Error: SimpleXML is not installed

[hawlast]

I have used ftp to upload the files to the server. But when I go the web browser and point to http://mydomain.com/ I get "Error: SimpleXML is not installed", yet I still get the fields:

Website Name:

Website Base URL:

Our suggestion is: http://www.mydomain.com/

Username:

Email Address:

The web server runs on PHP 5.2.2.

I have .htaccess fille upload:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [L]

I guess i shouldnt show the setup fields if your server can't handle GetSimple. SimpleXML is absolutely required at this point.

@ccagle8
Iam novice...what do you mean, "SimpleXML is absolutely required at this point"?

[ccagle8]

i mean that the site wont work unless you have simplexml installed on your host's server.

if on ubuntu, it's

Code:

sudo apt-get install php5-cli

Thank you so much. I have contacted my host and they have enable simplexml on the server.
