Thanks for the system report.

Can you try uploading a different ZIP file?
If the current ZIP is over 2MB it will be hitting the limit of PHP Upload Max Filesize and PHP Post Max Size.

Perhaps something small like Classic Editor: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/classic-editor.1.6.4.zip

i have tried it and still not work. my zip file is 123 kb and have the same problem with different zip files aswell.

here someone solved the problem and said;

"Problem resolved. It was caused by disabled tmpfile() PHP function. "

but i didnt understand it and cant manage to solve it

We have a help article for enabling tmpfile() on Cloudways, and it should be somewhat similar for other hosts: Enable tmpfile() PHP function on Cloudways - MainWP Knowledgebase

However, when tmpfile() is disabled, it is stated so in the system report under PHP Disabled Functions which does not appear to be the case here.

Would you mind opening a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further?

And please refer to this Managers thread by its URL in the ticket.
