October: Class 'ZipArchive' not found"

[bkrajendra]

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

I've just updated my hosting server to another one.
I'm getting error:

Update failed

"Class 'ZipArchive' not found" on line 52 of /home/..../public_html/vendor/october/rain/src/Filesystem/Zip.php

I understand it must be due to ZipArchive extension.
Is there any alternative? or is this error related to some other issue?

Reproduce steps

update

October build

updating to latest build from 382

You've to install php-zip package.

@bkrajendra Did installing the php-zip extension solve your problem?

[bkrajendra]

I'm on shared linux server. As per docs I guess this library comes in built in Php5.5 above. I'm already on PHP5.6. Not getting what could be the issue.

[MRokas]

php-zip isn't a built-in feature. So you've to either request your host to add it, or move over to better one.

[bkrajendra]

okk. I'll get back after having chat with my host Admin.

The ZipArchive is a server requirement for running October CMS.

It is a fairly common feature to have activated in most hosting environments. If you need some authority figure to make this statement, let us know. Good luck!

Thank you all, got it resolved as hosting admin enabled it from hosting backend.

Godaddy has Archive_Zip v.0.1.2 which I've installed from the cPanel pear package installer. This doesn't seem to have fulfilled the requirement. Has anyone else installed October on goDaddy?

It tells me I have to include the module to my script like this:
ini_set("include_path", '/home/[hash]/php:' . ini_get("include_path") );
