Question

Answer 1

A:

Freshly-installed PHP extension packages won't be recognized by the process running PHP (usually a web server) until it is restarted/bounced/whatnot.

I just stopped ZendServer, restarted Apache via CPanel and then started ZendServer again. It's still reporting 'Missing required extension: XMLRPC'

Did you install CPanel's php-xmlrpc package? Do `phpinfo()` or `php -m` list the xmlrpc module?

Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2010-01-18 02:28:25

Nah, it's not showing 'xmlrpc'. I installed php-xmlrpc via SSH. Should I remove that (via YUM) and install it via CPanel?

I don't know all of CPanel's internals. you can run `rpm -qa '*php*'` to list all installed PHP packages, and then extrapolate the relevant package name to install from that.

CPanel is reporting XMLRPC and I just installed XMLRPC2 (via CPanel) but `php -m` isn't showing XMLRPC :/

The `php` executable may be using different modules from the php running in the web server. Trust the web server if it's what you need.

But XMLRPC isn't being reported as a loaded module in the output of phpinfo(). It only shows `xmlrpc_error_number` and `xmlrpc_errorserrors` under Core Configuration. The only place where XMLRPC is reported to be working is ZendServer. KnowledgeTree is still reporting it's missing >.<

... Okay, I admit that I'm stumped then. Perhaps your web server isn't using CPanel's PHP after all...

Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2010-01-18 03:01:26

Any ideas on what I can do to check/solve this? Can I check for multiple instances of PHP? Getting XMLRPC installed is proving to be a PITA

syra 2010-01-18 03:13:37

Unfortunately nothing in `phpinfo()` indicates which one is being used. You could try sifting through `rpm -qa '*php*'`, but removing the wrong one may break CPanel.

Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2010-01-18 03:20:34

The only output I receive from `rpm -qa '*php*'` is `php-common-5.1.6-24.el5_4.5`, `php-xmlrpc-5.1.6-24.el5_4.5` o.0

syra 2010-01-18 03:31:30

I'm thinking I'll need to recompile PHP to include '--with-xmlrpc' or whatever the flag is... But how do I go about doing this? Will it break CPanel/Webhost Manager?
