Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi I need to install or compile the zip.so library for use it with Moodle.

Someone know how to do that?

Thank You.

Hi -

I think you are going to find a problem getting that to work. I was unable to compile zip for 1.8.0. (I have not attempted it with 1.8.1) I think there is a problem with the zip source.

XAMPP/lampp 1.7.7 will work correctly with Moodle. It needs one compile/tweak that can be successfully compiled. The 'tweak' is not actually a 100% requirement for a single machine install, its a component for support of RPC's on a network (Remote Procedure Calls)

I have a post on this (and a working copy of Moodle to show for it)

If you are going to use your server/workstation primarily for Moodle, I know of no reason to use the latest two XAMPP releases - they incorporate both new Apache and PHP major releases (often the source of bugs and incompatibilities)

Good Luck

I think the only solution is your 2nd link, reinstall version 1.7.7. Moodle need the zip.so module and is not available on the latest two 1.8.x versions.

Thanks for your answer.

OK - Good luck
