Can anyone provide me with some instructions on installing Zend Optimizer on a RaQ4 with PHP-4.0.6.

I've been searching all day and trying different things, and still haven't been succesful. Any help would be appreciated.

installed zend optimiser on a raq is the same as on a normal linux server

Thanks, that really doesn't help. As I said, I've looked all over for instructions, I've followed those instructions and still nothing...

This should help you out I did this last week end and it works fine.
It is on a Raq4i and a Raq4r works great.

It is very easy to install, and doesn't require any re-compilation of apache or php. All you need to do is the following:
1. Download the ZendOptimizer.so file.
2. Upload the file to any dir
3. Add the following line into your php.ini [can be found at /etc/httpd/php.ini

zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/path/to/ZendOptimizer.so"

4. Restart apache by typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
5. You're done.

;)

I've done this so many times. :D

My phpinfo is at:

http://cobby3.webxonline.com/test.php

I copied ZendOptimizer.so out of the "ZendOptimizer-1.1.0-PHP_4.0.5-Linux_glibc21-i386" distribution into /usr/lib/php/.

I have the following in /etc/httpd/php.ini:

zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php/ZendOptimizer.so"

Then I restarted apache.

Still nothing. ;)

Any other suggestions?

Hello

Did you put the 2 line at the top of the php.ini or ?
You have to use the right zend .so file for your O/S, this the one I used and it works.
That is all I did and it worked just fine.

ZendOptimizer-1[1].1.0-PHP_4.0.5-Linux_libc5-i386.tar.gz

;)

I think the reason it's not working is because debug is enabled, and the instructions say it should be disabled. But how do I go about reconfiguring PHP so that it's disabled?

You have to recompile PHP with '--disable-debug' to disable debug, check the PHP manual for more info on this or the Zend Encoder Userguide PDF that came with the tarball.. its all in there :)

People enjoy stating the obvious. :D

try putting this statement below the 2 you already have

zend_optimizer.enable_loader=1

Didn't work, thanks though. :bawling:

What does the Zend Optimizer do? Does it speed up PHP applications like vBulletin?

Thanks

Yes, it speeds up applications significantly + You can load all the files encoded using Zend Encoder, www.zend.com for more info :)
