ii python3-nacl 1.3.0-5 amd64 Python bindings to libsodium (Python 3)

The installed Sodium libraries listed (libsodium-dev, libsodium23, and python3-nacl) are system-wide packages and are not the actual sodium.so PHP extension file required for XAMPP. Instead, you need the sodium.so file, which acts as a PHP extension. Here’s how to locate and copy the correct file:

$ dpkg-query -L libsodium-dev

$ sudo pecl install libsodium

$ find /usr -name sodium.so

$ find /usr -name sodium.so
/usr/lib/php/20190902/sodium.so

$ /opt/lampp/bin/php -i | grep extension_dir

cp /usr/lib/php/20190902/sodium.so /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20220829

The error persists because PHP is specifically looking for libargon2.so.0, but your system has libargon2.so.1. The version mismatch can be resolved by creating a symbolic link to make libargon2.so.1 accessible as libargon2.so.0.

Here’s how to resolve this issue:

1. Create a Symbolic Link

Verify the current location of libargon2.so.1:

   ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libargon2.so.1

Create a symbolic link named libargon2.so.0:

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libargon2.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libargon2.so.0

Confirm the link:

   ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libargon2.so.0

2. Refresh the Dynamic Linker

Update the linker cache to recognize the new symbolic link:

sudo ldconfig

Verify that libargon2.so.0 is now available:

ldconfig -p | grep argon2

You should see:

libargon2.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libargon2.so.0

3. Restart XAMPP

Restart XAMPP to reload PHP:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

4. Verify the Sodium Extension

Check if the libsodium extension is now loaded:

/opt/lampp/bin/php -m | grep sodium

Alternatively, test with a PHP script:

Create a file test_sodium.php in your htdocs directory:

   <?php
   echo extension_loaded('sodium') ? "Sodium is enabled\n" : "Sodium is not enabled\n";
   ?>

Access the file in your browser:

   http://localhost/test_sodium.php

Additional Notes

If the issue persists, double-check the PHP error log for additional errors:

  more /opt/lampp/logs/php_error_log

Ensure libsodium.so is correctly compiled for your PHP version (API 20220829).
