How to install Zend Optimizer
What is Zend Optimizer?
The Zend Optimizer is a free application that runs the files encoded by the Zend Guard, while enhancing the performance of PHP applications.
How to install
cPanel offers an easy install process. You simply have to run:
/scripts/installzendopt
as root and fallow the install instructions. It’s as simple as clicking Next a few times.
After the install you can check to see if things are ok by running:
php -v
This should print something like:
with Zend Optimizer v3.2.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend Technologies
If for some reason cPanel installs an old version (it happend to me a few times) you have to edit /scripts/installzendopt (simply run “pico /scripts/installzendopt”) and edit “my %urls =” with the latest urls.
my %urls = (
‘Linux’ => ‘http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/’ . $ver . ‘/ZendOptimizer-’ . $ver . ‘-linux-glibc21-i386.tar.gz,
‘Linux64′ => ‘http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/’ . $ver . ‘/ZendOptimizer-’ . $ver . ‘-linux-glibc23-x86_64.tar.gz,
‘FreeBSD 6.x’ => ‘http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/’ . $ver . ‘/ZendOptimizer-’ . $ver . ‘-freebsd6.0-i386.tar.gz,
