Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require the following PHP extensions to be installed: fileinfo

Receiving the following messing in my web browser when trying to access the login page of my LibreNMS server:

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require the following PHP extensions to be installed: fileinfo.

Fileinfo was missing from the system and I downloaded, compiled, and installed it as well as configure it as an extension in my php.ini file but still won’t load the login page. The server is still doing discoveries and sending email alerts, it just won’t display the website. Running PHP 7.3.20 on RHEL7. I ran the command 'composer show -p and it shows that the fileinfo module is installed and recoginzed. The ./validate and ./daily scripts output errors Can anyone assist?

bash-4.2$ ./validate.php

If i comment out the extension=fileinfo in my php.ini file then ./validate and ./daily look fine but i still get the same message when loading the webpage with Google Chrome; If i load it with Internet Explorer then I receive an HTTP 500 error

You need to check your webserver logs and librenms logs to see what could be causing the 500 error.

logs are indicating no issues…just the following message in my browsers:

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require the following PHP extensions to be installed: fileinfo.

but fileinfo extension is installed…this is frustrating…

Well it’s not activated for the php running in apache then. Normally it’s not the same config file as for the cli version.

lostsoul77 · 20 January 2021 15:35

Hello,

It is activated in my apache config file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) this on RHEL7:

DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

is requested.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

I found this file www.conf in /etc/php-fpm.d/ and found a php section but not sure if anything in this section would be the cause (the php-fpm service is running):

; Limits the extensions of the main script FPM will allow to parse. This can
; prevent configuration mistakes on the web server side. You should only limit
; FPM to .php extensions to prevent malicious users to use other extensions to
; exectute php code.
; Note: set an empty value to allow all extensions.
; Default Value: .php
;security.limit_extensions = .php .php3 .php4 .php5

; Pass environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH. All $VARIABLEs are taken from
; the current environment.
; Default Value: clean env
;env[HOSTNAME] = $HOSTNAME
;env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
;env[TMP] = /tmp
;env[TMPDIR] = /tmp
;env[TEMP] = /tmp

; Additional php.ini defines, specific to this pool of workers. These settings
; overwrite the values previously defined in the php.ini. The directives are the
; same as the PHP SAPI:
; php_value/php_flag - you can set classic ini defines which can
; be overwritten from PHP call ‘ini_set’.
; php_admin_value/php_admin_flag - these directives won’t be overwritten by
; PHP call ‘ini_set’
; For php_*flag, valid values are on, off, 1, 0, true, false, yes or no.

; Defining ‘extension’ will load the corresponding shared extension from
; extension_dir. Defining ‘disable_functions’ or ‘disable_classes’ will not
; overwrite previously defined php.ini values, but will append the new value
; instead.

; Default Value: nothing is defined by default except the values in php.ini and
; specified at startup with the -d argument
;php_admin_value[sendmail_path] = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [email protected]
;php_flag[display_errors] = off
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
;php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 128M

; Set session path to a directory owned by process user
php_value[session.save_handler] = files
php_value[session.save_path] = /var/lib/php/session

That is odd as I don’t think I even have fileinfo enabled for my php installs.
