Hi, I've got WHM (v100.0.2) on Cloudlinux 7.9 server. Default PHP version is 8.0 with mod_lsapi as php-handler. CageFS is enabled for all users. I've successfully installed PECL imagick package for PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0. No errors during install and i rebooted the server. I've been doing testing if imagick is working, here are results: - PHP 7.4, PHP-FPM (as PHP-handler) OK - PHP 7.4, mod_lsapi OK - PHP 8.0, PHP-FPM OK - PHP 8.0, mod_lsapi NOT OK I have no clue why imagick is not working when i'm using PHP 8.0 and mod_lsapi as handler. Same cPanel account with PHP-FPM as handler works fine. I'm using MultiPHP to change the PHP version. PHP 8.0, PHP-FPM: - PHPInfo says the PECL ini is loaded - PHPInfo lists imagick - Imagick is tested and working PHP 8.0, mod_lsapi: - PHPInfo says the PECL ini is loaded - PHPInfo does not list imagick - Imagick test fails. PHP error: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Imagick" not found in ... Any tips how to solve this?

  Hello! I see you're using LSPHP. LSPHP, similar to PHP-FPM, runs separately from the Apache process, so, when making changes outside of EasyApache (with PECL, for example) you'll need to manually restart LSPHP.

  Thank you for answering. Problem is still there. 1) Restarting the whole virtual server does not restart LSPHP process/processes? Please explain how is that possible? 2) I tried this method mentioned in the docs: touch /home/CPANELUSERNAME/mod_lsapi_reset_me No help there. The file 'mod_lsapi_reset_me' is sitting in the users home directory. PHP gives same error as before. 3) I attached a screenshot of partial phpinfo page. See the screenshot. There's this line: Additional .ini files parsed: there's long list of different PHP extensions and the last additional ini file is: /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/etc/php.d/zzzzzzz-pecl.ini This 'zzzzzzz-pecl.ini' includes following: extension="imagick.so" To my understanding PHP 8.0 (with mod_lsapi as handler) loaded correct ini files. But still imagick is not working. 4) Imagick is working with PHP 7.4 (mod_lsapi). I installed PHP 7.4 extension same way as PHP 8.0 version. I didn't have to restart any LSPHP services or do any jumps or hoops. It just worked right of the bat. Any further tips i should try?

  Problem solved! I've been clicking the CageFS update command via WHM -> Plugins -> CageFS -> Update CageFS skeleton. So i thought CageFS is not part of this problem. Seems like the CageFS was the problem. I forced the CageFS update on: cagefsctl --force-update and now imagick extension is working with PHP 8.0 (mod_lsapi). Finally. Now i can do my work and update the production servers. If someone knows why CageFS was the problem, please tell :)

  I'm not seeing any obvious reason why it shouldn't be working. Would you be able to open a ticket with the link in my signature and provide me with the ID? Thank you!
