I'd like to test modernbill in my Raq 550. This program needs Zend Optimizer installed.

I download the tar but I'm not to sure how to proceed. Can anyone help this newbie with a step by step outline on how to do this withouth screwing things up.

Thanks!

OK so I could not resist and just gave it a try. After searching and finding howto's I decided to first install it on another non cobalt server which is not used by my clients and then on the RAQ. It works like a charm.

Here's what I did:


Download Zend Optimizer: http://www.zend.com/store/free_download.php?pid=13

FTP the package to your server.

Backup your php.ini file

tar xvfz ZendOptimizer-2\[1\].1.0-Linux_glibc21-i386.tar.gz

cd ZendOptimizer-2.1.0-Linux_glibc21-i386

./install

The installer needs this information:

Specify the location where to install Zend Optimizer: /usr/local/Zend

Confirm the location of your php.ini file: /etc
Are you using the Apache webserver? Yes
Specify the Apache configuration directory: /etc/httpd/conf

The installer detects your php version. Choose "Yes" to proceed.
Specify the Apache bin directory: /usr/sbin

Your php.ini will be relocated to /usr/local/Zend/etc and a symlink is created.

Don't forget to restart apache: ./etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Check your phpinfo to make sure all went well.

hm doesnt work on mine, says it cant find the apache binary in the dir mentioned above. I'm a complete raq n00b so can anyone point me in the right direction?
