autoload of php modules fails

Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5-common

the package installs as follows:

/usr/lib/php5/
/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs
/usr/lib/php5/build
/usr/lib/php5/libexec

in /etc/php5/conf.d are the ini files to load the modules

php fails on the first ini file and does not load any modules

it is my belief that the "+" in the folder name is the issue

steps to reproduce
install php5, php5-common, and php5-(modules) from apt and run a script with phpinfo()

steps to resolve
i created symbolic link /usr/lib/php5/ext -> /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs
i modified /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini: changed "extension_dir" from not defined to "/usr/lib/php5/ext"
restarted apache
all modules now loaded successfully

Sorry for long delay. I am a bug triager trying to make sure bug information is complete and still up to date.

Although /usr/lib/php5 still contains 20060613+lfs on Gutsy, making an /var/www/apache2-default with an index.php with phpinfo().
I did look through the modules, then added php5-mysql and php5-imagick, /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, then look again the web page
and observed that imagick and mysql modules was there.

I did not try your proposed changes.
So it seems to me that your bug don't exist anymore on Gutsy, but if you could try (maybe just with Tribe-2 CD), we could confirm that
Gutsy is correct.

seems that they fixed the bug in the apt package, because i have since re-installed php5 on feisty and everything works without my previous fix, however, i did a ls -la on /usr/lib/php5 and noticed that a symlink DOES exist:

root@bphome:/usr/lib/php5# ls -la
total 88
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-05-24 15:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 145 root root 69632 2007-06-29 00:40 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-05-06 11:17 20060613 -> 20060613+lfs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-05-24 15:29 20060613+lfs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-04-26 08:30 libexec
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 278 2007-05-22 12:06 maxlifetime

and here is output from php -i
extension_dir => /usr/lib/php5/20060613 => /usr/lib/php5/20060613

so i could have been right about the "+" in the original ini config, but they have put in a remedy i guess.

In Gutsy, the symlink is gone, but paul@Arcturus:/usr/lib/php5$ php -i|grep extension_dir
extension_dir => /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs => /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs

Ok, making this bug Invalid. (I suppose the bug have been fixed on Debian and imported in Ubuntu)
That was a good bug report, please continue to fill bugs!
