PHP Warning: Module 'geoip' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Hello,

Beginner sysadmin here. Installed Piwik 2.17.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 server. Standard install, LAMP stack. Installed geoip-pecl as instructed here: http://piwik.org/faq/how-to/faq_164/. On this version, the pecl version failed on the IP6 support, so I did a pecl install geoip-beta in order to be able to support pecl-geoip in Piwik. Now, when setting up the auto-archiving, I get multiple errors, all related to geoip, like:

Empty or invalid response 'PHP Warning: Module ‘geoip’ already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Looking further, when checking my php.ini file, like such:

php -i | grep Configure

I get the same error. I do not know how to proceed. I’m unfamiliar with PHP, so I’m not sure where to go from here. Any advice?

I have same problem
in browser piwik returns HTTP Error 500
in log I see the same as You
