I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04. Now with some scripts such as Limesurvey, when I try to run the update to the scrip, I receive the following error: Abort pclzip.lib.php : Missing zlib extensions. I have checked and zlib is installed and reported back when I check the PHP Info. Below is the result of the phpinfo(). The only think that I cannot seem to change is the Local Value of zlib.output_compression. I have enabled zlib everywhere I can find to do so. Any ideas or help to get that turned on, or if that is even the problem will be appreciated.
zlib
ZLib Support enabled
Stream Wrapper compress.zlib://
Stream Filter zlib.inflate, zlib.deflate
Compiled Version 1.2.8
Linked Version 1.2.8
Directive Local Value Master Value
zlib.output_compression Off On
zlib.output_compression_level 6 6
zlib.output_handler no value no value
Howdy,
After doing some Googling, it sounds like that issue is a compatibility issue with PHP 5.5.
I see this solution worked for one particular blogger:
http://www.thomasmonaco.com/pclzip-lib-php-missing-zlib-extensions/
I had come across that post as well. I will see if I can implement that. It only happens with Limesurvey up to this point using their Update Tool. Worst case I just manually update when needed.
Thanks!!
