Cannot load Zend OPcache - it was already loaded


Recommended Posts

We are running our Moodle server on AWS using the Ubuntu 18.04 bionic AMI. Almost twice a second we are getting the message "Cannot load Zend OPcache - it was already loaded" in /var/log/apache2/error.log. We have them set up in auto-scaling groups to spin up or down with workload.

PHP 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 (cli) (built: Apr 8 2020 15:45:57) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.4, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

Our php version is 7.2. I've looked around quite a bit and most people are getting this error due to having 2 versions of opcache.ini in /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d but this isn't the case for me:

ls /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d 10-opcache.ini 20-apcu_bc.ini 20-curl.ini 20-ftp.ini 20-igbinary.ini 20-mbstring.ini 20-posix.ini 20-simplexml.ini 20-sysvsem.ini 20-xmlreader.ini 20-zip.ini 10-pdo.ini 20-bcmath.ini 20-dom.ini 20-gd.ini 20-intl.ini 20-pdo_pgsql.ini 20-readline.ini 20-soap.ini 20-sysvshm.ini 20-xmlrpc.ini 15-xml.ini 20-calendar.ini 20-exif.ini 20-gettext.ini 20-json.ini 20-pgsql.ini 20-redis.ini 20-sockets.ini 20-tokenizer.ini 20-xmlwriter.ini 20-apcu.ini 20-ctype.ini 20-fileinfo.ini 20-iconv.ini 20-ldap.ini 20-phar.ini 20-shmop.ini 20-sysvmsg.ini 20-wddx.ini 20-xsl.ini

How else can I troubleshoot this? It has been spamming the logs for quite a while. Let me know if there is any other relevant info I can add.

Actually, before that,
You're having the problem through Apache but you were looking at the CLI configuration files. You need to look in /etc/php/7.2/apache2 (I think) for the appropriate configuration files.

But if you still don't see it there, first grep through /etc/php/7.2/apache2. There should not be many results at all. Look for references to the INI file or the extension's .so.
The next place would be /etc/apache2 in case someone put PHP configuration settings in there.
After that comes your website's configuration.

Thanks for the response!

 

I'm looking in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/ and here is the list of files, looks like the linking to /etc/php/7.2/mods-available:

And here are the contents of opcache.ini

/etc/php/7.2/mods-available$ cat opcache.ini

And here is what I get when I do a grep -r 'opcache' . of the php directory

sudo grep -r 'opcache' /etc/apache2/ returned no results

 

And just for kicks

/etc/php/7.2$ sudo grep -r 'opcache.so' .
./mods-available/opcache.ini:zend_extension=opcache.so
./apache2/php.ini:zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/20170718/opcache.so

There's the problem. Your distro manages PHP extensions with the INI files, where opcache is enabled, but there's also a modification to your php.ini to load it again.

Open up php.ini and remove the zend_extension line. Then look nearby for other edits that also don't belong in that file.

I think you're right! That file it is pointing to no longer exists and I should comment it out. I will have to wait a couple weeks because this is finals week for our students and we absolutely cannot make changes on production until grading it done. I will keep this page up and comment when I am able to change it and confirm.

 

Thank you so much, you are a wizard!

Correct, it's pointing to a file that must have been there years ago but is no longer there. Commenting out that line fixed the message from spamming us! Thank you so much!
