I am getting this error when running cron.php on a Magento 1.9 site that I recently migrated to a new server. Everything was working correctly on the old one, now I get the error below:
Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() in var/www/app/Mage.php:767
Line 767 on that file is as follows:
$localConfig = simplexml_load_file($localConfigFile);
I used function_exists('simplexml_load_file') right above that line and that came out true. I also checked that I have have all the required libraries in place. I also tried to run the cron.php file using a terminal (I am on a Plesk server) and it worked just fine.
Current environment:
- Plesk 18.0.64 on AlmaLinux 8.10
- PHP 7.1.33
- Apache + nginx
The setup is the same as the old server, I just migrated to a more powerful machine.
Anyone with an idea of what is going on here? What am missing?
