Install failing: FATAL ERROR Uncaught Error: Class "Smarty" not found .....

[daj1u06]

Hi, firstly thank you for trying to keep this brilliant resource going.
I've been running multiple instances of booked 2.7.2 on xampp 7.2.10 on win 7 but am being forced to move to win10 on another PC. I've used latest xampp 8.2.0 and latest Librebooking.
When I point to \Web\install to initiate the installation, I get a fatal error.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Smarty" not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Email\SmartyEmail.php:9 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Email\namespace.php(7): require_once() #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Email\Messages\AccountCreationEmail.php(3): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\Domain\Access\UserRepository.php(7): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\Domain\Access\namespace.php(13): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Common\Validators\TermsOfServiceValidator.php(3): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Common\Validators\namespace.php(20): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Common\SmartyPage.php(8): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #7 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Common\namespace.php(5): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #8 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\Pages\Page.php(10): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #9 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\Pages\Install\InstallPage.php(3): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #10 C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\Web\install\index.php(10): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #11 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked\lib\Email\SmartyEmail.php on line 9

I can't find anything relating to this online.

As per installation instructions, I've followed my notes for my existing installation and I've set config.php with
$conf['settings']['script.url'] = '152.78.6.222:8080/BIUbooked/Web';
(I will have multiple, separate instances of LibreBooking running under one xampp from separate subdirectories in htdocs)
and SYSTEM has full control of tpl and tpl_c folders in C:\xampp\htdocs\BIUbooked

I would be very grateful for any suggestions as this has me stumped. Could it be a PHP issue with PHP 8.2 and I need to revert to xampp 7.2.10?

Many thanks

DAJ

As part of the effort to update librebooking to PHP 8, and also to make it more modern, the smarty template engine was removed and should now be added using composer, just do a composer install on the folder and it will download the latest/correct version and librebooking should be up and running

Thank you so much, I'll give it a go as soon as I can.

I've got the same problem and it does not help to run the composer.
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires stripe/stripe-php ^10.2 -> satisfiable by stripe/stripe-php[v10.2.0, v10.3.0].
- stripe/stripe-php[v10.2.0, ..., v10.3.0] require ext-curl * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's curl extension.
Problem 2
- Root composer.json requires squizlabs/php_codesniffer ^3.7.1 -> satisfiable by squizlabs/php_codesniffer[3.7.1].
- squizlabs/php_codesniffer 3.7.1 requires ext-xmlwriter * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's xmlwriter extension.
Problem 3
- squizlabs/php_codesniffer 3.7.1 requires ext-xmlwriter * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's xmlwriter extension.
- phpcompatibility/php-compatibility 9.3.5 requires squizlabs/php_codesniffer ^2.3 || ^3.0.2 -> satisfiable by squizlabs/php_codesniffer[3.7.1].
- Root composer.json requires phpcompatibility/php-compatibility ^9.3.5 -> satisfiable by phpcompatibility/php-compatibility[9.3.5].

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- /etc/php/8.2/cli/php.ini
- /etc/php/8.2/cli/conf.d/10-mysqlnd.ini
- /etc/php/8.2/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini

You can also run php --ini in a terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
Alternatively, you can run Composer with --ignore-platform-req=ext-curl --ignore-platform-req=ext-xmlwriter --ignore-platform-req=ext-xmlwriter to temporarily ignore these required extensions.

This is the output from composer and the active module from php are as follows:

I reinstalled xmlwrite and Smarty modules for php 8.2 but still the same error messages. Is there anything new that could help?

[effgarces]

Hi, I just took a very quick look at this.
I tested with PHP8.2 on a Debian Buster VM and Librebooking came up ok (after installing it).
First, ensure that the php-cli version that you are using is the same that the webserver is using, confirm this by going to the cli and checking the php version with php -v, after that check the webserver using phpinfo() and confirm that they are the same.
Next you need to install the dependencies mentioned by composer, if you are using debian, they should
be php8.2-curl php8.2-xmlwriter, I also had to install php8.2-mbstring.
After this run composer install again, it should run correctly and Librebooking can now be installed

I installed Smarty via the composer

[effgarces]

Curl seems to be missing from the list of modules.

I installed Smarty via the composer
If Smarty is installed you should be able to proceed and install Librebooking

I installed curl after writing the comment and reisntalled everything via the composer but the error messages are the same.
Im going to install a fresh ubuntu server and try it again

[Xalendis]

After an complete reinstall everything works fine. I dont what the problem was, maybe because I upgraded from php7 but thanks for the help
