When I tried to upgrade kunena forum form 5.x to the latest version 6.x I could not complete the installation as the xml install file was not being read and resulted in a blank page.
I test ran an xml file and got the error below
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file()
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function simplexml_import_dom()
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string()
I was a bit surprised as simplexml is supposed to be build into php from php5.3 onwards.
I was wrong. You still have to install the port below.
php5-simplexml-5.3.2_1 The simplexml shared extension for php
Once done all is working well.
