Zend Opt 3.0.0 breaks Apache with PHP 4.4.2

[tweakservers]

I just have a box setup today and notice that the new Cpanel installation have Zend Opt 3.0.0 selected which causes the Apache to not able to start up. No error is thrown in the apache error_log.

After changing the my $ver to 2.6.2 in /scripts/installzendopt and reinstall the Zend Opt, things are getting back to normal now:

#my $ver = '3.0.0';
my $ver = '2.6.2';

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',
'FreeBSD 5.x' => 'http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/' . $ver . '/ZendOptimizer-' . $ver . '-freebsd5.4-i386.tar.gz',
'FreeBSD 4.x' => 'http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/2.6.0/ZendOptimizer-2.6.0-freebsd4.3-i386.tar.gz'
);

zend 3.0 works file for me with apache 1.3.34 and php 4.4.2

I've had mixed experiences and noted it on my blog some time ago. It may depend on the selection of PHP modules, but v3 definitely causes problems for some, which suggests some serious bugs in the zend code.

Once we modify installzendopt can we just re-run it to "downgrade"? i.e. will it update the php.ini correctly and not mess up the way that the php.ini was linked into the Zend dir or should we back out those changes first?

TIA

This doesn't surprise me. This isn't the first time that Zend has screwed up. Remember the Zend Optimizer "Leaking File Descriptor" bug? Yeah, thats right, crashed a server good after a period of time.

IIRC, you can simply adjust the installzendopt script and then rerun it.

Yup, just reran it and it nightly downgraded zend.
