Health check failing and repeating "posix_getuid()" error

ℹ️ Support

Nextcloud version: 14.03
Operating system and version: CentOS 7.5
Apache or nginx version: 1.12.2-2.el7
PHP version: 7.2.12-1.el7.remi

I have installed the latest Nextcloud with PHP 7.2 from remi repo. Everything appears to be working with the exception of health check (settings/ajax/checksetup) failing with 500 and constant error being logged about posix_getuid(). Is this a bug or something wrong with my configuration?

Error: Call to undefined function OC\Settings\Controller\posix_getuid()

Found the problem. It needed the php-process module installed.

Thank you. Could you please share your knowledge and tell us how to install the php-process module?

In my case, I am using CentOS 7 and Remi repo for PHP 7.2. I needed to install php72-php-posix for this error to go away.

Now I know how to activate posix. It is an extension in the php.ini. Just remove the comment of the line with the posix.so
