I'm using a shared hosting provider who runs Centos 4.5 My PA install
currently fails with the following Fatal error :
FATAL: XSL extension is not installed; your host probably needs to install a
PHP XML/XSL package.
My provider is willing to install the required package but wants to know which
package..... My only experience is with Debian/Ubuntu - where I used the
php5-xsl module (took a lot of brains to figure that out.....doh). Does anyone
know what the equivalent Centos package is ?
My hosting provider (using Centos 4.5) has tried to re-compile PHP 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 --with-xsl but apparently the compile fails - (something to do with binaries on the server). Since I have nothing better to do (!) - I'll install Centos 4.5 on my spare server at home and see if I can get it working and successfully install PeopleAggregator. If anyone has any experience of running PA on Centos 4.5 and knows of any pitfalls - please let me know. Otherwise I'll probably follow along with what Phil suggested at http://www.myelin.co.nz/post/2006/10/20/ (although not in a virtual server).
Richard,
Sorry for the delay! We're running CentOS on a bunch of our servers at
BBM, so I should be able to answer this.
Firstly, if you want to recompile PHP, you'll probably need libxml2, or
whatever the library is that the XML, DOM and XSL extensions link to.
However, it looks like the XSL extension is included with the php-xml
package; here's what yum tells me:
# yum info php-xml
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Installed Packages
Name : php-xml
Arch : i386
Version: 5.1.6
Release: 3.el4s1.5
Size : 196 k
Repo : installed
Summary: A module for PHP applications which use XML
Description:
The php-xml package contains dynamic shared objects which add support
to PHP for manipulating XML documents using the DOM tree,
and performing XSL transformations on XML documents.
I'm pretty sure that it's in the centosplus repository, though, so you
might have to install it like this:
yum --enablerepo=centosplus install php-xml
Give that a go...
Cheers,
Phil
