try using zip from a command prompt and make sure it works.

take a look at my post:

use the manual command listed in the post. If the error is like the one I got, I included the solution. If it's not, past whatever error you get in this topic.

I try the DOS version and 98/NT version of zip and unzip, all fail!

I also try using it at command prompt and zip file was created.

I am also having this same problem. I'm running 2003 Server, IIS 6, Php 4.3.10, and MySQL 4.1.10. I have a totally stock install of Gallery2 that I grabbed from CVS.

I have also downloaded the necessary zip and unzip exe's and placed them in my "data" directory. (as per another post) I have given "Everyone" full permissions on this dir and the exe's, and they work perfect from the command line. I have also tried giving the various IIS accounts full perms as well with no luck.

When I put the full path (E:\Inetpub\Gallery\data\zip\zip.exe) I get the "Unable to create a zip file from this binary" message. Is this a issue with Windows platforms maybe? I'm at a loss and would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks, and this is my first post to these boards...

I just committed some code that will show you the debug output when it tries to test the zip binary. Get the next nightly and try again, then cut/paste the debug output you see in here and we'll figure it out.

jrandall - I do have the 132kb exe... I saw that post as well

bharat - Okay, I'll grab the latest from CVS tonight and post the results here. Oh and normally I would have tried to check the logs etc but I play in the shallow end of the pool when it comes to php and MySQL. Thanks, and I will follow up on this tonight or Monday.

Here's my debug...

Executing: cmd /c " "E:\Inetpub\Gallery\data\zip\zip.exe"
"e:\inetpub\Gallery\data\tmp\zip17A.tmp.zip"
"e:\inetpub\wwwroot\gallery\modules\zipcart\Admin.inc" 2>
"e:\inetpub\Gallery\data\tmp\g2d17B.tmp" "
file_exists(e:\inetpub\Gallery\data\tmp\g2d17B.tmp)
filesize(e:\inetpub\Gallery\data\tmp\g2d17B.tmp)
unlink(e:\inetpub\Gallery\data\tmp\g2d17B.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:
Status: -1 (expected 0)

Looks to me to be a perm issue on the tmp dir... I bet the IIS user needs exe privs on the tmp folder. I will apply necessary perms and update this post.

Update: no dice on the permissions change. the tmp folder is essentially created by the iis user for gallery2. and hence full perms. a 777 in *nux land. I also moved the exe's to the tmp dir with no luck, and allowed script s AND executables in my IIS setup. no luck ther either...
