Allow php5 json_decode function in a chrooted environment

Thomas_Lartaud

New Pleskian
Hi there,

I'm Running Plesk 12 latest version.

I've been partially followed that instructions to add php5 to a chrooted environment with success :
http://kb.odin.com/fr/115842
Code:
bash-4.3$ php --version
PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.5 (cli) (built: Oct 29 2014 11:59:10)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

This is how i did it, as root user :
Code:
./chroot_update.sh --add /usr/lib/php5

mkdir /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share
cp -a /usr/share/zoneinfo /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share

php -i | grep extension_dir
# returns : /usr/lib/php5/20121212/

for f in /usr/lib/php5/20121212/*.so ; do ./chroot_update.sh --add $f ; done

mkdir /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib/php5/20121212
cp -a /usr/lib/php5 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib

mkdir /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/include
cp -a /usr/include/php5 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/include

cd /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib/ && ln -s php5 php

This is a command that require the missing json module :
Code:
bash-4.3$ composer install

Fatal error: Call to undefined function Composer\Console\json_decode() in phar:///usr/local/bin/composer/src/Composer/Console/Application.php on line 127

I also tried to add 'extension=json.so' to my domain PHP additonal directive on Plesk Host Panel, with no effect.

Listing chroots directories :
Code:
root@vps:/var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib# ls -al /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib

ah ok, i've fixed it by copying the ini files for php5-cli. For json, it was :
Code:
cp /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini /var/www/vhosts/chroot/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini
