Install OCI8 (Oracle) in Ubuntu 20 with PHP 7.4
Raw
install_oci8_ubuntu20_php7.4.md

Install OCI8 on Ubuntu 20.04 with PHP 7.4

Step 1

Download Oracle Instant Client and SDK from Oracle:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html

Download files:

Basic Package (ZIP): instantclient-basic-linux.x64-21.1.0.0.0.zip

SDK Package (ZIP): instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-21.1.0.0.0.zip

Step 2

Create new folders for Oracle Instant Client on server

    sudo mkdir /usr/lib/oracle
    sudo mkdir /usr/lib/oracle/21.1
    sudo mkdir /usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64

Step 3

Extract files

    sudo cp instantclient-basic-linux.x64-21.1.0.0.0.zip /usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64
    sudo cp instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-21.1.0.0.0.zip /usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64

    cd /usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64

    sudo unzip instantclient-basic-linux.x64-21.1.0.0.0.zip
    sudo unzip instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-21.1.0.0.0.zip

    sudo mv instantclient_21_1 lib

Step 4

Create symbolic link to the new Instant Client files:

    cd /usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64/lib/    
    sudo ln -s libclntsh.so.21.1 libclntsh.so (It may already exist, continue)
    sudo ln -s libocci.so.21.1 libocci.so (It may already exist, continue)

Step 5

Edit/Create this file with the path to the lib (for LDCONFIG):

	sudo echo /usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf

Step 6

Update Dynamic Linker

	ldconfig

Step 7

Install php-dev php-pear build-essential and libaio1

	sudo apt-get install php-dev php-pear build-essential libaio1

Step 8

Update PECL to install OCI8 from it

	sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

Install OCI8 from PCEL (desired version, default seems not to find it for me, i used php7.)

    sudo pecl install oci8 (php 8)
    sudo pecl install oci8-2.2.0  (php 7.)

During install it will require the path to Instant Client, write this:

	instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/21.1/client64/lib

At the end something like this should appear:

Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php/20190902/oci8.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/oci8-2.2.0
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=oci8.so" to php.ini

Step 9

Load OCI8 into PHP

	sudo echo "extension=oci8.so" >> /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini

Restart Apache

	sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 10

Add to mods-available

	cd /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/
	sudo nano oci.ini

Add this to the file:

extension = oci8.so

Step 11

Create sym link to the created ini file

	cd /etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d
	sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/oci.ini 20-oci.ini

Restart Apache

	sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 12 (Testing)

Check if OCI is loaded in PHP

	php -i | grep oci

Should output something like this:

oci8
oci8.connection_class => no value => no value
oci8.default_prefetch => 100 => 100
oci8.events => Off => Off
oci8.max_persistent => -1 => -1
oci8.old_oci_close_semantics => Off => Off
oci8.persistent_timeout => -1 => -1
oci8.ping_interval => 60 => 60
oci8.privileged_connect => Off => Off
oci8.statement_cache_size => 20 => 20

Hi
Before step 5, you should add

sudo su -

because step 5 (and the following) will fail if you're not as root in shell

Just in case it wasn't clear, you also need to add the oci8.so module in the fpm php.ini:

sudo echo "extension=oci8.so" >> /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
service php7.4-fpm restart

For me it only worked after that because the cli configuration files are different from the ones used in http

Are you using php v7.4?
That error seems like the one “enboig” was having https://gist.github.com/eSkiSo/781269c79b4dd740e90fcc059c1985ae?permalink_comment_id=4244857#gistcomment-4244857

What version of PHP are you using?

@aashestakov

If there are several php versions in your system or you are using version 7.4 for example then try to claim version via special flag:
sudo pecl -d php_suffix=7.4 install oci8-2.2.0

Hi.

My error:
No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/oci8"
Install failed

If the pecl install not working, try it donwload manuality.
Check this website: https://www.php.net/manual/en/oci8.installation.php
I used phpize "Installing OCI8 from PECL Using phpize"

Good luck

You maybe were missing to update the pecl list:

No, i did try update the pecl. It's not working. I did download with manuality, and it's fine.

I’m on PHP 7.4.2, have found how to “Manually Installing OCI8 on Linux as a Shared Extension” here , but i’d like understand the pecl problem.

Hey @marcoriccine: This problem is caused when your PHP doesn’t have ext-xml installed. I found that out while running this very tutorial and getting blocked myself.

@hopeseekr

For PHP 8.1 and above, you have to use pecl install oci8-3.2.1.

What a mess! The extension writers should hold their heads in absolute shame for pushing distinct PECL packages per oracle versions. Can you imagine if we had 7 different mysqli extensions for each version of MySQL??
