PHP-7.4-XMLRPC-Custom-Startup-Script

This is a example of how to install the XMLRPC PHP extension in a custom Startup Script on Azure. This is the recommended way of installing extra depenencies if using "Blessed"/Builtin App Service Docker images.

To have the application start using this startup script, do the following:

• Use an FTP client to copy the startup.sh file to /home (not /home/site/wwwroot).
• Go to the Azure Portal for the Web App -> Configuration -> General Settings -> in Startup Command put /home/startup.sh.
• Click Save. Optionally restart the application.
• Now when reviewing Application Logs you should see stdout for XMLRPC and related dependencies be downloaded. You can validate this go going to Kudu -> SSH -> running php -m | grep "xml" and should now see xmlrpc under the listed modules.

NOTE: In the startup script, you don't have to specify the actual startup command for the PHP7.x Docker Containers as the command apache2 -D FOREGROUND is ran as a second argument regardless.
