file_exists(): Unable to find the wrapper "sftp" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

This is the error I get on a fresh Ubuntu Server 14.04 install.

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: file_exists(): Unable to find the wrapper "sftp" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

Filename: libraries/Template.php

Line Number: 2610
Solution

  • I tried to install and enable the ssh2 extension without results! I was sure that this would solve the issue, until I found out that I was trying to access the local file via sftp://srv/.. rather than just /srv/.. (ouch!)

    Thanks for all your help!
