Missing zip functionality error with alt zip

I got this with the normal Joomla zip:

Your PHP version is missing zip functionality. Please ask your system administrator / hosting provider to recompile PHP with zip support.

If this is a new install, you will need to uninstall CiviCRM from the Joomla Extension Manager.

So the install guide says to use the alt zip. I tried that, same error.

In /home/x/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/component/
Code: [Select]
[root@server component]# ls
civicrm-2.2.2-joomla-alt.zip
Code: [Select]
[root@server component]# unzip civicrm-2.2.2-joomla-alt.zip
...
[root@server component]# ls
civicrm-2.2.2-joomla-alt.zip  com_civicrm

"Install from Directory" as /home/x/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/component/com_civicrm/ in Joomla...

[EDIT] After about 5 tries, I now get this on Install from Dir: Cannot execute DROP TABLE IF EXISTS civicrm_event: DB Error: constraint violation

Looks like you already have few of CiviCRM related tables in joomla DB, hence you got this error. May be drop all civicrm_* tables from your joomla db and retry installation. Not sure why you got zip error.

I have found that the alt script throws up the same error when the civicrm.zip file is sitting in <Joomla! directory>/administrator/components/com_civicrm (I think that's the directory).

Did you run the normal install and then the alt install? If you did, and didn't remove the zip file, then you'll get the same error.
