PHP 7.2: no additional .ini files parsed

Question

I have an ubuntu server (16.04.4 LTS) with apache2 running php7.0 (Apache 2.0 Handler) and php7.2 (FPM/FastCGI).

PHP7.2 works fine, except that there are no extensions loaded - like json or anything else. See my phpinfo():

I guess the problem is, that no additional .ini files are parsed. But phpinfo says it scans the directory /etc/php/7.2/fpm/conf.d for additional .ini files. Here's the directory list:

I have restarted apache2 server with no effect.

How can I tell my php-fpm to use those extensions?

Answer 1

As well as restarting apache, did you also restart fpm?
