won't install without Xslt.....

It sounds like I am experiencing similar problems to others.

I start the install process on Dolphon and it generated 2 errors....I was able to correct the MYSQL error but the program WON'T continue without the Xslt being installed..... I checked with Dolphin Docs and it tells you to use THEIR Media server but there is no where to INSERT the address of the server UNTIL the program is installed....

Its a catch 22 and I'm getting pretty frustreated....  It's MY server and I have all the access I need but can't get this Xsltprocessor installed OR find a place to redirect to Boon's Server.... and the instal WON't proceed without...

Would seriously appreciate ANY help available..

Thanks

You can simply uncomment the code which checks xsltprocessor.

Edit the file 'install/index.php'

Look for code:

if (((int)phpversion()) >= 5) { //PHP v5
$aErrors[] = (class_exists('XsltProcessor')) ? '' : '<font color="red">XsltProcessor is Off, you should install XsltProcessor</font>';

Replace it with:

if (((int)phpversion()) >= 5) { //PHP v5
// $aErrors[] = (class_exists('XsltProcessor')) ? '' : '<font color="red">XsltProcessor is Off, you should install XsltProcessor</font>';

This would enable you to install it.

I think that the error is there for a reason and they have probably forgot to update the tech notes on wiki. Have a look here http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DolTech it states:

mbstring, domxml (only for PHP 4.x) and xslt extensions should be installed.

Okay that is for 4.x but the same probably applies to php ver 5 now. Ask your hosting company if they can enable these extensions.

Considering you own the server this is a issue that should be able to be resolved from the server end rather than hacking the dolphin code to get it running.

If you tell me what version of Linux your running on the server i should be able to help you with that.

For most all modern versions of Linux this is a simple thing to fix.

I had similar problems, funny how doing a site search only pulls up the Answers section and nothing from forums. Any way hope this helps if still having problems, worked for me.

btw. From PHP.net  "PHP 5 includes the XSL extension by default and can be enabled by adding the argument --with-xsl[=DIR] to your configure line. DIR is the libxslt installation directory."
