    Setup Zip & Unzip in Ilias Install & Paths

    Hello,

    I am an Admin for my company.We are in the process of testing the ILIAS LMS with one of our projects. 

    I installed and configured the LMS. However, I had one question.

    In tools, what is the best program to use for ZIP and Unzip for the LMS?

    Ilias suggested Info-zip & Info Unzip or Wiz. However, these programs are old and it is difficult to obtain approval on old software that does not support Windows 7 and Redhat 5.

    Is there a product that is more popular that can be used for this?

    Will 7-Zip work? We have software restrictions and I cannot get WIZ or Info-Zip approved.

    The system will be installed on both Windows and Linux.

    What would be the best utility to use for this?

     

    Your help is appreciated

    Thank You

    Hi,

    for the linux part just install zip and unzip from the distribution, using gzip didn't work for me.

    On the Windows side I would just try to configure the path to 7-zip (command line version) in the ILIAS setup and try to zip/unzip a file or folder. Probably you have to pass an option to 7-zip so it creates .zip archives and not .7z.

    Pascal Schmitt has created a windows- version running from any usb-stick, maybe you can use the zip version includes there (see itfreak.ch).

    Regards

    Ingo

    Hi

    My XAMPP package does not contain any zip other than the one shipped with the original ILIAS package.

    On my productive Linux server I use "-0q" options so only archives are generated but no compression is made. This is to lower the server load.

    Hello everyone,

    I know that this is a really old thread but I am having somewhat the same issue.

    I am trying to test ILIAS 6 on a windows laptop locally using XAMPP but I cannot zip or unzip files and I really need to upload some scorm content but the lessons never unzip.

    How can I make it work, the documentation for zip/unzip here is really old and all the links are unsuable, how can I solve this.

    Thank you in advance
