ZIP extension needs to be loaded in opencart

Question

I am installing opencart 2.0.1.1 on my hosting but during installation step-2 it says Warning: ZIP extension needs to be loaded for OpenCart to work! I did my search on it but everyone is saying that it is server issue.

I am really stuck at this point. I am newbie in opencart but did my OC installation many time on localhost. Please if anyone have some experience related this issue kindly guide me.

Answer 1

The following command on ubuntu environment resolved my problem:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip

Answer 2

I resolve this issue by different way.

• Install my opencart on localhost
• using ftp, I uploaded it to my server
• did some changes in config.php and admin/config.php
• Export my database from localhost/phpmyadmin
• Created database at my live server and imported my database, which I exported from localhost

And I am good to go :)
