#2522: LimeSurvey instance: missing XML support in PHP

Hi,
=== The problem
For some operations, like import and export, !LimeSurvey uses XML encoded
files. Right now, these operations are failing with the following error:
**XMLWriter class not compiled into PHP, please contact your system
administrator
**
=== Possible solution
For what I've found related with this [https://forums.limesurvey.org/forum
/design-issues/96452-xmlwriter-class-not-compiled-into-php-problem error],
eventually this can be fixed by installing `php-xml`.
=== Test
To test the XML support:
0. Login into our [https://limesurvey.osgeo.org LimeSurvey] instance
1. List all surveys
2. Click on the Configuration icon for a survey
3. Choose !Display/Export option
4. Choose Survey structure (.lss)
5. Check if the generated file is a XML file
Thanks!

It really helps to have this support in the Limesurvey instance.
It seems like a easy fix.
Can someone try to install this php-xml module?

I think it's time I reset limesurvey from scratch on debian10.
Unfortunately it's not as simple as installing php-xml since this is a
funtoo system, and I'm having some issue doing an emerge.

I resetup limesurvey on debian10 with php 7.4 and PostgreSQL 13 and then
restored the database backup. It is now on osgeo3.
Can you see if the things you need are present. I couldn't follow the
Configuration icon part. You might not be able to hit it for 24 hrs since
it might take some time for the dns to propagate if you have visited
recently. I shut down the old one to make sure no one is hitting the old
one.

Comment:
Okay figured out where the config icon is and did a export .lss format and
the file contents look like XML. So I assume this is all set.
Since I did a upgrade to latest micro stable Lime and also moved, would be
a good idea to test to make sure everything is still functioning.
Feel free to reopen if still an issue.

It wasn't as easy as I expected 
I've tested it carefully and everything is working.
Thank you so much, Regina.
