Guest bcinteractive Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Guys, since your talking about urpmi --- I'd like to know how to use this specifically to make php xml compatible. I run phpinfo() and it mentioned using urpmi to enable xml or something. I'm running on Mandrake 10.1 and I dont know how to upgrade to the new system--nor do I liked,too because I'm only using a dial-up modem. other application installed is Apache 2.0, MySQL 4x (Apache and PHP are installed using the Mandrake gui installation) -- have not a lot of experience installing on the command line for now. My computer is pentium 4 1.7GHz with 300 something MB of ram DDR, 20GB of HDD. thanks, guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Welcome to the board. :) Your problem didn't really belong in the thread you posted in, so I've moved it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcinteractive Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 OK! Thanks for that. I'm not yet familiar with this forum and as it is I'm still groping my way around mandrake/mandriva linux. Hope somebody has a resource on how this works--also hoping that resource I could understand (newbie in linux-set up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bcinteractive Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 urpmi php-xml <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tried it as root but the shell responded with "no package named php-sml". I also tried using php_xml or php.xml and not a single package is included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crac Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Did you add a main-repository on http://easyurpmi.zarb.org ? I dont know, perhaps its not on your CDs, eventhough normally it should be ... Are you sure you typed php-xml (this is its name) and not php-sml ?

crac Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I realized this is Mandriva-2006 bug. Somehow all php-packages are not installable. As workaround visit an ftp mirror, grab the files and install them by hand: ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/mand...i586/media/main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
