Zend Optimizer has been updated and renamed to Zend Guard since PHP 5.3.

However, you might still have some older projects running PHP 5.2, where Zend Optimizer is still needed.

Here’s a small how to install for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with PHP 5.2.

First of all, download Zend Optimizer 3.3.3 through this link: Zend

Unpack it on your server with this command:

tar -xvf ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-linux-glibc23-x86_64.tar.gz

1	tar -xvf ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-linux-glibc23-x86_64.tar.gz

Navigate into the data directory, and correct php version, eg:

cd ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-linux-glibc23-x86_64/data/5_2_x_comp

1	cd ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-linux-glibc23-x86_64/data/5_2_x_comp

copy the so file to the php path:

cp ZendOptimizer.so /usr/lib/php5/20060613/

1	cp ZendOptimizer.so /usr/lib/php5/20060613/

Enable zend optimizer throught /etc/php5/conf.d by typing:

echo zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613/ZendOptimizer.so > /etc/php5/conf.d/zend_optimizer.ini

1	echo zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613/ZendOptimizer.so > /etc/php5/conf.d/zend_optimizer.ini

Enable Zend optimizer by reloading apache

service apache2 reload

1	service apache2 reload

Check if Zend Optimizer is enabled by:

php -v

This post shows you how to install PHP 5.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

To install PHP 5.4, I asked my good friend Google who is maintaining a PHP PPA (Personal Package Archive) for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Ondřej Surý is one of the people who does this. Since Ondrey is pretty active on developing this stuff, this is one of the repo’s to follow 🙂 (he also accepts donations for his hard work)

Now, via SSH, you can simply install PHP 5.4 by isuing the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

If you get an error the add-apt-repository is not available on your system:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

1	sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Et voila… your server is now running PHP 5.4, which is said to be 25% faster than PHP 5.3.
