    And that is why I wrote the plugin to supress these errors, so that you don’t have to worry about upgrades. That’s what plugins are for.

          Just upgraded from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 just to keep up with the jones... but bam I get the red config warning too!
          So I google over to this forum about it and I just have to post this rant.
          And it’s on a production cPanel server that has paying customers.
          I’m too afraid to recompile php and risk down time at 3am!
          It would be nice if these bleeping#%^o@! upgrades did not require a bleeping$^&$ recompilation of things.
          zip is not that popular on centos I guess and guess what... a large majority of web servers run on centos with yum installed php!

          CentOS Linux 5.5, PHP Version 5.2.11 and Webmin tells me "All installed packages are up to date!

            Yeah, that irritates me too. Hopefully it eventually will be optional, or have a "don’t show this again" button. You can prevent its display to all but Admin users in the site Configuration. You can stop it altogether with the plugin or by editing the files mentioned in the previous posts.

              Except that I’m the admin so I see the red warning all the time. lol
              And I don’t like to suppress warnings.

              Maybe I’ll make a new server that is modx friendly because it looks like modx will not be able to be run on a lot of current servers.
              If you want modx to become as popular as joomla you might need to stop requiring all these these geek compilation things.

                It runs just fine without zip or gd, although without gd you’ll have a problem with image management through image type TVs and the TinyMCE editor’s image browser; it needs GD to make its thumbnails. The only problem with not having zip is that in the file manager you won’t be able to unzip any zip archives. Most add-ons that need to use zip (such as the BkupMODx backup utility) include their own zip library. So these aren’t really critical issues, they’re just nice to know.

                  Well then I suggest that in future modx upgrades that if you want modx to ZIP then modx should also include it’s own zip library too.

                    I found a repository that updates php to 5.3.5 with zip on Centos.
                    http://www.centric-it.com/2008/03/13/installing-php-52x-on-redhat-es5-centos-5-etc/

                    Just change the epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm to epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
                    A warning is that if you upgrade php from an older version it won’t work right with magic quotes on.

                      I suppose I could install the plugin, but there is obviously a bug somewhere.
                      Configuration warning: 'GD and/or Zip PHP extensions not found'

                      meanwhile PHPinfo shows me
