I have switched over to a VPS server about a month ago. Everything is pretty straight forward and easy. But I have ran into one problem and I cannot seem to figure it out. I have a site where you can create aform and download the zip file. Yet I am getting an error. ("This application requires the Zip extension you will not be able to download zips unless you install this extension.") I have looked all over to find this extension. I thought it was already enabled via php. Any help would be appreciated. I have root access. I can get to WHM and CPanel...

  You can probably do this through EasyApache, and someone will probably chime in pretty soon with details on how to do that. But for me, I always thought it was easier to: Download PHP source from php.net Run a phpinfo() off of the current PHP install. Grab the ./configure line from that output. Tack an '--enable-zip' at the end of the configure line. Run that modified configure line from the downloaded and extracted PHP source. make make install Done The EasyApache way is probably going to be easier for someone that's not familiar with the command line and compiling code. But I like the straight-forwardness of my approach.
