How to install Zend Optimizer

First go download Zend Optimizer then uncompress the files and go into the directory.

sudo ./install

Its that simple huh? it will run over a few things and detect few settings and ask you. You just basicly just have to select what apache version your using if i remember right.

To make sure that Zend Optimizer is working you can do the following:

php -v

or by

    To see if its loaded successfully:
  • Create a file called phpinfo.php
  • Inside it, have
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
  • Upload it to the server
  • Using your web browser, browse http://yoursite/phpinfo.php

It should have:
"Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
with Zend Optimizer v3.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007, by Zend Technologies"

Notes:
If you have Zend Optimizer / eAccelerator installed, then its best to put the extension string in PHP config file in this order.

eAccelerator > Ioncube Loader > Zend Optimizer
