An Error Has Occurred! Sorry, your PHP configuration doesn't have support for zlib. Without this, the package manager cannot function. Please contact your host about this for more information.

error i get...

Eudemon

u should contact ur host with the error u get, they should know what it is
probably becuz of something they added to mod_security


Eudemon

contact ur host with the exact error message u get

rd

You NEED to contact your host, so that they allow this.

Seems like a bad hosting provider to me.

purepks0r

thats what they told me;

<Ed>: You'll need to contact the author of the software or refer to their documentation Purepks0r 
<Purepks0r>: is there a way i can install the package from Zilla FTP?
<Ed>: well zlib is just used to unzuip a package so if you knew where the software was trying to unzip it to, then yes


I exactly dont know what to do - yesi m new to this ******

Eudemon

then try to unzip the package on ur local machine
put it into a folder and upload the folder to package folder through ftp

You can't upload a single folder, you would have to first create a folder directory and then upload all the contents of the folder in your desktop, into that directory on the host's server.

Honestly, your hosting provider must be trash and seem unhelpful to me, only the lazy ones point fingers at the script maker. I don't see why they don't have unzipping enabled... I recommend your change host and choose another provider... heck, even oversellers have all this enabled.

Just a recommendation.

purepks0r

Okey i did it it givesm e a error in the website wen i clicked install mod

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

Never heard of that O.o But I will check it out.

I've only used FileZilla, which is pretty much the most popular FTP client and was never able to just drag a file into the FTP account. This was in the past of course, now I use Cpanel for everything :)


purepks0r

Guys can one of you add me on skype ?

Please if u can.

Artiom609 so we can tv \ screen sahre thnaks!!

Eudemon

well, zilla can upload folders now, not sure about the old version
i personally don't like the cpanel's built in file manager  :P

rd

I actually love Cpanel, lol. The only reason because you can decompress and compress zipped files on the fly! Love that feature :)

Anyways, purepks0r.. I don't think anyone will help you using Skype. You should take Eudemon's offer :)

purepks0r

Okey! sent you the ifno :)
thank you for the help i really like it!

Eudemon

oh wow
i can't even go to browse packages

u srsly need to ask your host to disable mod_security or enable zlib support
if they reject it then u should consider switch ur host

i can still manually edit and copy every single code and files that the mod creates
but that's too much headache...
so... first, contact ur host and yell at them  8)

purepks0r

It worked some minutes ago idk why it dosnt work now =S.....

rd

I'd honestly change hosts, your host seems garbage to me. I haven't heard of any host disabling the zlip or causing such an error.
