Symfony2 set up

Question

I'm trying to set up sample Symfony2 project as shown here http://symfony.com/doc/current/quick_tour/the_big_picture.html

and after accessing config.php I have this:

Major problems have been detected and must be fixed before continuing:
Add "phar" to suhosin.executor.include.whitelist in php.ini*.

I added this:

suhosin.executor.include.whitelist="phar"

into php.ini, but config.php still show the same message.

Answer 1

1) Check that you edited the correct php.ini, usually a PHP installation has several php.ini (one for CGI, one for CLI, one for APACHE2). Have a look in /etc/php5 for instance.

2) Check in phpinfo() that the parameter is taken in account.

3) Refer to this blog post: [Solved] symfony 2 Major problems Major problems have been detected and must be fixed before continuing: Add “phar” to suhosin.executor.include.whitelist in php.ini*.

The post suggests ensuring suhosin is installed with

sudo apt-get install php5-suhosin

Answer 2

I had the same problem.

What you did is right, as skonsoft says you should check if you have installed suhosin and then add "phar" in your php.ini OR conf.d/suhosin.ini

I did this too and the problem persisted

I found the solution here, it was a problem with my libxml2 library

I have now solved this.

Tracked it down to a libxml2 incompatibility.

Seems that /vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/Loader/XmlFileLoader.php doesn't like libxml2-2.6.22. An upgrade to 2.8.0 has fixed it - with the required PHP recompile to pick up the new libxml2.

Hope this helps someone!
