hi and welcome to the forums bbell2000

as told in both topics;
it seems the reason behind may well be that the xml extension is disabled/missing.. download a fresh zip and try replacing the file, if that wont help, the reason behind it might be that lack of php xml extension, you might want to check ur phpinfo

Thanks for the response, but now I'm really feeling quite dense.

I downloaded a fresh zip from http://b2evolution.net/downloads/index.html and unzipped it to a temporary location. What exactly do you mean by "try replacing the file". What file are you referring to? I have the following in the zip:

# find . -name "*xml*"
./blogs/inc/widgets/widgets/_coll_xml_feeds.widget.php
./blogs/inc/xmlrpc
./blogs/inc/xmlrpc/model/_xmlrpc.funcs.php
./blogs/inc/xmlrpc/model/_xmlrpcs.funcs.php
./blogs/inc/_ext/xmlrpc
./blogs/inc/_ext/xmlrpc/_xmlrpc.inc.php
./blogs/inc/_ext/xmlrpc/_xmlrpcs.inc.php
./blogs/inc/_ext/xmlrpc/_xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.php
./blogs/plugins/code_highlight_plugin/highlighters/xml.highlighter.php
./blogs/rsc/img/xml.gif
./blogs/xmlsrv
./blogs/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php

As I said in my initial post, phpinfo has a libxml section that says libxml is active, version is 2.6.21 and libxml streams are enabled (see http://blog.theotherbell.com/foo.php).

i meant replacing the inc/xhtml_validator/_xhtml_validator.class.php with a fresh one.. and if you have libxmlenabled then i'm out of ideas, i just said it because that bloke had the exact problem and claimed the reason to it was it.. lets see if someone else comes up with sth else, but i ve gotta say, it looks like a server issue as it's a common issue not an particular one with b2

Ok, I think I get it. Still not sure what zip and what file you were talking about, but urpmi php-xml took care of the error.

Thanks.

Sorry. Forgot to refresh and didn't realize you had already clarified the file thing.

Thanks.
