I'm attempting to use the import functionality in mediawiki 1.27.0, but I'm getting the error message:

Call to undefined function pcntl_wifsignaled() in extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/LuaStandaloneEngine.php on line 645

I'm running PHP version 5.6.30 on Ubuntu 14.0.4 with Apache2.4.7. I've followed various bits on information to install pcntl module and to the best of my knowledge the module is operational. phpinfo reports that pcntl is enabled. I have also commented out the line in php.ini regarding disabled_functions. Below are some reports from various bits of Ubuntu to explain the current config.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Installed php modules:

$ php -me

Disabled PHP functions:

$ php -i | grep disable_functions
disable_functions => no value => no value

    Apache doesn't use the command-line PHP interpreter. – Álvaro González May 17 '17 at 16:24
  • Nope, it doesn't. Unfortunately that doesn't help with the answer. The PCNTL module is being loaded for use by apache. I have followed the instructions in http://php.net/manual/en/pcntl.installation.php. – Ben May 26 '17 at 09:52
  • EDIT: I just saw this post on the 'related' listing: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35026153/call-to-undefined-function-pcntl-fork-php-fpm-nginx?rq=1 I guess this is what Alvaro was talking about, but given that the mediawiki core code is calling this function I should be able to operate somehow. It clearly works on Wikipedia... – Ben May 26 '17 at 09:56
  • I know nothing about the pcntl extension (thus I left a comment rather than an answer) but you were inspecting command-line PHP extensions to determine what extensions are available to a web app. And next time just say "I don't understand what you mean, could you please explain it?", rather than "it doesn't help". We programmer's have feelings too ;-) – Álvaro González May 26 '17 at 10:35
