  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20151012/geoip.so

Regular Pleskian
Hi at all,
In June or July I installed imagick program (the php extension/lib already comes with PHP since few years) and around the 8th August I also installed geoip (only) for PHP7.0 by this great and easy Plesk tutorial.
From shell it was successfully installed. For the reason that I don't use any tools for geoip, e.g. piwik I didn't care about it. Yesterday I looked in my mails from server (cron) I was surprised.
Since install of geoip every half an hour an error message was sent to me with the following content:
Code:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20151012/geoip.so' - /usr/lib/php/20151012/geoip.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
I checked again. GeoIP was also in PHP settings of Plesk marked and correctly integrated in php.ini of /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.ini
After looking closer and "# locate geoip.so" I found the extension only in /opt/plesk/php/7.0/lib/php/modules.
On the other hand the system missing it in /usr/lib/php/20151012/.
I decided the experimental way to check what happens if I copy the extension to /usr/lib/php/20151012/. I did this copying also with imagick.so, and ioncube_loader_lin_7.0.so, because they were also not existent in directory ../20151012/
What makes me also wonder is that geoip and imagick have different permissions in the source directory ../modules/.

Now, since I did this the error is away, no mails any longer.
1. Question: Is it really the correct way? I don't want any security holes or misconfigurations which lead to more problems.
2. Question: Are the permissions correct this way? The GEOIP tutorial was solved without any problems few weeks ago.

Greets.
