SOAP on EEv4 RC2, PHP 7.2, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

v4
#1

Is this a Docker type thingy I don’t understand, or am I being completely brain dead?

Getting SOAP to run used to be simply a question of apt-getting the module, deleting a semicolon in the php.ini file, a quick restart and Bob used to be your Uncle.

But oh no, not with EEv4, PHP 7.2, Ubuntu 18.04 for some reason.

What gives?

#2

The SOAP extension has been enabled in EasyEngine rc.2 release. Please update if you haven’t already done so - https://easyengine.io/blog/easyengine-v4-second-release-candidate/

But if you have an older beta release, it is better to start with a fresh install.

#3

Thanks, but if you look in the subject it says very clearly that it is EEv4 RC2.

And I also don’t recognise what you are saying because it certainly was not enabled.

#4

How do you check to see if it’s enabled? I have a couple of test sites up on RC2 that I could see if the SOAP extension is running/enabled on mine?

#5

I am not sure if there’s a better way, but if you install the woocommerce plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/ then you can check the WooCommerce status page. It displays a message whether you have SOAP enabled or not.

@terencemilbourn just as the other person recommended, I checked one of my EE4 websites with Woocommerce installed and the SOAP extension is installed

This was a fresh install of EE4 on a VPS isntance that is currently hosted at Vultr.

We have documented php modules shipped with EasyEngine v4 here https://easyengine.io/handbook/php-modules/

#8

It threw a “not configured correctly” error and so I loaded their checker script…

This was a brand new install of RC2 which I have now updated to 4.03 and I am still having this problem.

What are the configuration files I should check to ensure that nothing is misconfigured so that SOAP will be activated.

#10

@rahul286 Yes, the docs says its there but no mention of how to implement or troubleshoot it.

#11

You can check the output of -

ee shell example.com --command='php -m' | grep soap

If it’s empty, that means the extension is not installed.

#12

That’s empty so, for some reason, it hasn’t installed.

So what’s the best way to install it now?

#13

This was a fresh install of RC2 on DigitalOcean then an update to 4.0 then 4.03 and still soap has not installed for some reason.

I am wondering if it would just be best to create a new install with 4.0x and start again.

#14

Can you share the output of the following commands here:

docker images

cd /opt/easyengine/sites/example.com
docker inspect $(docker-compose ps -q php)

I am wondering if it would just be best to create a new install with 4.0x and start again.

Also, can you try it and let us know if it works for you?

#16

@terencemilbourn Please mail the output of these commands to [email protected] as the output might contain sensitive information.

#17

@mriyam.tamuli I mailed it about an hour after you posted.

EEv4.0.4, PHP7.2, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I can confirm that when I installed the latest version [4.0.4], and I ran this command, I got the confirmation that SOAP is now running. So whatever caused it not to load here in RC2, 4.0, and 4.03, is not present in 4.04.

#19

Good to know it started working for you. I am closing this issue. Thanks for using EasyEngine.
