<li><a href="http://www.php.net/" target="_blank">PHP</a> scripting language (version 4.1.0 \r
or later), with the following settings: \r
<ul>\r
- <li><a href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/" target="_blank">GD library</a> turned ON, with \r
- support for JPG and PNG formats</li>\r
+ <li><a href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/" target="_blank">GD library</a> \r
+ turned ON, with support for JPG and PNG formats</li>\r
+ <li>zlib library turned ON (if you want to use backup/restore on Windows)</li>\r
<li>Sessions support turned ON</li>\r
<li>File uploading turned ON</li>\r
<li>Safe Mode must be turned OFF (see the forums on moodle.org for problems \r
<li>You're nearly there now! The rest of the setup is all web-based. Visit \r
<a href="http://localhost/moodle/admin/" target="_blank">http://localhost/moodle/admin/</a> \r
with your browser to continue the setup via your browser.</li>\r
+ <li>To use zip files with Moodle (for example the backups use zip) you might \r
+ need to enable "zlib". You can do this by going to your EasyPHP \r
+ directory (<strong>C:\Program Files\EasyPHP</strong>), and running the program \r
+ phpini.exe in there. Put a mark in the checkbox next to "zlib.dll". \r
+ Close that window, then go to the black E in your toolbar and right-click \r
+ it to get a menu - select "Restart" from this menu.</li>\r
<li>Lastly, you need to set up some sort of cron. See the <a href="./?file=install.html">Installation \r
guide</a> for more details on this.</li>\r
</ol>\r
<li>Make sure you enable the GD module so Moodle can process images - you \r
may have to edit php.ini and remove the comment (;) from this line: 'extension=php_gd2.dll'. \r
</li>\r
+ <li>Make sure you enable the Zlib module so that you can create and unpack \r
+ zip files from within Moodle.</li>\r
<li>Make sure sessions is turned on - you may have to edit php.ini and fix \r
the directory for <strong>session.save_path</strong> - instead of the default \r
"/tmp" use a Windows directory like "c:/temp".</li>\r
