There was an error unpacking your file ???

Permalink
Hi all

I'm having one of those 'head-hitting-desk' moments here - I keep getting this error when I try to Download add-ons from the Marketplace via Dashboard\Add Functionality;

"The following errors occurred when attempting to process your request:
* There was an error unpacking your file. Perhaps you have not uploaded a valid zip file, or you do not have zip installed."

The confusing thing is this funtion worked for me in January and February - eg. Tweeter, Simple News etc. But why would this funtion stop working for me now? I have been trying to install 'Page Redirect Block' and 'Galleria Image Gallery'.

I have spoken with my web hosts and they say they can't see anything wrong. They are now asking me if I am able to edit the path to zip, but I can't see that option in the Dashboard - Help!?

Many thanks,
Anthony

looks like zip isn't installed or enabled.

It looks that way doesn't it, thanks for the reply.

I think I have found the paths to the zip in C5 and I have passed the following onto my web host as I could not find 'unzip' or 'zip' folders within the /usr/bin' folder (via FTP);

You need to recompile it with zip enabled

Solved!

My web hosts told me to point the two above zip paths to here instead: '/usr/local/bin/unzip' and '/usr/local/bin/zip'.

Hurrah =)
