We have had issues dealing with a dedicated server that runs 4 or 5 different web sites ..but the one site that requires the Zip Archive needs to be configured just for that  site so that plugins will be abled to be installed, we run a web design and photography company and do not have the time to enable this to work for plugins
this is the error we run into when installing a plugin from the admin panel

Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /home/wwwlaira/public_html/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/language_service.php on line 738

We have been told this was an easy fix,so we are willing to have someone experience to fix this so that we can proceed with the dedication to this new site

please contact Susan,Geoff or Samantha here with information needed and requirements


We use Arvixe Web Hosting and this was their reply (so this is what we need done )
