[Xaseco] Aseco not starting correctly, PHP Fatal Error in aseco.log

[c0xcopi]

Whenever I try to run the Aseco.sh, and then look at the logfile.txt, I can see

Code: Select all

[XAseco] PHP Version is 7.3.27-1~deb10u1 on Linux
[XAseco] Load settings [config.xml]

but then it stops. I took a look at the aseco.log file, and there is a 'PHP Fatal error':

Code: Select all

# initialize XASECO ###########################################################
[XAseco] PHP Version is 7.3.27-1~deb10u1 on Linux
[XAseco] Load settings [config.xml]
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /home/game/TRACKMANIA/xaseco/includes/xmlparser.inc.php:29
Stack trace:

#3 {main}
  thrown in /home/game/TRACKMANIA/xaseco/includes/xmlparser.inc.php on line 29

I am not sure where this issue comes from and how I would go about fixing it, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Look's like you don't have a xml parser installed.
Use this command over remote console with root rights:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install php-xml

If you have a apache server installed you need to restart the apache after php module installation.

Code: Select all

sudo service apache2 restart

You need to restart the apache after installation.

Code: Select all

sudo service apache2 restart

Nah, Xaseco1/2 doesn't use Apache.

sudo service apache2 restart

Nah, Xaseco1/2 doesn't use Apache.

If you install a new php module on the server it requires a apache restart before the module will be loaded.
This have nothing to do with Xaseco.

Yes, but nothing in the OP refers to any web server so it's irrelevant to the topic.

Well, now i understood what you mean. ^^
No need to restart apache if there is non installed ... i have changed my post.
Thx for the hint.

This worked for resolving the error, however I'm now faced with:

Code: Select all

It seems that I need to downgrade PHP from my 7.x version to a 5.x version, however the old PHP versions seem to not be installable, do you have a link or a tip on how to do that, if its even possible?

Modernizer can be an option.
