I have installed the PHP OCI8 module using a guide from this page.

But when I run my phpfile that has oci_connect it thrown out the page isn't working with error code "HTTP ERROR 500"

What did I do wrong? I tried the command php -m, and I found OCI8 there, and I tried php -v and I got no error at all, but when I tried running my PHP with something like function_exists('oci_connect') or extension_loaded('oci8') both give out false result.

    Command line PHP is not the same as the Apache module for PHP. Look at this answer for more info. If you don’t have the OCI8 module enabled for the web module, you will get what you are getting. Also, that guide is for PHP 7.1 as incited here: /etc/php/7.1/mods-available/oci8.ini Did you add that extension=oci8.so to the proper php.ini file? That PHP info webpage you have screenshots of should clearly show you which php.ini it is using. Just edit that and add the extension=oci8.so line and restart Apache to see the module come up. – Giacomo1968 Jan 22 '19 at 03:53
  • I've put extension=oci8.so to every php.ini file(included that inside apache2 and inside oci8.ini inside mods-available library), I've been trying for 1 week and the module just won't load at all – Jeremy Karisma Karis Jan 22 '19 at 06:41
  • I've put extension=oci8.so to every php.ini file That sounds like panic and overkill. You only need to put that in the php.ini used by the PHP that is loaded. The 500 error in the case of OCI8 usually comes if the directory you decompressed the OCI8 library into (/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2) doesn't exist or the permissions to that directory are off and Apache cannot read that directory. Look in your Apache error logs located in /var/log/ to see if you can get any clues as to what might be happening. – Giacomo1968 Jan 22 '19 at 11:19
