If you have installed Bitrix Intranet Portal on Bitrix Web Environment with PHP version below 5.2.6, you may encounter an error due to the fact that php_zip.dll is missing. If so, the following alert will appear:

Note! The function "zip_open" was not found ("zip" extension is not enabled)

Effectively it means that the system will not index MS Office 2007 or Open Office files.

Do the following to fix the problem.

  • Download the file php_zip.dll from any safe source.
  • Move it to C:\<path>\Bitrix Environment\apache\extensions, here C:\<path> is the path to Bitrix Web Environment installation folder.
  • Open the file C:\<path>\Bitrix Environment\apache\php.ini.nooci for editing.
    In this file, add the line: extension=php_zip.dll to the section Dynamic Extensions. Save changes.
  • Restart Bitrix Web Environment.
