yum install php-zend-optimizer

When I try to install zend optimizer I get:

Code: Select all

CentOS release 5.6

Any idea of how to resolve this?

Unfortunately Zend dropped support for 5.3, they have a new project now called zend guard. I believe it requires a key to use

[lvalics]

Then is better to not upgrade php to 5.3 yet

[hostingguy]

we updated and so far no one has noticed or cared that zend optimizer is no longer there.

[faris]

Yeah, I think I posted about this elsewhere but I can't find the post on here.

If you have any apps that required Zend Optimizer under <5.3 solely in order to run encrypted php apps, there's a free download for 5.3 that will restore this functionality. I thought it was called ZendGuard, but if that does need a paid-for key then I'm not sure of my facts anymore.

But I doubt Zend would expect anyone just wanting to run encrypted code to have to buy a key - lots of commercial scripts (used to) use Zend encryption.

[hostingguy]

Maybe SourceGuardian? Or is that something else?

[pmeth]

I briefly looked into it and it does seem that the product is called Zend Guard and there is a download that lets you run encrypted code for free. The only thing is it looked like they want you to install zend server to get it. I assume that is basically just php bundled with some other stuff, but I don't know enough about it to risk installing. When atomicorp puts it in their repo and gives the all clear, i'll probably do it.

[scott]

Wait really? all of zend server is required, thats insane!

[pmeth]

Sorry. I was wrong. There is a separate "runtime loader" for php 5.3. They don't make it very obvious on their website. I guess they really want to push their server.

Anyhow, the product is called Zend Guard Loader (Runtime for php 5.3)
You can get the Linux 64 bit version from here:

[hostingguy]

it looks like they revised their license to allow others to bundle and distribute it as well.

[scott]

Yup! Package (php-zend-guard-loader) was just pushed out to the mirrors. I'll do an announcement on it shortly

[breun]

I believe that apps encoded for Zend Optimizer are not compatible with Zend Guard Loader, people will need to get new versions of their apps that are encoded for Zend Guard Loader. At least, that's what I gathered, I haven't tested this yet.

Gotta make this tough on the new kid -- sheez. Trial by fire!

Which do I need to load?

Code: Select all

yum upgrade -y

Zend Guard Loader for PHP 5.3+, Zend Optimizer for older versions of PHP.

If you're using encoded applications, they'll need to be compatible with the loader you installed. I'm not sure if Zend Guard Loader does anything useful if you're not using encoded applications.

[KrazyBob]

Well, when I try to install optimizer it borks with unresolved deps. I haven't tried Guard yet because mySQL is having a bad day...
