Zend Optimizer not installed

[Dukerev]

I've spent the last few hours trying to install ModernBill. Maybe someone here knows the answer to my problem.

Well this is how I started my install. i read the instructions at: http://manual.modernbill.com/adminhe...stallation.htm and I thought to myself it was pretty easy.

1. Created a new SQL data base
2. uploaded the tarball using the binary transfer mode
3. unpacked it using the file manager utility in cpanel
4. edited 'config.locale.php' as instructed by site above
5. deleted .htaccess in the install directory and dir 'order'

After doing that, I go and try to execute install script at: [install dir]/install_v4/, I get the following page:

Zend Optimizer not installed
This file was encoded by the Zend Encoder / Zend SafeGuard Suite

In order to run it, please install the freely available Zend Optimizer, version 2.1.0 or later.

What is the Zend Optimizer?
The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been freely available since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by taking PHP's intermediate code through multiple Optimization Passes, which replace inefficient code patterns with efficient code blocks. The replacement code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to performance-improvement, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Encoder or Zend SafeGuard Suite.

The Zend Optimizer is a freely-available product from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies is the company that develops the scripting engine of PHP, also known as the Zend Engine.

Hoping someone has encountered this problem before and can suggest to me a solution

Another note: I started a support ticket and the people at HostNine told me:

Please note, we only provide the license, no support or installation. Your license comes with free support from Modernbill. Also, please ignore any Zend v2 errors you may see when installing as we use Zend v3 on our servers.

The error I got earlier cannot be ignored, it just doesn't continue with the installation. I'm going to try Ver.5 of Modern Bill tomorrow and see if this work.

If you are going to start believing everything you read on the Hostnine you are in for a very rough stay

Good luck and do not drop the soap here

I've been doing lots of Googlin' tonight. And I feel it might work if I install ModernBill via SSH. Anyone agree?

[Dukerev]

It's now 4:07AM, and I've spent 12 hours straight trying to install ModernBill.

I would like to remind everyone of a passage on HostNine's website

I don't think deleting .htaccess does anything good, although that's the offical fix from the people at ModernBilll. If you delete .htaccess don't you lose your required variables for php?

Without deleting .htaccess I get an "Internal Server Error." Can someone point me in the right direction...

Well here is the problem I have:

At my install page, the following are flagged red:
http://planetwebhosting.com/billing/install_v4

error_reporting 6135
register_globals OFF
session.use_only_cookies OFF

I tried to change the values of my php.ini file in root of my install dir, but the changes there do not reflect back at the install page.

Also want to note, I did delete the .htaccess that came with the ModernBill install.

Thanks beholder,

It kinda helps. I now know that it's reading the php.ini file in:
/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

Instead of the one put I put in my root folder public_html


That last link you had was from a post in June 2007 and I saw that. I did ask the support team at HostNine and they told me they don't use .htaccess anymore and instead told me to use php.ini

My orginal problem of "Zend Optimizer not installed" has now been resloved.

It appears that someone at HostNine forgot to install Zend Optimizer

The support people at HostNine were able to have Zend Optimizer installed within minutes.
