I was trying to use Duplicator plugin on one of the website using WordPress which is hosted on Dreamhost. Duplicator plugin make use of PHP zip module to compress the wordpress files and build a single package for installation on other location or backup/restore. To my surprise, Dreamhost doesn’t have PHP zip module support but what I love about dreamhost is their good documentation about these type of issues. They do have Wiki article on installing zip module http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PECL_Zip.
I create a zip.sh shell script with the content from Wiki article in Dreamhost user home directory. When I executed the script, I was returned with following error message.

<span style="color: #000000;">/home/userdir/php5/bin/phpize: No such file or directory</span> |
The phpize command is used to prepare the build environment for a PHP extension. The workaround to move forward is pretty easy. Use following commands:
|
1 |
mkdir php5/bin |
|
1 |
ln -s /usr/local/bin/phpize-5.4 php5/bin/phpize |
Run the zip.sh again and everything works as expected.
