After installing in my new PHP 7.4 box (composer create-project slim/slim-skeleton:dev-master ta-api) and visiting the URL ([https://my-domain.com/ta-api/public](https://my-domain.com/ta-api/public)) I get the next JSON error message:

{  
“statusCode”: 500,  
“error”: {  
“type”: “SERVER\_ERROR”,  
“description”: “ERROR: Module ‘sqlite3’ already loaded on line 0 in file Unknown.”  
}  
}

What am I missing?

It seems there is something wrong with your php setup.

Can you create a standalone php file with the following content and run it?

```
<?php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo 'hello world';

```

Do you get a similar error?

No, with the you’re script there is no error. The browser shows the hello world message as expected.

Try to edit the `php.ini` file and remove the extra duplicated lines like `extension = "sqlite.so"`.  
Then restart the webserver.

Sorry, didn’t get a notification about your’re answer.  
Strange, would suggest the same as @odan, but i am surprised you’re not getting the error with the sample script.
