Okay Problem solved
Turns out ZIP wasnt installed with php
Granted I did upgrade from the default install to 5.6 so that may have been where the issue happened?
But if anyone else has the same issue here is how to test if its zip
login to your console and run php --ini
if zip isnt showing on that list, then its not installed
install it using, in my case apt-get install php5.6-zip
then running phpenmod zip and rebooting
Found this out by putting a debug line on each section of the zppy code and finding it was failing on the
if (!class_exists('ZipArchive')) Then Fail
Leading me to see if Zip was installed
