Trouble uploading Power Point into Lesson

Hi,

I am brand new to Moodle and I'm just trying to find my way around.  When I attempt to upload a power point presentation into a lesson I get the following error message:

Abort pclzip.lib.php : Missing zlib extensions
Any help would be great! Thanks
Tasi

Hi Tasi,
Welcome! I always recommend looking at MoodleDocs, here is the Import PowerPoint page. Always try a small, very simple PPT on your first attempt. However, I don't recognize the error message and I have created just about every error in the book regarding importppt.

My wild guess is the PowerPoint file was not zipped. I went into the ../lib/pclzip/pclzip.lib.php file. Right around line 190 under 'test the zlib', I found this in the code "zlib extension seems to be missing" following by an abort command. I am not a Php or Moodle code expert, so I hope my wild guess is correct.

If not, we will need an expert to step in and give us some help. Could be the Moodle site itself and nothing to do with importppt.

Hope this helps .

Thanks for the help but I followed the instructions in the moodle doc and I'm still getting the same error.  I'm wondering if my version of moodle is up to date; Do you know how I can check to see what my version of moodle is?
