Operations with archives are not available Topic is solved

[Paul]

While using the Tiny File Manger, I selected two files that I uploaded and clicked on the Zip icon to zip the two files together, but got the error: "Operations with archives are not available". Is there a nuBuilder setting I need to change for this to work?

I was able to use the .tar function instead, since Winzip is able to open .tar files. However, it would be nice to have the .zip functionality.

I asked ChatGPT:

The error comes from Tiny File Manager, not nuBuilder. Zip archives require the PHP ZipArchive (or zlib) extension. Without it, you get the message:
"Operations with archives are not available".
Tar works because Tiny File Manager can fall back to PharData.

Solution
Enable the ZipArchive extension in PHP:

Debian/Ubuntu:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install php-zip && sudo service apache2 restart

RedHat/CentOS:

Code: Select all

sudo yum install php-pecl-zip && sudo systemctl restart httpd

Windows: Uncomment

Code: Select all

extension=zip

in php.ini and restart Apache/IIS.
