How do I activate/install Zend Optimizer?

[ctlee15]

I would like to install Zend Optimizer Version 3.3. I located the following instructions in the cPanel Documentation:

How do I activate/install Zend Optimizer?

You can install and activate Zend Optimizer by running /scripts/installzendopt from the command line as root.


Being new to cPanel, I do not know how to run the scrip from the command line as root. Could someone point me to documentation on this.

Best,

Chris

Hello Chris,

Do you have root access to WHM and to SSH? If so, you can use a client on Windows such as putty (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe) to connect to your server as root user with the root password. Once logged into shell, you can then run the following command:

/scripts/phpextensionmgr install ZendOpt

I would suggest using this command rather than the other one you'd mentioned.

Alternatively, you could use WHM as root user (logging into WHM as root), then go to WHM > EasyApache (Apache Update) and check Zend Optimizer in 5. Short Options List of that area, then recompile Apache to add it.

If you have any questions on the above, please let us know.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you fr the reply. I followed your suggestions, including the command you suggested. It seems to have worked perfectly. This is part of what was returned during the Putty session.

Installing Zendopt
Determining PHP version
Creating install directory at /usr/local/Zend/lib/Guard-5.5.0/php-5.3.x
Installing Zend Guard Loader binary
Activating Zend Guard Loader in /usr/local/lib/php.ini
Zend Guard activated.
