Edit php.ini file and remove the semicolon comment character preceding the extension for OpenSSL dll file in windows or the .so file in linux and restart the webserver.

Each PHP build, not necessarily based on version alone, will have different default php modules/extensions installed or enabled. A check on php -m would reveal all those available to it and a comparision will possibly reveal the lack of gzopen() function.

The PHP 5.5 gzopen() bug is quite well alluded to in stackoverflow.com and other public forums.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217927

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/432291/comments/7

The bug is NOT zlib link problem because it can open gz files with "fopen" for example:
$gzfile = fopen("compress.zlib://hello.txt.gz", "w");
fwrite($gzfile, "hello world!");
fclose($gzfile);
?>
is work well on released binaries. BUT "gzopen" is not defined in php5 binaries it cannot run:
$data = "Hello World!";
$gzfile = gzopen("hello.txt.gz", "w9");
gzwrite($gzfile, $data);
gzclose($gzfile);
?>

configure php with the --with-zlib=yes option and for 64 bit systems check if gzopen64() exists and possibly either do a search and replace in the FA code or create an alias function / wrapper for it:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-function-is-disabled-abort-expected-gzopen-updraft
"because of large file support, gzopen() has been replaced by gzopen64()"

Looks like the gzopen() function is no longer available on new versions..

The recommended fix did not solve the Install/Activate problem for me. I originally was running:

Ubuntu Server 14.0.4 (LTS)
Apache2 (2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1)
Mysql 5.5 (5.5.40-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
PHP5 (5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.5)
Frontaccounting (2.3.22)

I noted the exact same behavior as discussed earlier, though even the go_debug = 2 had errors of its own that didn't appear on the page. The errors involved aren't particularly important, however, because I tried the same Frontaccounting install on Debian 7.7 and had no issues at all:

Debian Server 7.7
Apache2 (2.2.22-13+deb7u3)
Mysql 5.5 (5.5.40-0+wheezy1)
PHP5 (5.4.35-0+deb7u2)
Frontaccounting (2.3.22)

Perhaps this could be a PHP 5.5 issue? I did notice getting errors on the Ubuntu install that gzopen() wasn't a known function, even though phpinfo() showed zlib installed.

The bug in the Activate extensions that has been rectified in v2.3.22 itself.

Further update by overwriting with the changed files.

I had the same problem with the installs and I finally solved it (at least on my system).
I use XAMPP 1.7.7. and I noticed in php.info that OpenSSL Library Version and OpenSSL Header Version are incompatable. This is causing the Apache server to shut down and restart (with "[notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting." in the Apache error log) and, in some cases, also producing a Windows error message, saying something like "Shutting down httpd.exe".
Anyway, the solution is really simple. Rename libeay32.ddl and ssleay32.dll in the \xampp\apache\bin folder. Copy \xampp\php\libeay32.ddl and ssleay32.dll to \xampp\apache\bin.
Restart Apache and the installs are working as they should.
I believe this also applies to a few other XAMPP versions.

Check file/directory write permissions (displayed on system diagnostic page). You can also add all the translations later, when you have FA installed and running.
