Enable XML-RPC on Xampp

Question

I'm working on a project and I need to connect to Odoo via XML-RPC. The documentation suggests using Ripcord library, and for this I need to enable XML-RPC on my enviroment, but I've got no clue how to do this. I've been googleing for the last couple of days but couldnt find answers on a similar setting that I could understand.

Im working on XAMPP for Mac, and the PHP version is 8.0

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can try to install xmlrpc extension with following commands:

git clone https://git.php.net/repository/pecl/networking/xmlrpc.git
export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/libxml2/
cd xmlrpc && phpize && ./configure --with-expat && make && make install
echo "extension=xmlrpc.so" > /etc/php/8.0/mods-available/xmlrpc.ini

That's how I installed it on my Ubuntu.

Also you can check this if you don't know how to compile extensions on OS X

Answer 2

You can try download xmlrpc extension in pecl website and install the compatible dll into your xampp.

1. Go to https://pecl.php.net/package/xmlrpc and download the dll
2. Copy the .dll file to your xampp/php/ext folder
3. Add this text to your php.ini

extension=php_xmlrpc.dll

4. Restart apache service
5. Done
