Can't Load Extension on Ubuntu 14.04

Hi, thank you for your time, here is the deal:

I using an amazon ec2 with Ubuntu 14.04 where I installed apache, php and of course phalcon.

I used this instructions to install phalcon:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:phalcon/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php5-phalcon

Seems the extension is installed here: /usr/lib/php5/20121212/phalcon.so but is no loaded if I run a php with:

<?php print_r(get_loaded_extensions()); ?>

The output is:

Array ( [0] => Core [1] => date [2] => ereg [3] => libxml [4] => openssl [5] => pcre [6] => zlib [7] => filter [8] => hash [9] => Reflection [10] => SPL [11] => session [12] => standard [13] => apache2handler [14] => PDO [15] => calendar [16] => ctype [17] => exif [18] => fileinfo [19] => ftp [20] => gettext [21] => iconv [22] => json [23] => Phar [24] => posix [25] => readline [26] => shmop [27] => sockets [28] => sysvmsg [29] => sysvsem [30] => sysvshm [31] => tokenizer [32] => mhash [33] => Zend OPcache )

I already added the 30-phalcon.ini on /etc/php/5.6/apache2/conf.d but seems not work either.

My set up: Ubuntu 14.04, Apache2, PHP 5.6

Thank you for your help in advance.

You obviously restarted apache ? What php --ri phalcon returns ?

Yep I restarted apache.

Running the script I get this: Extension 'phalcon' not present.

I guest is something related with phalcon or php installation, because all loaded extensions are on /usr/lib/php/20151012 but the phalcon extension is located on /usr/lib/php5/20121212

Thank you for your reply.

Are you sure you have installed php5-dev ? Also 20151012 looks like php7.

What php -v and phphize -v returns ?

It is API from PHP 5.5.9 which is default repo for Trusty. You need to make clear which PHP major release you are using.

If you print a test.php whit phpinfo() function you can get the URL where a loaded the extension modules is. This information appears on the "Additional .ini files parsed" section, in my server I get

/etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-phalcon.ini

Here is an example https://imgur.com/a/LHJyU

So you can check what is wrong. Look for another module and put your phalcon ini file in the same path.

@stamster was right is because the API form the repo, I removed and installed PHP 5.6 again and then I compiled the source using the correct version of PHP and presto now the phalcon extension is loaded. Thank you very much for your time answering this question, best regards.
