XF 2.2 Error when upgrading to 2.2.8: Class 'DOMDocument' not found

[brunoa]

After uploading the files and running php cmd.php xf:upgrade on command line, I get this error. My server passed the requirements test though.

Need an urgent solution as the forum is currently down... thanks!

Problem solved. Had to finish the installation through the web browser, by going to the forum url /install, after completing the first part through command line.

It finished rebuilding the master data in 5 minutes or so and the forum automatically reopened.
