Joomla! Discussion Forums

Good day,

I've been looking at a few of the posts where others got this error, and I haven't found a solution as of yet.

I currently run two servers:

Server 1:
Mac OS X 10.3.9
PHP4.3.11
MySQL4.0
joomla installs:  1.0.10(Japanese) and 1.0.11(English)

Server 2:
Mac OS X 10.4.8
PHP5.1.6
MySQL5.0
joomla installs:  1.0.11(english)

I am currently migrating and building new sites on Server 2 (primarily due to MySQL 5.0 and UTF8).  Anyway, on Server 2, whenever I try to install a module/component/template, I am getting  Unrecoverable error "PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10)"

I test the exact same module/component/template on a dev joomla install on Server 1 and it installs without issue. 

I also try to unzip the files on server 2 manually, and that works with no problem.

I did a phpinfo for both systems to compare the zip properties of php.ini thinking this might be cause:

You'll note that they are pretty much identical.  Server 2 has the added capability of bzip2.  I'm really at a loss as to where this error is coming from.  Is there somewhere in Joomla that I can set the zip settings?  or is the problem with php.ini?  or perhaps with gzip/bzip2 itself?

All comments and help welcome

Did you ever get a fix...?
Post here if you did,

Thanks

Yes... actually, with the help of people on the Apple Forums, I managed to get a resolution to this problem.  The problem was in the binary install of PHP that I had from Marc Lyniage's Entropy.  Apparently it wasn't compiled with all the necessary resources.  A person on the apple forums helped me to rebuild PHP from scratch.  After doing so, Joomla was a happy camper and handled the zip files properly. 

wow thats a big fix, thanks
