Class 'Transliterator' not found

[Rajavelu]

Hi,
Got error as Class 'Transliterator' not found while calling geocode in my own setup of Nominatim-3.1.0 in centos7. I am using nginx server and installed php-intl too. (#747).

Note:
Tried as separate test PHP code for Transliterator(as follows) and its working. But in Geocode.php met Class 'Transliterator' not found.

$str = 'àáâãäçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöùúûüýÿ
ÀÁÂÃÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝ';
$rule = 'NFD; [:Nonspacing Mark:] Remove; NFC';

$myTrans = Transliterator::create($rule);
echo $myTrans->transliterate($str);

EDIT: If i called above test PHP in a browser or curl, met the same error. But working fine in terminal

Thanks in advance for any help.

I tested our CentOS7 Vagrant setup (https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/tree/master/vagrant), disabled Apache and setup nginx, imported one country (Monaco) but don't see the same error.

$ rpm --query centos-release
centos-release-7-5.1804.el7.centos.2.x86_64

[vagrant@localhost build]$ curl 'http://localhost/search.php?q=Monaco&format=json&pretty=1'

        "place_id": "100195",
        "licence": "Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https:\/\/osm.org\/copyright",
        "osm_type": "node",
        "osm_id": "1790048269",
        "boundingbox": [
            "43.5711424",
            "43.8911424",
            "7.2597576",
            "7.5797576"
        ],
        "lat": "43.7311424",
        "lon": "7.4197576",
        "display_name": "Monaco, 98020, Monaco",
        "class": "place",
        "type": "city",
        "importance": 0.20375,
        "icon": "\/nominatim\/images\/mapicons\/poi_place_city.p.20.png"
    }
]

So that rules out SELinux permission issues or missing packages at least.

Did you have to install php-intl? Does restarting the services help?

sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Any error messages in /var/log/php-fpm/?

Does searching via the command-line work?

[vagrant@localhost build]$ utils/query.php --search Monaco
[
    {
        "osm_type": "N",
        "osm_id": "1790048269",
        "class": "place",
        "type": "city",
        ....

@mtmail Thanks for your response, and which version of php & php-fpm you are using?
If I called above test PHP(with Transliterator) in a browser or in curl, met the same error. But working fine when running in the terminal(php test.php)

Using php-7.2.6 and php5-fpm together. That may be the issue

[mtmail]

which version of php & php-fpm you are using?

The default for CentOS when fresh installed. That's PHP 5.4.

Is it possible you have two different versions of PHP installed on your system?

Try running php -r 'echo phpversion();' on command line. And add var_dump(phpversion()); inside Geocode.php to figure out which PHP version is running in the php5-fpm environment (the output might go into the webserver error log).
