For some reason pecl_http extension is not showing up in my test.php file with contains:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

I just installed pecl_http using:

pecl install pecl_http

The install was successful and I verified it by running:

pecl list

Installed packages, channel pecl.php.net:
=========================================
Package   Version State
mongo     1.2.10  stable
pecl_http 1.7.4   stable

I then located my php.ini file using:

php -i | grep 'Configuration File'

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

I edited it in vim and added:

extension=http.so

Finally I restarted Nginx and PHP-FastCGI:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart
/etc/init.d/php-fastcgi stop
/etc/init.d/php-fastcgi start

My PHP extension_dir is :

/usr/lib/php5/20090626

I verified that "http.so" is located in that directory.

Any ideas why it's not loading?

My machine is running a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit Profile on Linode. The only other extensions I have installed are New Relic and Mongo.

Thanks!
