TwitterHello, I recently embarked installing Joomla onto a domain on our server. Step 2 of the install suggested that Json was not present on the system.
I found some steps to solve this.. here is what I did:
root@server[#] yum update *php*
root@server[#] yum install php-pear
root@server[#] yum install gcc
root@server[#] pecl install json
root@server[#] cd /etc/php.d/
root@server[#] echo extension=json.so >> json.ini
root@server[#] /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Joomla still doesn't recognise the presence of Json, however it now flags this on Step 1 of the install and won't let me move past. I did some further digging to learn that actually PHP 5.3 has the Json libraries present already. Apparently if you ignore the joomla report in step 2 it should just go right ahead and install fine. The problem is that since installing the pecl package of json, I cannot get to step 2 of the Joomla install anymore. I figured it may be practical to reinstall PHP. Some posts I have read suggest this may affect Plesk though because of it's dependencies on php?
Is it safe for me to reinstall PHP on Plesk 10? If so what steps should I follow?
Or is there some other way of me getting Json to work properly with my domains?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Jay
