try to execute the `phalcon` command, I get an error: ``` $ phalcon commands ERROR: Phalcon extension isn't installed, follow these instructions to install it: http://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/install.html ``` What can be the problem? (Environment: `Debian GNU/Linux 7.4 (wheezy)`, `PHP 5.5.11-1`). Additional information: I installed Phalcon PHP like in the docu shown: ``` $ apt-get install php5-dev libpcre3-dev gcc make php5-mysql $ git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git $ cd cphalcon/build $ ./install ``` Since it seemed to not work, I tried it with ``` $ cd cphalon/build/64bits $ export CFLAGS="-O2 --fvisibility=hidden" $ ./configure --enable-phalcon $ make && make install ``` After that the module was compiled and the `phalcon.so` created in the PHP modules direcroty `/usr/lib/php5/20121212`. Then I created the `INI` file `/etc/php5/mods-available/phalcon.ini` (with content `extension=phalcon.so`) manually and enabled it with a symlink: `ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/phalcon.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-phalcon.ini`. And after a restart it worked. I created a "Hello World!" application and the module was also displayed in the `phpinfo()` output: But the output of `php --modules` does not contain "phalcon". And the output of `get_loaded_extensions()` does not contain it as well. Why?
