Will an update remove my extensions?

Hi. I'm using EasyApache 4 with PHP 7.x. I needed memcache support so I built the pecl-memcache extension and installed it into /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/memcache.so. I then created /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.d/memcached.ini to load the extension. I have tested and everything seems to be working great. When WHM/EasyApache 4 does any future updates, assuming that the updates don't include anything related to memcache, will my extension and ini file still exist and hopefully continue to function, or will they be deleted since they are not part of the EasyApache 4 installation? Thanks! EDIT: Another question. If I edited an existing ini file (eg. /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini), would my changes be retained during an update or will they revert back to whatever EasyApache 4 uses by default?

  Firstly, bumping threads is pretty much a bad idea. Forum staff, or someone else will respond as their time is available ;) The compiled extensions won't get removed, no. EA doesn't do that As far as php.ini settings, that should remain. It's important to note that as you compile new versions of php, you'll have to recompile your extensions, most likely. Otherwise, your extensions will break php usage.

  Hello, Yes, as mentioned in the previous response, your custom settings are not removed during update. However, ensure you make the changes again in the future if switching to different version of PHP. Also, documentation on creating your own RPM packages for EasyApache is planned for the future to help users with creating their own packages. Thank you.
