Podcast Generator 2.6 Setup Error about podcastgenerator HOT 10 CLOSED

Same issue on Ubuntu16.04/nginx/php7.0 for me.
I installed php7.0-xml and it worked perfectly.

Did you check the error log? Alternatively display errors on screen so you can get more feedback in regards to the missing dropdown form.
One possibility is that your server doesn't not support GETTEXT (localization), were this the case, you will hace a confirmation once you enable error log / display.

Getting the exact same error. On Ubuntu 16.04.2, PHP 7, using Nginx:

[error] 21178#21178: *9 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning:  include(config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/podcastgen/core/includes.php on line 20

Installing php-gettext fixed the issue.

Thank you for pointing that out. Much appreciated. I'll look into that and propose a fix.

this issue seems to be dead, but as it is still "open", I'll leave this here:

I'm saw the same issue on:
fedora 26
PHP 7.1.10-1
apache2.4.27-3

trying to install php-gettext shows:
"Package php-common-7.1.10-1.fc26.x86_64 is already installed"
... so that wasnt to be the fix for me

/var/log/httpd/error_log had lines like this:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() in /var/www/html/podcast/core/functions.php:813\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/podcast/setup/step1.php(20): languagesList('/var/www/html/p...', true)\n#1 /var/www/html/podcast/setup/index.php(61): include('/var/www/html/p...')\n#2 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/podcast/core/functions.php on line 813

after some googling, I installed php-xml , then restarted httpd, and it started working

I was having this same error. Found out by looking at log that i was missing simplexml, gettext and filter. I have this on a FEMP stack with php56 so for me installing this fixed it

pkg install php56-simplexml php56-gettext php56-filter

good luck, hope this works for someone. by the way it would be nice to have the php module requirements under Documentation>Installation>Manual

Hi all - sorry I'm new to docker and trying to figure out how to fix this issue.

What specifically do I need to add to the DockerFile to install php-gettext or php7.0-xml in my podcastgen image?? I would really really appreciate some guidance!

I saw the same error with PHP 7.2 and all those libraries installed. Turned out that my disk space was almost full. Saving settings would replace config.php with an empty file. This didn't issue any error, but after that all the pages would fail since absoluteurl was not defined.

Never delete your config.php otherwise the installer will run again

I didn't delete config.php. I noticed that if you have disk space almost full and try to save settings, the fwrite() deletes everything in config.php, returns 0, and leaves an empty file without issuing an error. Just wanted to point this out in case anyone else ends up here in a similar situation.
