Godaddy and installing issues issues issues

I've read the godaddy FAQ,

5. Sign in and go to http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/optimizer/ and download the version of Zend Optimizer for your platform. NOTE: If you're using Linux, use the 32-bit files.

6. Uncompress the Zend package, and go into the /data folder. Find the folder that has your PHP version (ie: 5_2_x_comp). Upload the content of the folder (not the folder itself) to your newly created "zend" folder on your host.


I'm on a windows based shared hosting account, the download option for windows on zend's website is a .exe file that installs the software as if I were installing it on a server. There is no package to uncompress. I went ahead and installed the exe file on the computer I was working on and found a folder with my PHP version that included a .dll file and uploaded it to my web host..


8. Make a copy of the Xphp.ini and rename it to php5.ini, the add the code below to the end. Replace <PATH> with the path that you saved in step 3. Once done, upload the file to your web root. NOTE: If there is already a Zend section in the file, remove it and the entries below it first so you don't have two Zend sections.

[Zend]
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension=<PATH>/zend/ZendOptimizer.so
zend_extension_ts=<PATH>/zend/TS/ZendOptimizer.so

This calls for ZendOptimiser.so , which I did not receive from zend's website.

I have also tried to install the calendar with the ioncube loader system and cannot seem to get that working either.


Is there any work around?

As far as I know, Zend is only compatible (or rather working) when used with a Linux based hosting account when on GoDaddy.

You could try to add the ionCube loader in your php.ini to see if that one would register.

Run the Tester script for the calendar and find out which version of the ionCube load it is you need for your platform. Then upload the ionCube folder from the calendar directly in your html folder, and add the following at the bottom of your php.ini, adjusting the paths of course and making sure to match the version you found in the previous step.
[Zend]
zend_extension = D:\Hosting\whatever number\html\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll

If you really want to take on installing Zend instead, this thread from the Zend forums (http://www.zend.com/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=3438&start=0) might help.
