I am getting the following when trying to update my plugins via my SHCP-no prob updating manually tho... Error! Error un-zipping archive (1)

Can you try to update them via FTP? (Then refresh the plugins in the control panel) Jake

yeah- I can update them, thats not the problem, just not via the SHCP update option in 2.1.9- its just a huge pain to have to download and then upload all 40 of them individually

You might try setting your permissions to 755 on your directory structure. Not a guaranteed solution, but one less thing to consider. Cheers! -- Smug (and, while no consolation, you can upload a bunch of them at once via FTP)

I used to have this problem all the time. I was creating the zip file by using the "compress files" feature on Mac's Finder. Someone suggested "YemuZip" (a free application), which works perfectly.

The question isn't how to update my plugins- I have done so. It's more Does anyone know why that specific error message would occur in 2.1.9? (Permissions at 755)

Why specifically? Not off hand. I have my hosting with Network Solutions. Others use hostgator, Go Daddy, or some other hosting company. All have slightly different systems, running versions of php, mysql, linux, etcetera. So what works for one host may not be the golden ticket for another. Check your version of PHP, and check to see what the PHP Settings are. Perhaps something that didn't matter in 2.1.8 matters in 2.1.9 The last time I checked, I had these setting, but I might have made some alterations for something else... safe_mode = 0 register_globals = 0 allow_url_fopen = 1 memory_limit = 128M magic_quotes_gpc = Off Cheers! -- Smug

I haven't changed my server settings since I was running 2.1.8 and did not have this issue. The only variable/change is the new installation, 2.1.8, but thanks again for all your comments.

When was the last time you downloaded the BT-Server Package? (The zip file from Buzztouch.com)

last download was 9/11

Have you asked PSMDanny for help? He knows self-hosted pretty well.

I have the same problem, any suggest? Regards.
