What do I need to unzip in linux

Hey Guys & Gals

I am starting to mess around with Joomla, and most of the packages are .gz files... but some of them are .zip files... the .tgz files unpack just fine when I upload them, but the .zip files do not unpack... is there some software I am missing on my server that will allow for unzipping packages???

Currently I am just unzipping the items locally and uploading... but it would be nice to take advantage of Joomla's ability to extract the files also..

I am running CentOS 3.3 with PHP 5.0.4... I am using the ART addresses in my yum.conf...

Thanks for the help
Joe

Make sure the box has the unzip rpm installed (yum install unzip)

Hey Scott,

Thanks... yum says that it is installed and the latest version. For some reason though it won't unzip files.. i bet that it is a is chmod problem!!! what do you think?

Well if its a bad file, then unzip wouldnt be able to extract it, otherwise permissions, etc dont really matter.

I actually solved the problem... it was an issue with Joomla.... I need to let Joomla manage the CHMOD settings

THanks Scott!
