Question : linux php XSLT installation

I need to be able to use the XSLT Extentions that comes with Dreamweaver 8 but my tests to proccess XSLT fail.

You can check this link for an example:
http://www.travelht.com/carnival/xslttest/test.php
 I have tried MANY tutorials and sites for information on installing domxslt on my server to no avail - either the information is so old that it doesn't apply to my server, the specifed files they suggest aren't there/broken links or the explaination is just too complex for me to grasp.

I'm not used to installing software on a linux box.

My only hope is that you guys will be able to help and explain this proccess and provide the files needed, to a dunce so that I don't break anyhthing.

I really need to upgrade the whole server but even the leasee (EV1 Servers) has had problems with that in the past and I can't afford to be down right now.  They said they would have to do a full re-image.

This is a non-managed server that I lease.

Here r the specs for my box:
Apache Redhat Enterprise 3.2.3-54 Taroon Update 8 Kernel 2.4.21 (phpinfo shows api 2.0.46)
Plesk 7.5.4
MySql 3.23.58
PHP 4.3.2

domxml
DOM/XML  enabled  
DOM/XML API Version  20020815  
libxml Version  20510  
HTML Support  enabled  
XPath Support  enabled  
XPointer Support  enabled  

xml
XML Support  active  
XML Namespace Support  active  
EXPAT Version  expat_1.95.5  

standard
Regex Library  Bundled library enabled  
Dynamic Library Support  enabled  
Path to sendmail  /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i  

I don't think u needed that last STANDARD - but what the hey...

Also - even though I don't see it anywhere - EV1 said earlier today that libxslt was installed - this make me wonder why php doesn't see it - maybe something to do with the php.ini?

As always this problems is urgent!!!

Thanks very much

Answer : linux php XSLT installation

Hi Cliff,

I check again on Plesk's website, there is a php-xslt, if you go to http://www.swsoft.com/en/download/plesk/patches/, you will see "Plesk 7.5.4 for Unix/Linux Patches" section, there's build 75060413.12 for RHEL 3.  If you read the release note, http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk7.5/RedHatEL3.0/psa-7.5.4-rhel3.build75060413.12.i586.txt,

From the 'opt/sitebuilder' directory of your Plesk distribution:
  Sitebuilder-2.1.1-rhel3.build051014.20.i386.rpm
  js-1.5rc5a-1.i386.rpm
  sablotron-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm
  php-xslt-1.0-0.i386.rpm
  psa-sbm2-1.1-49.noarch.rpm

you need to install php-xslt and sablotron, I am not sure if you need js.  However take note that Plesk 7.5.4 only support up to php-xslt-1.0.. so it is quite old.  Hope that at least that version will work with what you need to do.
