Unexpected error: Module 'sqlite3' already loaded

kmlucy · 2020-05-01 02:48:41

I just update and get this error in both Backlight and on my site:

Something went wrong
Unexpected error: Module 'sqlite3' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Some pages of my site work fine, but the home page with a slideshow are broken, and the main galleries page doesn't load at all.

did you update from Backlight 1 or 2?
What steps did you take?

kmlucy · 2020-05-01 03:07:14

I updated from Backlight 2. I purchased the upgrade, logged into Backlight, navigated to Admin > Backlight Modules, and clicked 'Update All' under 'Backlight'

You can see the error live at kylelucy.com. There is a large red error bar at the bottom of my homepage, and the galleries link just leads to an error page.

Thanks, Kyle. Ben will need to take a look when he's online again. I reckon he'll be waking up in a few hours.

Hi Kyle, this looks like a misconfiguration at your host. The sqlite3 module is being loaded twice in the configuration. Do you have access to configure your own php.ini file, perhaps sitting immediately in your public_html or www directory? If so, can you see whether there's a line that looks like this:

extension=sqlite3

If so, try commenting it out with a leading semi-colon, so that it looks like this:

;extension=sqlite3

The same idea applies if you have access to php.ini files elsewhere. If this advice doesn't help then you'll need to talk to your host's technical support.

Ben,

I do have access to my php.ini, but it doesn't have that line in it. sqlite3 is enabled in my PHP extension selection however.

Ben · 2020-05-01 08:11:52

Hi Kyle, can you try disabling it there and seeing whether that solves the problem and that the site does operate?

kmlucy · 2020-05-01 08:13:44

Disabling it there seems to have fixed the issue. Is it loaded by Backlight separately? It was working fine like that with Backlight v2.

Ben · 2020-05-01 08:30:04

I'm glad that solved it. Backlight uses the module but doesn't load it. That's the job of the php.ini files and system bootstrapping. I can't see how any of the changes from BL2 to BL3 would have affected this.

Can you take a look at your PHP Info (link available und Special Links on the main Backlight admin page) and make sure that there is a section for Sqlite3. That page should also tell you where the php.ini files are located. It may be the case though that the actual loading of sqlite3 is handled via a separate config file under conf.d of the same directory as the server's main php.ini file.

kmlucy · 2020-05-01 09:27:59

There is a section for sqlite3, though there isn't much info under it. It looks like the php.ini is loaded from a path I don't have access to. I believe the php.ini file I was looking at is only used to generate the user.ini, so it only has a few options that I've set.
