php-fpm not loading same extensions php-cli is – CentOS

Using php-5.4. I’m trying to load ‘oci8.so’ to access the function oci_connect. When in command line, I can access said function fine. But (after reloading, restarting, and reloading) php-fpm REFUSES to load the extension.

php -r 'print_r(get_loaded_extensions()); lists oci8.

)

However curl localhost/extensions.php reads

    // missing oci8
    // and also missing 'pcntl'??
)

Both the fpm and cli are reading the exact same php.ini. I have check and tested.

Nothing at all in any error logs.
