Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0-beta.3 released

I did a fresh install on a brand new DigitalOcean droplet and got this in setup (immediately after choosing language.)

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Textpattern\Module\Help\simplexml_load_file() in /var/www/html/textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/Module/Help/HelpAdmin.php:77 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/Module/Help/HelpAdmin.php(130): Textpattern\Module\Help\HelpAdmin::pophelp_load(‘en-us’) #1 /var/www/html/textpattern/lib/txplib_html.php(1189): Textpattern\Module\Help\HelpAdmin::pophelp(‘table_prefix’) #2 /var/www/html/textpattern/lib/txplib_html.php(880): popHelp(‘table_prefix’) #3 /var/www/html/textpattern/setup/index.php(305): inputLabel(‘setup_table_pre…’, ‘\n<input name=“d…’, ‘table_prefix’, Array, Array) #4 /var/www/html/textpattern/setup/index.php(139): step_getDbInfo() #5 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/Module/Help/HelpAdmin.php on line 77

Likely missing the PHP XML functionality from system requirements. What operating system? What PHP version? Did you install PHP from apt / yum or similar, or compile from source?

Edit: added sys reqs link.

From the GH / download page, I noted this:

  • Permit multiple forms to be fetched from the database at once for performance improvements.

Is there some more details about this?

Standard Digital Ocean LAMP one-click.

Ubuntu/PHP 7.2

I’ve run tons of TXP on Digital Ocean before.

Out of interest, if you open Diagnostics, then PHP Configuration, do you have a ‘SimpleXML’ and/or ‘XML’ header in the output?

Edit: I ask because I’ve had XML issues with the PHP 7.* defaults before, sometimes the XML-related components aren’t included.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0-beta.3 released

Apparently they were not included this time.

I ‘apt-get install php-xml’ and now everything is okay.

Thank you!

Exactly the same issue I had – glad it’s fixed. I don’t know whether DO PHP is just compiled differently, but my gut feeling is XML stuff is not included in PHP 7 like it was with PHP 5.

Given that DO is fairly popular and a generally respected hosting option, might it make sense to trap this error more elegantly? Or allow one to proceed if not vital?
