Question
PHP 7.0 - ZipArchive Library is missing or disabled
After setting up a new 512mb web server droplet using: Ubuntu 14.04 // NGINX // PHP7.0 // MariaDB // Wordpress
I get the following error message using my backup app:
PHP ZipArchive Library is missing or disabled
I never encountered this error before on my other droplets with identical configs so I guess this is a recent change in some package. Strangely plugin via wordpress backend unzip/install works fine.
Does anyone know how to enable this feature with php7.0?
Here are the relevant entries from my php-info file: PHP Version 7.0.3-8+deb.sury.org~trusty+2
Additional .ini files parsed /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-zlib.ini
Registered PHP Streams compress.zlib, phar
Registered Stream Filters zlib.*
ZLib Support enabled
Stream Wrapper compress.zlib://
Stream Filter zlib.inflate, zlib.deflate
Compiled Version 1.2.8
Linked Version 1.2.8
zlib.output_compression Off Off
zlib.output_compression_level -1 -1
zlib.output_handler no value no value
I know it says zlib.output_compression Off Off but I have the same setting on another droplet and there it works the only difference on my other droplets is that PHP7 was installed as an upgrade to PHP5 while on my faulty droplet PHP7 was installed not as an update

Hello Dear Friends, I am having the same issue, have installed php7.0 zip as mentioned. Added extension=zip.so in the php.ini file and still having the following error:
*importing slider setings and data… no custom animations found, if slider uses custom animations, the provided export may be broken… dynamic styles imported! Error: Wrong export slider file format! This could be caused because the ZipArchive extension is not enabled.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
UPDATE: I have read that I need to recompile php with --zip extension enabled. I do not know how to do it. And I am worried that I might lose my config in php.ini. I will lose it right ? so I need to back up ? Would it affect any other configuration ?
UPDATE 2: zip looks like enabled in info.php
