Below solution worked for me-

cd /etc/php5/mods-available
vi json.ini

In this file make below changes 

priority=20
extension=json.so

Incase if json.ini file is not there, create the file with contents as 

priority=20
extension=json.so

It worked for me after loading the installed modules json and mcrypt.

$ sudo php5enmod json && sudo php5enmod mcrypt $ sudo service apache2 restart

Go to http://yourserver/phpmyadmin and take a look to check if it works.

The problem seems to me to be because of Ubuntu's default permissions for the php.ini files. It only allows Root to read/execute the directories holding the in files.

You can easily verify this by observing that when you execute: sudo php -m

You see all installed and enabled modules listed correctly.

The solution to this I have found on ubuntu distros is to:

sudo chmod a+rx /etc/php5/cli/
sudo chmod a+rx /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
sudo chmod a+rx /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/

Then you can easily verify by running: 

php -m

It looks like you are install PHP5 from a custom repo. I would remove PHP and remove that repo.

sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
sudo apt-get update

now install php

sudo apt-get install php5-common php5-json
