've just updated K2 to 2.5 and Joomla to 1.5.25. Prior to this I was working fine with Image Gallery zip file loads. Now everytime I try to load a zip file to the Image Gallery of an Item I get
"UNKNOWNARCHIVETYPE. Gallery upload error. Cannot extract archive."

I'm using Simple Image Gallery Pro.

I can upload and extract the zip file using Control Panel / File Manager. I can load the images using Filezilla. But neither of these methods actually results in an image gallery on the item, because the gallery field in the K2 item table is not updated with the {gallery}item id{/gallery}.

If I load the images using Filezilla and update the gallery field in the K2 item table manually then I get my image gallery but obviously this is not ideal.

Any soluton / ideas or do I have to revert back to 2.4 and / or 1.5.23 (last working versions)

Pm me access to your super admin please.

Thanks for your help Katia. We've been migrated to a new server with PHP 5.3.8 and the problem is resolved.  ;D

Hi

I've got the same problem. What's the solution?

TIA

What version of php?

Hi

php 5.2.17

K2 2.5.1 - Joomla 1.7.3. - plugin 2.5.6.

And I don't think I'll be able to have that changed

Thanks

I didn't think my host provider would upgrade PHP for me as my sites are on shared linux servers but they were very helpful and migrated all my sites to another server with PHP 5.3.8 and it solved the problem. The migration was seamless and caused no problems. Ask your host provider and see what they say. My host provider is webhosting.uk.com
