Resolved Installing the php-extensions mailparse & mbstring

Hey-hooo,

i need to install the mailparse extension in order to get something running in our administration system (not plesk; also doesn't matter to solve the problem haha).

In order to get mailparse running I need mbstring.
So: mbstring is also listed and checked in my phpsettings in plesk under: my-site.com:8443/admin/php-handler/modules/id/plesk-php72-fpm
Just to make sure in the php.ini I also removed the ";" infront of the ";extension=mbstring" so now it is like this: "extension=mbstring".
after that I restarted apache with: "service apache2 restart".

I can confirm, that my php-version (7.2.20) is located under "/opt/plesk/php/7.2/".
I used the command: "/opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/pecl install mailparse" in order to install mailparse.

This is what turns out:

Does anyone have an idea of how to get them both running properly?

Thanks in advance!
 
Make sure that package plesk-php72-mbstring is installed on your server. I compiled mailparse module without any errors.

After entering the command the ssh console replied:
Code:
sudo apt-get install plesk-php72-mbstring

[sudo] password for **MY-USERNAME**:

plesk-php72-mbstring is already the newest version (1:7.2.20-debian.9.190705.1214).

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

So what I did was just trying to modify the command you gave me.

I entered "sudo apt-get install plesk-php72-dev"
-that worked for me so now I could try to install mailparse again.

I will save you from the whole code that was spat out, this is the success message at the bottom:

Code:
Build process completed successfully

Installing '/opt/plesk/php/7.2/lib/php/modules/mailparse.so'

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mailparse-3.0.3

configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location

You should add "extension=mailparse.so" to php.ini

Last thing to do was to go into the php.ini ("/opt/plesk/php/7.2/etc/php.ini) and to write "extension=mailparse.so" somewhere.


Thanks for your help too, buddy!
