Configuration warning: 'GD and/or Zip PHP extensions not found'

we’ve got a CentOS 5.3 box running the latest redhat-release php 5.1.6 with all relevant updates installed. We have several sites running MODx-1.0.2 and all are functioning perfectly. We just tried to update several to MODx-1.0.3 and get this error

Configuration warning: ’GD and/or Zip PHP extensions not found’

It installs fine on CentOS 5.3 with php 5.2.x.

any ideas?

thanks!

Same here - just upgraded from site working fine and now get this:

Configuration warning: ’GD and/or Zip PHP extensions not found’

What does this mean?
MODx needs the GD and Zip extension enabled for PHP. While MODx will work without them, you will not be able to take full advantage of the built-in File Manager, Image Editor or Captcha for logins.

How to fix, please?

Hi,
I had the same problem and I’ve fixed it by adding extension=zip.so in my php.ini.

nope, still there

Check your php.ini display, the first block that shows how PHP was compiled; if PHP isn’t compiled with zip, then it’s not available. If it’s not available, then you can’t use the unzip feature of the file manager.

Thank Susan.

Here’s how we addressed this:

the following was condensed from this page -- https://bugs.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=thread&topic_id=17869&forum=41&post_id=64879

the problem is that CentOS does not include the php-zip extension. to enable it,

install the yum-priorities repo

yum install yum-priorities

then install the EPEL repo

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

then install the zip extension

yum install php-pecl-zip

restart apache

service httpd restart

and it should be good to go!!

Get also that error at domainfactory.df.eu.

My php.ini lists.

Command ’./configure’ ... ’--with-gd’ .... ’--with-zlib-dir=../zlib-1.1.3/’ ... ’--with-zlib’ ...

Shouldn’t that be ok?

No. zlib is not zip.

uups didn’t had my glasses in reach ..

thx

That’s not how I meant that; I thought the same thing until I did some research in the PHP manual and found out they are quite different libraries that do different things.

The SkinGraft module uses the pclzip zip library class file, and the bkupMODx module has its own zip library (modelzip?). Both require zlib to be in PHP. zlib will only zip one file, so to use it you have to loop through directories, zip up each file and add them to the main zip file. Likewise unzipping.
