calendar was fine - now Zend error!

rotarjen · 02-22-2007, 11:47 PM

My calendar has been installed & working fine for over a week - now suddenly getting this Zend Optimizer message in place of my home 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.

If this has just started, something must've changed on your server. You should contact your hosting service to see if changes were made.

You could also try the tester script to see if ionCube would be compatible with your server's configuration.

FWIW, Zend is installed at the server level and didn't come with the calendar. Your web host provide would have been responsible for it running properly and it would appear they have disabled it. So, as ve9gra said, you should contact your web host provider and tell them your Zend scripts are no longer functioning.

Here is the reply from my host - FRII (they suck!)

We were forced to upgrade from PHP 5.1.5 to 5.2.1 today due to new security exploits and, unfortunately, Zend Optimizer does not work with the new version. We do not know when or if there will be a fix for this issue so at this time the only solution we can suggest is to modify your code to not use the Zend Optimizer. If a fix becomes available we will notify you immediately.

Do you know if here is a new version of zend that is compatible with php 5.2.1?

Thanks! Jen

According to Zend's web site, there is a new version of the Optimizer that works with PHP 5.2.

I've also responded to your license request.

Thank you - I'm setting up the IonCube version now, but I will also send the new Zend info to my host. I'm planning to change hosts soon - this one has been very problematic.

I have purchased five different licenses for the calendar for five different sites - love the product and easy setup & customization. Thanks!

Please help again...

I was about halfway through the Calendar setup and got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /u/vp/berthoudcolorado.com/www/calendar/config.inc.php on line 156

**Brian** · 02-23-2007, 11:52 AM

That's a new one to me... Is this a new config.inc.php file?

rotarjen · 02-23-2007, 12:54 PM

Yes - I downloaded the ioncube version based on Gervais' recommendation, installed it to my server and everything seemed fine.
I started in on the setup and got to the users - when I clicked Save Changes, this error came up.

There shouldn't be a line 156 in that file. It should end at 155.

You may want to upload that file again and try doing it in ASCII mode and see if that helps.

This seems to be working now. Thanks for the help
