To install Zend onto a Linux server, its not as complex as it may seem and

its actually pretty easy. To do so, you will first need to SSH onto the linux

server. Once you do this, simply type the following to access the root

directory;

cd /root

Now that you are in the root directly, if you type the following, it will

pull the Zend files over to the servers. This is an install hosted on this blog;

wget
http://keithdmitchell.com/downloads/zend/ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz

Now that you have this, you are ready to install Zend.

Since the file is in the root directly, you will need to type the following

to start;

tar xvfx ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz

Once that is done, you will need to goto the directly that the files are now

located, so type;

cd  ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-i386

Once you have changed directory, Make sure the install.sh file has been

created. To do this type this command:

ls -la

If you see the files, you are now ready to follow-up on the install. To start

the install process, type  the following;

./install.sh

This will start the install process and prompt you using a setup wizard. Make

you sure read and accept the license agreement (otherwise you will not be able

to install zend).

By default, zend will install to /usr/local/zend or

/usr/local/zend/etc. When it asks you if you are using a webserver,

enter yes, as you are using apache web server.

It will ask for your location of the php.ini file on your server. Depending
on

your OS and if you are running a control panel, it will end up being a different

location.

.

If you aren’t sure, then quit the install and type;

locate php.ini

This will attempt to locate the php.ini file for you. Zend will

attempt to locate it on the install process, but if it can’t, then you will need

to find the file.

Next it will ask if you are using Apache web server. Answer yes

as you are.

It will then ask for the apache control utility directory, Zend will locate
this for you.

Zend will then install, verify the install and then ask to restart the
webserver,

which you will need it to do.

Once this is done, the Zend optimizer is installed.

Congrats! You have now installed  Zend Optimizer v3.3.3.  If

you have a php test page, this will also now show;
