 Hi

Trying to restore a site onto a new host
Ubuntu 16.04

Old host had php 5.5.9
New host has 7.0.13

The pre-installtion check in ANGIE 5.2.5 says XML Support No in grey and says I need to fix that before proceeding.

However if I execute
sudo apt-get install php-xml
It says I already have the latest version.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Feargal

Sorry just noticed that Angie says 5.2.5 whereas Kickstart says 5.2.1

Not sure if that makes any difference at all

Hello,

we're using PHP native function to check if the XML is available:
extension_loaded('xml')

After installing/updating it, did you restart Apache?
Moreover, after installing the XML extension, did you enabled it?

I did not install php-xml separately from anything else

It either came in the default bundle (sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql )
or in the all-dev bundle (sudo apt-get install php-all-dev)

And I restarted after both.

I did try to carry on the install after the error (bad idea) and it didn't work (no surprise) so I need to clean up the host and try again

I will restart apache before I do that and see if it improves matter.

maybe even restart the host

Will update you tomorrow
