I am installing opencart 2.0.1.1 on my hosting but during installation step-2 it says Warning: ZIP extension needs to be loaded for OpenCart to work! I did my search on it but everyone is saying that it is server issue.enter image description here

I am really stuck at this point. I am newbie in opencart but did my OC installation many time on localhost. Please if anyone have some experience related this issue kindly guide me.

my suggestion... do not install OC2.0.1.1. This version has a lot of bugs. The best, if you install at least 2.3.0.2 version. – Brunella
Anything unclear about the error message? Did you install that extension? – Separatist
@NicoHaase the problem was very simple and I was naive at that time. I had to turn on zip extension from php.ini – Pepsin

I resolve this issue by different way.

  • Install my opencart on localhost
  • using ftp, I uploaded it to my server
  • did some changes in config.php and admin/config.php
  • Export my database from localhost/phpmyadmin
  • Created database at my live server and imported my database, which I exported from localhost

And I am good to go :)

The following command on ubuntu environment resolved my problem:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip

Yes, @Idriz, that solved it for me. Don't forget to restart apache sudo service apache2 restart so that the new module can become functional. – Brokenhearted
Also check your php version. 7.2 is now out. – Kulsrud

Re: Warning: ZIP extension needs to be loaded for OpenCart to work!

If you use Cpanel ( Linux base hosting )

On software go to the "Select PHP Version" and check mark the ZIP

It is take 4-5 minutes to update

First, we want to check php.ini file path like similar version or not.
Ex: php7.3 means /etc/php/7.3/apache2/php.ini please make sure it.
Otherwise, we want to run following command: 

sudo a2dismod php5.6 (Your php.ini file path version)
sudo a2enmod php7.3
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Then check now, it's working fine. :)

If you want to install the opencart on your local machine (Windows OS) Just go to the XAMPP control panel > Apache row click the > config button > edit PHP (php.ini) > search zip and uncomment the zip line and save it and restart the Apache server
