    Hi @fivestarg!

    Is it possible for you to enable XMLWriter in PHP, or ask your host to do so for you? That would be the way to fix this. I noticed you said it was installed – but the Braintree code running here is doing a simple extension_loaded( 'xmlwriter' ) check – so if it is loaded, there’s something deeper at a server level here to uncover.

    Thank for the quick reply!

    I did have to install php7.0-xml as it was not installed.
    The I added the extension setting in php.ini and checked the install.

    this command: php -i | grep “xml” give me the following output

    php -i | grep “xml”
    /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/15-xml.ini,
    /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-simplexml.ini,
    /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-xmlreader.ini,
    /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-xmlwriter.ini,
    xmlrpc_error_number => 0 => 0
    xmlrpc_errors => Off => Off
    libxml Version => 2.9.3
    libxml
    Simplexml support => enabled
    xml
    libxml2 Version => 2.9.3
    xmlreader
    xmlwriter

    the extension is enabled (extension=xmlwriter.so)

    I have full control. It is on a VPS with root access

    I just cant understand what dependencies I could be missing

    I figured it out. I had to also install php-curl

    then after a reboot the plugin activated successfully!

    Thanks for the help though
