Installing Zend Optimizer

The Zend Optimizer enables you to run Zend Guard encoded files.

1. Download a copy of Zend Optimizer / Guard from the location below and put it into /tmp

http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/downloads

2. Extract

cd /tmp
tar zxvf ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz

Replace with your actual filename

3. Create a directory to contain Zend optimizer

mkdir /usr/local/lib/Zend

3. Move the Zend optimizer lib to a permanent location

mv ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-linux-glibc23-i386/data/5_2_x_comp/ZendOptimizer.so /usr/local/lib/Zend/

Your ZendOptimizer directory name may be different since it includes version numbers and platform. I'm using the 5_2_x_comp directory because I have PHP 5.2 installed.

4. Add reference to your php.ini file (pico /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini)

zend_extension = /usr/local/lib/Zend/ZendOptimizer.so
zend_optimizer.optimization_level = 15

5. Restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  1. works fine, thanks a lot!

  2. Thanks for this tutorial, but it doesn’t work on my Debian server (64bit). I followed the 5 steps as described, but I get an “exit signal Segmentation fault (11)” in the apache log after restart.

    No other modules are installed. APC is running though.

    Any idea?

  3. After disabling APC, Zend Optimizer and the webserver were running just fine.

  4. Thanks Junni. Looks like you cannot have both APC and Zend Optimizer running at the same time.

  5. THANK YOU!
