OpenSSL issue on Debian server – Plesk

I’ve been battling this annoying issue for quite some time now, and it’s bugging me a lot that I can’t find any fix for it.

When I use “tail -f” to my error_log file to check for errors on my webserver, one specific error keeps popping up all the time, every visitor and page-refresh generates this issue.

I’ve been googling and searching here on Stack Overflow for a looong time, but nothing is directly related to the problem.

So the error that is thrown looks like this:

[Fri Aug 17 00:16:23 2012] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20090626/openssl.dll’ – /usr/lib/php5/20090626/openssl.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://mysite.dk/

What could I do?

I have tried to remove OpenSSL, and re-installed it again with no luck. I’ve tried to upgrade every PHP-related package and still didn’t work.

grep -ir ssl /etc/php*

gives:

/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini:extension=openssl.dll
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini:extension=openssl.dll
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.saved_by_psa.08.03;20:24:;extension=openssl.dll       ; moved to conf.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini by Plesk
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:;extension=openssl.dll        ; moved to conf.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini by Plesk
/etc/php5/conf.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini:extension=openssl.dll
/etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini:extension=openssl.dll

    So you’ve got four copies of zend_extensions_psa.ini and all of them are trying to load this nonexistent file. Edit them all, delete or comment out the lines mentioning openssl.dll, and all should be well.

    The Debian package management system treats your modifications to configuration files with great respect. It doesn’t undo them when you upgrade or reinstall a package unless you remove the the package with dpkg --purge or install the new one with --force-confnew.

    It could be that you have something like this in your PHP configuration (php.ini maybe):

    extension_dir=/usr/lib/php5/20090626/

    and then

    extension=openssl.dll

    And it could cause a problem because there is no file like that in a given path. This could be caused by manually copying extensions and/or different extensions installers.
