Title: [Plugin: Duplicator] Package compression Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Duplicator] Package compression * Resolved [dm4n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dm4n/) * (@dm4n) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicator-package-compression/) * Hello. * Duplicator is creating an uncompressed folder in the wp-snapshots folder- see attached logs. * I’ve requested from Host to install ZipArchive extension on the server side. If this isn’t possible- can the uncompressed folder be used/ zipped and used for backup and restore- I want to create a localhost clone of a live site. * The Server Compatibility check: * SERVER CHECKS PHP Version: 5.2.10 [0] (5.3+ is highly recommended. 5.2.17+ is required) Web Server: Apache [1] Safe Mode: Off [1] Open Base Dir: Not Enabled[ 1] Compression: Not installed [-1] (ZipArchive extension required for compression) * The log file (anonymised domain-names) * 04:59:11 log:act__system_check=>content_size: 31.8MB 04:59:11 log:act__system_check =>create new package 04:59:15 ********************************************************* 04:59:15 START PROCESSING 04:59:15 duplicator:0.2.7 | wp:3.3.1 | php:5.2.10 04: 59:15 server:Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 PHP/5.2.10 mod_psoft_traffic/ 0.2 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_macro/1.1.2 04:59:15 browser:Mozilla/5.0( Macintosh;

Your server has to be compiled with “–enable-zip” for the Duplicator to archive your files. * ON HOSTED SERVERS Just contact your hosting provider and tell them you want PHP with Zip support so that the “ZipArchive Class” will work. If they don’t know what your talking about or will not enable it then I would suggest getting a new hosting provider. This is a very common feature and is available on almost all shared hosting environments. * ON YOUR COMPUTER If your trying to use the Duplicator on your own computer you will to to make sure the Zip extensions are enabled. Check your php.ini file for the following: * On Windows: extension=php_zip.dll On MAC and Linux: extension=zip.so * For more details see: [http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php](http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php) * BTW in the future you might not want to post your log files to the board as they are usually not liked by the moderators and have sensitive info. If you have a large log file, please submit it to support.lifeinthegrid.com * Hope this helps!
