What are the required PHP extensions?

[IngoBelka]

Yellow requires some PHP modules, which aren't present in some standard installation of LAMP :

• common
• mbstring
• xmlrpc
• gd
• xml
• cli
• curl
• zip

I had to install these on my Ubuntu server, to get Yellow run well.

Did I forgot some module?

At present you need the PHP extensions curl gd mbstring zip. See troubleshooting.

I thought that server requirements are automatically checked during installation. You should see a message like Datenstrom Yellow requires PHP extension with more information. This is done in the source code with function checkRequirements(). I am curious, can you tell which problems you encountered, what didn't work as expected, something we can do better?

Mark, I had an older tutorial for Yellow to install. Now I want to write a documentation for me an my colleagues for further use. To document, what I did with Yellow, to get it in current state, is an unloved work, but it must been done. There where currently no troubles with Yellow.

Ah thanks for the clarification. I think we added troubleshooting for common problems last year, hopefully this can cut down your documentation work. If you're done with your documentation and don't mind sharing, please send me a copy.

I can't promise something, but if I get it ready, I'll send a copy. ;-)

On Fedora 38, Yellow required php-gd and php-zip to start.
