Zend Optimizer Not Installed - But it is!!!

[jh_dempsey]

Hey All

Ive tried to install the snippetmaster on our canoe club website:
www.leedscanoeclub.com/snippetmaster

but it tells me that
"In order to run it, please install the freely available Zend Optimizer, version 2.1.0 or later."

Taking a look at my phpinfo() shows me the following:
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
www.leedscanoeclub.com/phpinfo.php

So, as far as im aware, my provider is using version 2.2
Anyone know whats going on??

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, the "Zend Engine" is different then the "Zend Optimizer".

If you want ot use the Zend version of Snippetmaster, then you need to ask your web hosting provider to install the Zend Optimizer software.  It should take them about 10 minutes to install, and is compatible with all versions of PHP.  In fact, the Zend Optimizer is made by the same people who make PHP -- the Zend company. 

Alternatively, you could try installation of the Ioncube version...

Let me know how things go.

Hi!

I'm having this problem too. I am the web hosting provider, and I have installed Zend Optimiser! PHP seems to be installed correctly (I tested this with a simple "Hello World" php script.

I can't see why it's telling me Zend is uninstalled however. Do you think maybe I should reinstall it or try the Ioncube version?

Thanks

Can you send me a link to your phpinfo.php output?  I can tell quickly if Zend Optimizer is installed, as it should say so in the "credits" box.  ie: It should look something like this:

http://kate.host-vault.com/phpinfo.php

(Note the credits where it says this:

with Zend Optimizer v3.3.0,

If you don't have that line (with Zend Optimizer v x.x) then it is not installed.  (Zend Optimizer is different then Zend Extension Manager and Zend Engine, etc....)

Let me know.

Where is phpinfo.php? I assumed that PHP was correctly installed because PHP code compiles and runs ok.

I've run the installation for zend twice now also, and the installation seems to complete successfully....

Turns out the locations of my php.ini file was wrong in my Zend installation.

The installation was still a little rusty but it seems to have worked!

Thanks very much for your help
