I have tried a number of hosting servers and can't find one that can run Oxwall I get this error with all of them

Your hosting account doesn't meet the following requirements:

  • zip PHP extension not installed

Please correct these before you can proceed with Oxwall installation. Complete server requirements list and compatible hosting can be found at Oxwall.org/hosting

Can the software be fixed to run on any server
a lot of servers say "Zip PHP Extension" is installed but the software can not be installed however it can be installed with Softaculous but wont update

Unfortunately, Unless the staff can shed light up on this, Oxwall wont install until the Server has met all of the requirements. Have you tried any of the Recommended hosts?


If you have, I recommend you use the Host I use, Infact the Host uses Oxwall as its community network. http://tlchosting.co.uk/

I have looked at the Recommended hosts but they cost 2 much
