Help installing xmlrpc extension on hosted server

Hello Everyone,

I need to install the xmlrpc extension on a hosted server but so far I have not been able to work out how to do so. I contacted my hosting company who told me to create a php.ini file containing the appropriate command and put it in the appropriate folder. Because I'm using a hosting company I do NOT have direct access to the main php.ini file that's why I'm required to create a customised file. I really hope this is an issue you can help me with as I've been struggling for a while with this.

Many thanks in advance.

You can contact your hosting provider to place the custom php.ini file in your domain.

Thanks for your reply.

When you say place the php.ini in my domain do you mean in the folder that contains the website? Also, do you know the line of code I need to use in the php.ini to activate the xmlrpc extension?

Thanks again.

Yes, you will have to place the custom php.ini file in your web site. And to enable the xmlrpc you will have to remove the comment on the below mentioned particular line in your php.ini:

On this line in php.ini:

;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll

Just remove ';' and save the file.

Thanks for your help. I know that what you've suggested works in the right environment. Do you know if it works for a Linux server that might not already have the xmlrpc extension installed? In the servers main php.ini file I can't see ;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll so I was wondering if it is actually installed at all. Does this make a difference? By the way I can only read the main php.ini file not edit it. Also, I think I have my custom php.ini file in the correct folder as I have been able to set post_max_size and a few other parameters too. Additionally, the php.info page shows the path to my custom php.ini.

I would be extremely grateful if you could shed some more light on this.

Many thanks again.
