Hi all, Brand new to DO and getting my first server up and running - little by little... Have worked through the walk-through here (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-get-started-with-phalcon-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-vps) for getting Phalcon set up. Looks OK, no errors. I've added extension=phalcon.so to the php.ini file and restarted Apache, but I'm not seeing a phalcon section in the output from phpinfo(). Can't think what I've missed. I'm guessing the library has been installed in a non-standard location? Any suggestions appreciated. Mark

Just checked the php.ini file and the extension_dir is commented out... doh ..question is where would that be on my Ubuntu server?

phpinfo() tellls me the extensions are at /usr/lib/php5/20121212, which I've added to the ini. Still can't see phalcon.

Hmm.. looks like the path to the extensions directory is OK and the file phalcon.so is in there. Version mismatch somewhere?

Is there a specific place in the ini file I need to put the extension=phalcon.so entry. It's currently the last thing in the file.

SOLVED - the way extensions are referenced seems to have changed or be different on Ubuntu. I'n guessing the former. Found this on the Phalcon forum:
