opened on Dec 16, 2025

I've just installed the mongodb extension with PIE on a new Deian 13 server, and it puts the 80-mongodb.ini file in /etc/php/8.4/cli/conf.d/ only.

Instead, it should have created /etc/php/8.4/mods-available (as mongodb.ini) and then link it into /etc/php/8.4/cli/conf.d and /etc/php/8.4/fpm/conf.d as 80-mongodb.ini.

    @derickr could you provide very verbose output please? (run with -vv)

    I believe it should be using phpenmod to set up the INI, but maybe it missed something 🤔

    I don't think it's that useful, as it's obviously already installed?

    On a clean machine, with it not being installed:

    You see both mongodb and geospatial being the odd ones out.

    I also do not have a "phpenmod" tool on the system, FWIW.

    Thanks; yeah it uses the same approach as the Ondrej repo it seems, but without the phpenmod tool. Will look into how to support this setup 👍

    @derickr Hmm, how did you install PHP? I'm trying to reproduce this, but this Dockerfile does have phpenmod/phpdismod, and therefore is enabling the extension in the correct way

    FROM boxproject/box:4.6.10 AS build_pie_phar
RUN apk add git
COPY . /app
RUN cd /app && touch creating_this_means_phar_will_never_be_verified && /box.phar compile

FROM debian AS test_ext_enable_debian
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y php unzip
COPY --from=build_pie_phar /app/pie.phar /usr/local/bin/pie
    $ docker buildx build --target="test_ext_enable_debian" --file "Dockerfile" --tag "test_ext_enable_debian"
$ docker run -ti test_ext_enable_debian
# pie install asgrim/example-pie-extension
    • ls -l /etc/php/8.4/mods-available/ - shows example_pie_extension.ini (real file)
    • ls -l /etc/php/8.4/cli/conf.d/ - shows 74-example_pie_extension.ini -> /etc/php/8.4/mods-available/example_pie_extension.ini
    • ls -l /etc/php/8.4/apache2/conf.d/ - shows 74-example_pie_extension.ini -> /etc/php/8.4/mods-available/example_pie_extension.ini
