Hi,

If your system has the Compress::Zlib module installed, you will just be able to click on the file PHP-Nuke-5.5.tar.gz and it will open it up and show you all the files in it and ask you where you want to extract the file to.

If you don't have this module, then the program can only handle tar files, not .tar.gz files. If you click on the file and it asks you to download it, then your missing the module.

Cheers,

Alex

More questions

1 important Q: Is this one of those script that I can't install myself? cuz I'm not running my own server

If YES then disregard the rest of my postPirate

How do I go about in installing these bad boys? Do I install them inside cgi-bin or wherever?

I have no clue what the heck I'm doing so a little more help are needed.

Code:
# Filename: config.in
#
# written by Paul Marquess <Paul.Marquess@btinternet.com>
# last modified 17th February 2001
# version 1.11# 1. Do you want to build zlib as well?
#
# If not, set the BUILD_ZLIB variable to False.
#
# If you want to build the zlib library along with Compress::Zlib, first
# fetch a copy of the zlib source distribution. The address ig given
# in the README file. Unpack the zlib source distribution into the
# Compress::Zlib source directory. If you have fetched zlib 1.1.3, it will
# create a directory called zlib-1.1.3.
# Set the BUILD_ZLIB variable below to True. BUILD_ZLIB = False
#BUILD_ZLIB = True# 2. Where are the files zlib.h and zconf.h?
#
# Change the path below to point to the directory where zlib.h
# and zconf.h are installed on your system.
# If you have set BUILD_ZLIB above to True, the path should point to the
# zlib source directory. A relative path is sufficient.INCLUDE = /usr/local/include
#INCLUDE = ./zlib-1.1.3# 3. Where is libz?
#
# Change the path below to point to the directory where libz is
# installed on your system.
# If you have set BUILD_ZLIB above to True, the path should point to the
# zlib source directory. A relative path is sufficient.LIB = /usr/local/lib
#LIB = ./zlib-1.1.3# end of file config.in


Why would I want to build Zlib? Do I have to?

and where is libz, zlih.h, zconf.h?



If I can telnet to my server I wouldn't have this problemMad



Thanks guys

No, no version of FileMan can unzip .zip files.

Cheers,
