The Zip extension is an important task for modern websites, and we enable it on all the servers we manage.
Enabling the PHP zip extension in WHM is a straightforward process that greatly enhances the capacity of your server.
Here’s how to enable it via WHM –
- Log into “WHM.”

- Search “Software” and click on “EasyApache4.”

- Click on “Customize” button,

- Select the “PHP Extension” option.

- Type “ZIP” from the search bar, select the Zip extension, and click on “Next.”

- Now, select “Review and Provision.”
- Click on “Done.”
By following these steps, you can enable the zip extension for all PHP websites on the server.
After enabling the PHP zip extension in WHM, it’s important to ensure that your domains are running the correct PHP versions on each domain for optimal performance. Learn how to configure cPanel’s PHP version setting for each domain to manage your server more effectively. This will help you ensure that each domain on your server is using the correct PHP version which will improve your overall server management.
You can provide a more robust and flexible hosting environment for your users and applications by keeping your server optimised and updated with the necessary extensions.
