Php zip Module isn't being installed by cyberpanel

Hello I installed cyberpanel in my server. Now I see that it doesn’t install php zip extension automatically.

I tried to enable it but it’s not being enabled. I double checked through a script.

Can anyone tell me how to enable it? Thank you.

& It’ll better if cyberpanel installs it automatically.

What does
yum list installed |grep zip

and this show?
for version in $(ls /usr/local/lsws|grep lsphp); do echo “LSPHP $version”; /usr/local/lsws/${version}/bin/php -i |grep Libzip; done

Also have you restarted LS/OLS since installing them or stopped and started it? Also restart detached php processes or “killall lsphp” as root to ensure its closed stuff

Should look something like this:
[root@wcloud:~]# for version in $(ls /usr/local/lsws|grep lsphp); do echo “LSPHP $version”; /usr/local/lsws/${version}/bin/php -i |grep Libzip; done

if i try to install … it says installed…

so i have to activate it somewhere else?

You know what your right. It looks like lsphp74-zip is missing from the repo and supposed to be included in that rpm but doesn’t show as available in the module when checking php modules.

for version in $(ls /usr/local/lsws|grep lsphp); do echo “LSPHP $version”; /usr/local/lsws/${version}/bin/php -m |grep -i zip;echo “”; done

@usmannasir can you see if this can be fixed upstream?

Thanks to @qtwrk for the fix he provided i got this working on my C7 vps now
if [[ ! -f /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/lib64/php/modules/zip.so ]] && [[ $SERVER_OS == “CentOS7” ]] ; then

Still the same error zip archives not found. LS service also restarted.

I still have this issue as well for php 7.4 and php 8 any solution to this ? I have tried the solution by @Numeriku but its till the same.

Also, i think the recommended OS should stop being CentOS 7 since these packages are missing from all the latest PHP versions. It doesn’t make sense.

lsphp74 Zip Extension Issues With CentOS 7.x

If the zip extension for lsphp74 does not exist or is not working on a CentOS 7.x system, this is because CentOS 7 comes with an old libzip library that does not support PHP 7.4.

Solution:
In order to fix this issue, we need to manually compile and install the zip extension for PHP 7.4, as follows.

Install the two dependency packages:

yum install http://packages.psychotic.ninja/7/plus/x86_64/RPMS/libzip-0.11.2-6.el7.psychotic.x86_64.rpm

yum install http://packages.psychotic.ninja/7/plus/x86_64/RPMS/libzip-devel-0.11.2-6.el7.psychotic.x86_64.rpm
Use pecl to install zip:

/usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin/pecl install zip

echo “extension=zip.so” > /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/etc/php.d/20-zip.ini
Kill or restart lsphp so that the changes may take effect:

pkill lsphp

Is this still the best solution?

The Cyberpanel team hasn’t fixed it yet?

Any solutions for this?

I have tried everything commented above with no success!

Apparently the zip extension is already installed as I received a response
I have PHP8.0.
I have copied a screenshot of the results from entering the above:

Welcome @aslan Happy you are here

Thank you for the comment! Unfortunately I had some issues.

When I entered the following:

# install latest version of zip
$ /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin/pecl install zip
# install specific version of zip
$ /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin/pecl install zip-1.21.1

I receive an error that the extension is already installed and is the same as the release version 1.21.1 install failed.

Also I added the info.php file and tried to access from the url but it goes to a 403 forbidden error page.
I checked permissions for info.php using file manager and enabled read and execute for User, Group and World but it still goes to the error page.

Looks like Centos 7 is at fault here. I’ve updated our installation guide to reflect that.

Centos 7 is supported but not recommended for future installation.

Look for supported OS here: 01 - Installing CyberPanel

Can see the complete discussion here: CyberPanel | How can I install this zip module extensions
