Anti-Squish Score Server Back Online

We recently moved from a server in the United States to an Australian based server. During the transition a few things got broken. I’m not sure if anyone actually noticed but Anti-Squish’s score server was down for almost two weeks, oops!

Although I’d transferred across the score server files and the database, the score server was crashing for some reason. It took a bit of investigation as I was a bit confused as to why the server was crashing outright instead of throwing an exception. After a bit of poking around I stumbled across the following error in httpd’s error log:

PHP Fatal error: Class ‘DOMDocument’ not found in /var/www/html/ScoresServer/index.php on line 64

Turns out our server didn’t have the XML modules installed for PHP which was causing a fatal crash within PHP (no exception is thrown when a class can’t be found). Once I knew this the fix was of course as simple as SSHing into our server and entering the following:

yum install php-xml
service httpd restart

Anyway, the score server is now up and running again so go download Anti-Squish or Anti-Squish Lite from the Android Market!
