Anyone know how to, or can point me to a guide? the user guide aint much help just says run ./install.sh i try that and it says no such directory installed.

Hello,
Could you please tell us about your server info

1) Server OS ( redhat,debian, gentoo, and ...)
2) If you have any control panel installed ( cpanel, ensim, webmin, and ...)

- download Zend Optimizer from ZEND website
- unzip
- ./install.sh and follow its instruction. You can change installing folders, but you should use it by default.

Redhat 9.0
control panel direct admin
php 4

Ive installed it, but for some reason when trying to install whoiscart (which needs Zendoptimizer installed) it says,

Fatal error: Unable to read 18138 bytes in /xxx/xxx/xxx/***********/xx_html/billing/INSTALL.php on line 0

and i looked in the php info and in the zend optimizer section its got:

Optimization Pass 1 enabled
Optimization Pass 2 enabled
Optimization Pass 3 enabled
Optimization Pass 4 enabled
Optimization Pass 9 disabled (could this be the problem?)
Zend Loader enabled
License Path no value

On Whois.Cart website, has a checking file. You can use that one for checking if your server is ready for Whois.Cart

well ive ran that test and it says its all ok.

PHP version up to date ok!
URL fopen allowed ok!
CURL Installed Curl is installed! Do make sure that it is compiled with SSL support however.
Zend Optimizer Installed ok!

Maybe ive done something wrong when uploading the files to my website or somthing to get that error message im my previous post.

I will try uploading the files again and see wot happens.

nope i get the same error message :-( maybe it could be the type of zend optimiser im using i dont know. does anyone know how to uninstall it so I could try an older version?

then again why would whoiscart test say everything is ok when its not? hmmm i will ask on there forums but if anyone can help me on here then feel free.

are you uploading the files in binary mode?

that is a good question i have just noticed this in the readme. im using ACEftp, im pritty sure it supports binary but i suppose i better check if not install ws-ftp.

ill keep you updated.

zend encoded files need to be uploaded in binary format, not ascii like most php files.

making sure I uploaded the zend files in Binary - fixed a similar problem for me. took me about 3 days to catch on though :D

yey i used IE to upload it all instead of my ftp software and it works a treat :D thanx for all the help peeps :D

oh really? I thought IE will upload files in ascii format only

thats not the case :P i think i read some where that IE automaticly adjust it self depending on file types or summit. It worked anycase :P

IE Does adjust automatically - the problem is that Zend Encoded files are in the end, text characters but with binary encoded terminators. Most FTP clients seem to interpret this as ascii.
