Help....not computer literate: sh: /usr/local/bin/unzip: No such file or directory

[psh2580]

I have a website built on an opencart platform using obviously the Direct Admin server.

I am trying to upload extensions for my site as described on various google searches i.e:

file manager > public_html > upload files to current directory ( /domains/justbinbags.co.uk/public_html ) - With this eg it is a Sociallinks file for twitter and facebook followers.

I then upload my compressed file of the extension download. When I attempt to extract this file it always reads:

Contents of /domains/justbinbags.co.uk/public_html/Sociallinks/sociallinks.zip:
sh: /usr/local/bin/unzip: No such file or directory

I will apologise up front. I am not computer literate when it comes to code etc. I would require step by step guide as above to rectify this issue.

Any help would be gratefully received and I'd owe you a pint!

You should install unzip to get lost of that error notice.

If you have root access you can do something like this:
On Centos: yum install unzip
On Debian: apt-get install unzip

If you don't have this access, you could ask your hosting provider because this is not a Directadmin issue.

god im stupid

Thanks for your reply Richard.

We must have access to the root as the opencart support team accessed my server and installed an seo pack last week

Unfortunately due to my computer stupidity I do not want to cause any issues on the server. Do you have any idea what folder on direct admin the root is in?

root isn't in a folder. The root[/user] is the user who can do everything on the server. The root user's directory is called /root, but he can work in any directory.

If you can log in as root through the shell you can run the proper command from any directory.

If you have no experience with working at the root shell level I'd recommend hiring someone to administer yuour server (is it your server?), as it's too easy to make one minor typographical error and destroy your system.

If you have your own server and no hosting company, and no administration experienced system administrator, then you need one. If it's not your server then you need to contact your hosting company.
