json error with zc 1.5 eventhough json installed

[bangsters]

Hi. I have a client that upgraded to zencart 1.5. In Admin login, he gets a blank page, and the debug error shows:

[29-Feb-2012 11:06:53] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_encode() in /home/domain/domain.com/html/admin/includes/init_includes/init_admin_history.php on line 34


Hi. I have checked my /etc/php.d/json.ini and have this: extension=json.so

I also checked my php compile settings and I have json in there.

Older versions of zencart appear to be working fine.

We are running PHP 5.2.17 with litespeed

Please advice.

Thank you

Thanks but I already checked that page :)

i believe it's the json error, but then we are running 5.2.17 and json is built in.

If it's saying the function is undefined, then whatever instance of PHP your store is using doesn't have json available to it.
It would seem as though you're editing the wrong files, or if you changed settings without restarting the PHP and/or Apache processes, then the changes won't be available yet.

Thanks!! Got it fixed. I ended up recompiliing php. Original config was --enable-json=shared. I recompiled PHP 5.2.17 and change --enable-json=shared to just --enable-json.

Weird... =enable-json=shared worked fine when we were using apache. with litespeed i'm not sure why it didn't work.
