[capricornnl]

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.
