Even though several other answers suggest it  installing more unnecessary software is generally not the best solution  Instead  you should fix the underlying problem  The reason these messages appear is because you are trying to load those extensions  but they are not installed  So the easy solution is simply to tell PHP to stop trying to load them   First  find out which files are trying to load the above extensions     grep -Hrv      etc php5   grep -E  extension  s        Example output for Ubuntu    etc php5 mods-available gd ini extension gd so  etc php5 mods-available pdo sqlite ini extension pdo sqlite so  etc php5 mods-available pdo ini extension pdo so  etc php5 mods-available pdo mysql ini extension pdo mysql so  etc php5 mods-available mysqli ini extension mysqli so  etc php5 mods-available mysql ini extension mysql so  etc php5 mods-available curl ini extension curl so  etc php5 mods-available sqlite3 ini extension sqlite3 so  etc php5 conf d mcrypt ini extension mcrypt so  etc php5 conf d imagick ini extension imagick so  etc php5 apache2 php ini extension http so   Now just find the files that are loading the extensions that are causing the errors and comment out those lines with a    For some reason this happened to me with the default install of Ubuntu  so hopefully this helps someone else

For Ubuntu users   I had the same problem  but none of the answers above solved that  Here is how I solved the problem   Open your php ini file  mine was in  etc php 7 3 cli php ini    You may have something like this   extension pdo mysql   Or maybe   extension  here is the path to your file pdo mysql so   Add the following line before extension pdo mysql  extension pdo   So  you will have   extension pdo extension pdo mysql   It seems that the problem is  at least in my case  that we need to load pdo extension first to load the pdo mysql extension   Hope that helps

I had a similar problem  which led me here     phpunit --version PHP Warning   PHP Startup  Unable to load dynamic library   usr lib php5 20131226 profiler so  -  usr lib php5 20131226 profiler so  cannot open shared object file  No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHPUnit 5 7 17 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors    Unlike the above  installing the software did not resolve my problem because I already had it     sudo apt-get install php5-uprofiler Reading package lists    Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information    Done php5-uprofiler is already the newest version  0 upgraded  0 newly installed  0 to remove and 52 not upgraded    I found my solution via   Debian Bug report logs     sudo vim  etc php5 mods-available uprofiler ini   I edited the ini file  changing extension profiler so to extension uprofiler so      the result  happily      phpunit --version PHPUnit 5 7 17 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors    i e  no more warning

Well for Ubuntu 14 04 I was getting that error just for mcrypt    PHP Warning   PHP Startup  Unable to load dynamic library   usr lib php5 20121212 mcrypt ini  -  usr lib php5 20121212 mcrypt ini  cannot open shared object file  No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0   If you have a closer look at the error  php is looking for mcrypt ini and not for mcrypt so at that location  I just copy mcrypt so to mcrypt ini and that s it  the warning is gone and the extension now is properly installed  It might look a bit dirty but it worked

Seems like you upgraded PHP to newer version and old  ini files are still pointing to old location   The solution  find out where are modules located now  ls -l  usr lib php5   There should be a directory similar to old 20090626  In my case it is now 20131226  The  ini files giving you an error are located at  etc php5 cli conf d   Just edit those  ini files which module gives you an error  For example  in case the error is for mcrypt module   sudo vi  etc php5 cli conf d 20-mcrypt ini   Change the line   extension  usr lib php5 20090626 mcrypt so   to reflect the new path for  so file  In my case the correct path should be   extension  usr lib php5 20131226 mcrypt so   That s it  The error is gone  Ofc you d have to do it with each module giving you an error

I had enabled the extension dir in php ini by uncommenting     extension dir    ext    extension phpchartdir550 dll   and copying phpchartdir550 dll to the extension dir   usr lib php5 20121212    resulted in the same error     PHP Warning   PHP Startup  Unable to load dynamic library  ext phpchartdir550 dll  - ext phpchartdir550 dll  cannot open shared object file  No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0   PHP Warning   PHP Startup  Unable to load dynamic library  ext pdo so  - ext pdo so  cannot open shared object file  No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0   PHP Warning   PHP Startup  Unable to load dynamic library  ext gd so  - ext gd so  cannot open shared object file  No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0   As  Mike pointed out  it is not necessary to install all the stuff when they are not actually required in the application   The easier way is to provide the full path to the extensions to be loaded after copying the libraries to the correct location   Copy phpchartdir550 dll to  usr lib php5 20121212  which is the extension dir in my Ubuntu 14 04  this can be seen using phpinfo    and then provide full path to the library in php ini       extension  path to extension msql so extension  usr lib php5 20121212 phpchartdir550 dll   restart apache  sudo service apache2 restart  even though other  so s are present in the same directory  only the required ones can be selectively loaded
