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

Quote from: sottwell at Apr 12, 2010, 11:25 AM

Ok, here’s a more selective plugin that just removes the GD and Zip error. It’s really not a good idea to be removing all errors; one of them might be important. Remove the leading <?php tag if you use this.

<?php
// turn it into an array for easier handling, 
//there are too many HTML tags and line endings to work directly with the error string
$errors = explode('Configuration warning', $modx->placeholders['config_check_results']);
// dig through the array for the GD and Zip warning
foreach($errors as $key=>$value) {
    if(strpos($value, 'GD and Zip') !==false) $gdkey = $key;
}
//drop the GD and Zip warning
unset($errors[$gdkey]);
// the first element will be the error list heading
if(count($errors)>1) {
        // put it back together
        $string = implode('Configuration warning', $errors);
        // replace the error message
        $modx->placeholders['config_check_results'] = $string;
} else {
        // no other errors, don't show the tab at all
        $modx->placeholders['config_display'] = 'none';
}
return;

Hi Susan,

Where would I put that code please.

Thanks

As for the first one I posted, it’s a plugin and uses the OnManagerWelcomeHome system event.

In the Manager, go to Elements -> Manage elements, the Plugins tab, and make a new plugin.

thanks Susan

In FreeBSD 8

needed to install /usr/ports/devel/libltdl22

and recompile php adding: --enable-zip

Works now no warning.

I’m trying to use Susan’s single-line plugin, but the php keeps getting rewritten with \’ instead of ’.... anyone have any ideas why?

UPDATE: Seriously, everything I paste or type with quotes gets backslashed. None of the other plugins are having this problem and I know it isn’t an issue with the content I’m pasting or typing (as I’m using what Susan posted - either pasted or retyped). Never had this problem before. Completely frustrated.

SOLVED: I switched MAMP back to PHP 5.2.13 which has fixed it. magic_quotes were Off in 5.3, so I’m still not sure why there was a problem, but I’m moving on.

Hi,

For any Onesmarthost customers we will be updating our servers PHP Configuration late this evening to enable PHP Zip support which should remove this warning.

I have to do the same with a windows server. Do you have a link with some instructions.
Or is it just a module/extension that needs to enabled.

Would this be enough?

Thank you

Hi,

On our Windows Servers which run PHP5 in FastCGI Mode we just added this to the php.ini of the server:

[PHP_ZIP]
extension=php_zip.dll

Then you will need to do an iisreset

Thanks, plugin does fine == no more configuration in red == no more clients mailing "wassup?"
I am on CentOS 5.3 running BlueOnyx and I have to wait for a Php-update rather than install or compile stuff myself. Also I needed the plugin localhost on MAMP 1.8 (didnt check new MAMP 1.9 yet).

I’m also getting the "Configuration warning: ’GD and/or Zip PHP extensions not found’" error. The php info file it says that GD is supported so I don’t understand why I’m getting the error.

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.2.1
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

I just went live with a site and was not getting this error on my testing server. The hosting provider for the live site thinks it’s an issue with the application itself which isn’t retrieving the sever settings. Since I wasn’t getting the error on the testing server (out in the wild, not local) I’m thinking it’s the hosting provider that my client is using.

Does anyone have any info or suggestions?

@Jules - you have GD which means you are most likely missing the Zip extension.
