How do I disable the one-click updater?
How Do I?
Amazon Linux 2 does not support the zip module for PHP. When installing EE5.2 for the first time, after specifying my database connection info, I can’t get into the control panel because of the missing ZipArchive class. I’ve tried disabling this requirement in the system/ee/installer/updater/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Updater/Service/Updater/RequirementsChecker.php file, but all that does is cause me to hang on the ‘Installation Successful’ screen.
If I have no intention of using the one-click updater, then I think I should be able to disable the feature so that I can use the CMS normally.
Sorry for your trouble, the one-click updater cannot be disabled and is not the only part of ExpressionEngine that uses the ZipArchive class. You can just install the zip extension for PHP on Amazon Linux 2, it has been made available.
Thanks for the reply Kevin, you are correct. It just took me a little bit to figure out exactly how to accomplish that.
On the off-chance anyone else runs into the confusion that I did:
# INSTALL PHP7.2
amazon-linux-extras install -y php7.2
# INSTALL ZIP
yum install -y php-pecl-zipIf Apache was already running, then restart it.
Thanks for adding the specific solution @dgtlmkt!
