Resolved PHP SMB Client

J

James Mountfield

New Pleskian
Hi

I have been using NextCloud with Plesk and all works good - apart from the mount external storage.

From what I can see it is that SMB PHP is not available to the website hosted within plesk, I can connect from the Plesk Command Line to the SMB share but not from the website hosted.

Any advice on enabling PHP SMB for the website?

Thanks in advance.
 
Please use following instruction. It is for PHP7.2 version but you can adapt it for your PHP version as well:

# yum install gcc make plesk-php72-devel libsmbclient-devel
# /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/pecl install smbclient
# echo "extension=smbclient.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.2/etc/php.d/smbclient.ini
# plesk bin php_handler --reread

As result:

# /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php -m | grep smbcli
libsmbclient
smbclient
 
Hi,
i become a error after i need install smbclient or php7.3-smbclient

Code:

My instruction was written for rpm-based operating systems, in particular for CentOS. For deb-based operating systems, like Debian or Ubuntu, package most often have different names. For example, instead of name-devel, name-dev is used.

Thank you very much that was the gol :)

For successors who do it wrong because they use debian or ubuntu;

# ap-get install gcc make plesk-php74-dev libsmbclient-dev
# /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/pecl install smbclient
# echo "extension=smbclient.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.4/etc/php.d/smbclient.ini
# plesk bin php_handler --reread

As result:

# /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php -m | grep smbcli
libsmbclient
smbclient
