sh: zip: command not found

Bashed · 07-04-2015, 07:09 PM

Running Centos 6.6 VPS (OVZ) with Centos Web Panel.

Trying to run a Wordpress plugin, getting this in log file

How do I correct this? It appears zip module is already installed as a dependency by default.

I tried a phpinfo.php file using only the following code:

Code:

<?php
var_dump( exec('zip -r domains.zip "domains"') );
// phpinfo();
?>

The php error log is now: [Sat Jul 04 17:44:27 2015] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] sh: zip: command not found

Code:

[root@server ~]# yum install zip

It's already set to 5.4 PHP and zip is already compiled.

"You are running PHP version: 5.4.27"

Installed dependencies first too.

These are the flags which I already compiled.

Code:

./configure
--prefix=/opt/alt/php54/usr
--with-zlib

Output of phpinfo.php ends up being

Code:

string(0) ""

Nevermind, I misread the post.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

The exec function will run zip as an external program versus the internal module. The error is due to zip not being in the Apache path environment. Either use the full path (usr/sbin/zip) or rewrite your code to use php internal zip functions.

Bashed · 07-05-2015, 02:19 PM

Thanks for your help. I changed "zip" to "/usr/bin/zip" in the phpinfo.php file and the out come was:

Code:

string(42) "updating: domains/xxxxxx.co/ (stored 0)"

Now, how do I do change this in the VPS so that path is always defined and able to be called by any script without having to manually define the full path?

I want to add /usr/bin/zip to the executable path for the web server.

I've tried:

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/zip

AND

Code:

cd /usr/bin

Code:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/zip zip

but neither helped

pan64 · 07-05-2015, 03:04 PM

you need to add the dir of the executable, not the app itself, so
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
should have been added, but I'm not really sure about your problem, so this is only a tip now. I do not really understand your last link (ln -s ...) command

michaelk · 07-05-2015, 03:55 PM

There might be other methods but since Apache does not have a shell you can not export a path. To add a path you need to use the setenv directive in the http.conf file.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...nv.html#setenv

Bashed · 07-05-2015, 07:05 PM

"setenv" not found in httpd.conf?

Running Centos 6.6 64bit with Centos Web Panel, Apache 2.4, PHP 5.4

It's not my software to modify it's path internally too, it's obfuscated. So I cannot edit it's own files like that unfortunately.

I ran

ln -s /usr/bin/zip /usr/sbin/zip

Back to

[Sun Jul 05 18:58:19 2015] [error] [client xxx.xxx.23.22] sh: zip: command not found

My simple goal here:
I need to be able to call the command zip from within a PHP script without having to use the direct path /usr/bin/zip because it's out of my control to edit every single plugin needing zip access and modify their path.

pan64 · 07-06-2015, 12:46 AM

if you have zip in /usr/sbin you need to link it by:
ln -s /usr/sbin/zip /usr/bin/zip

I already ran that and it didn't solve the problem. Please read my previous post. I made it very clear I ran that in my last post.

michaelk · 07-06-2015, 06:56 AM

Did you try adding the path to the /etc/sysconfig/httpd and restarting apache.

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

The output of phpinfo() should display the path environment.

Please read carefully I did not write the same command. Your original command cannot work (but probably that was only mistyped, I don't know)

I put that in httpd.conf, restarted httpd but it gave an error and failed to restart.

Also,

[root@server ~]# ln -s /usr/sbin/zip /usr/bin/zip
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/zip': File exists

pan64 · 07-06-2015, 12:34 PM

obviously, it won't work in httpd.conf or similar file, that command should be used in shell.
also if that file exists you cannot create a link, that is normal.
what will

Code:

file /usr/bin/zip
file /usr/sbin/zip

respond?

michaelk · 07-06-2015, 01:21 PM

/etc/sysconfig/httpd is not the same thing as /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf.

Bashed · 07-06-2015, 01:24 PM

/etc/sysconfig/httpd

Doesn't exist.

Running Centos 6.6 64bit to clarify.
