this is happening because of your server, not C5.
I believe it has to do with "allow_url_fopen", some hosts have this disabled. If you have access to a php.ini file for your domains hosting then you can change the allow_url_fopen settting to on. that may or may not work depending on your host.

Thx, jelthure. I have e-mail my host. I will report on progress.

Hi All,

My host fixed the php.ini issue... now when I try to download from with C5 I get this:

<<The package could not be installed:

There was an error unpacking your file. Perhaps you have not uploaded a valid zip file, or you do not have zip installed.>>

What do I do? Thx!

Peter,
In the dashboard can you go into the "Sitewide Settings" and then "Debug" and copy/paste all the contents of the "Environment" textarea for me to look at.

Here 'tis!

Thanks so much!!! -Pete

Ok at first glance looks like you have everything you need, what package are you trying to install? You may at this point just need to remove the downloaded package and try grabbing it again.

It happens with anything I try to d/l!

ok I would then double check that the folder permissions are correct for the /packages and /concrete/packages folders. they should be set to 755, but you could also try 777 if 755 doesn't work.

Other then that I have no clue what could be causing the issue.

this link might lead you in the right direction as well:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/there-was-an...
