Topic: php-soap for SME V8beta6 [resolved]

[crazybob]

I am trying to install virtualbox4 on SME 8beta6. Everything seems to go ok via the wiki except when I try to install php-soap. It says

Code: [Select]

Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 is needed by package php-soap-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.i386 (base)
I know that SME 8beta6 is php5.2

Does anyone know where I can find the proper rpms for this

TIA

Bob

I managed to get php5.3 installed an then got php5.3-soap from the repositories.

What does require php-soap?

Code: [Select]

rpm -q --whatrequires php-soap

Cactus, I resolved this before I saw your reply. php-soap was required to allow connecting to the virtual machine interface.

Thanks

Could you perhaps share the actions you took to resolve your issues for future readers?

I needed php-soap for virtualbox4. I followed the wiki on virtual box until it got to the part needing php-soap installed. I found

I would have to install php 5.3 to get a version of soap that worked.

I upgraded to php 5.3 from SME server  - update testing. I don't know if I need all of them, but I took them any way.

I then downloaded php-soap from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/testing/8.0beta6/smedev/i386/repoview/php-soap.html
Installed it then continued with virtual box.

You should learn the proper yum commands that would make your live a little easier, you could have easily installed it like this:

Code: [Select]

yum install php-soap --enablerepo=smedev

Thanks for that Cactus, it certainly did make my life easier... one little command, restart the service and SOAP is running in PHP. I've now added that little nugget to my internal documentation on provisioning a new SME 8 server.

Cheers,
