Getting --- PHP Warning: Module 'sodium' already loaded in unknown on line 0

[murugappan]

Hi,

Since the migration to Espocrm version 7 we have been getting this warning in the error.log - PHP Warning: Module 'sodium' already loaded in unknown on line 0. We do not have any idea why is this is happening. Any help will be appreciated as this warning is creating a large size error.log file.

Thank you in advance.

Hi murugappan,

To fix the issue, you have to dig into php.ini file to see if the module has been loaded as an extension.

Enter this command in the terminal:

sudo nano /etc/php.ini

Lookout for extension= as seen below:

extension=sodium.so

Comment the line (module) that’s causing the issue as below:

;extension=sodium.so

Then you have to restart your server.

For Apache2:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart​

For nginx:

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

lazovic , thank for the update. I checked out the server. The sodium extension is installed but not loaded as an extension in the php.ini. We are using CPanel and CentOS v7.9.2009.
