Installing Zend Opitimizer and eAccelerator on DirectAdmin

Today I spent some time messing with my VPS and installed Zend Opitimizer and eAccelerator under DirectAdmin. Here’s the tutorial I wrote.

First, install Zend

cd /usr/local/src

mkdir zend

cd zend

wget http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/3.3.3/ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz

tar -xzvf  ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz

cd ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-i386

./install.sh

Just keep hitting Enter~ no need to choose anything. Under /usr/local/lib, php.ini gets rewritten and saved, and a php.ini-zend_optimizer.bak file is saved as well

Next, install eAccelerator

yum install autoconf

yum install automake

cd /usr/local/src

mkdir eAccelerator

cd eAccelerator

wget http://bart.eaccelerator.net/source/0.9.6/eaccelerator-0.9.6.tar.bz2

tar -xvjf eaccelerator-0.9.6.tar.bz2

cd eaccelerator-0.9.6

export PHP_PREFIX="/data/webserver/php"

$PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize

./configure --enable-eaccelerator=shared --with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config

make & make install

cd /tmp

mkdir eaccelerator

chmod 0777 eaccelerator

Edit php.ini

1	cd /usr/local/lib vi php.ini

Add this above [Zend]

[eaccelerator]
zend_extension=”/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/eaccelerator.so”
eaccelerator.shm_size=”32″
eaccelerator.cache_dir=”/tmp/eaccelerator”
eaccelerator.enable=”1″
eaccelerator.optimizer=”1″
eaccelerator.check_mtime=”1″
eaccelerator.debug=”0″
eaccelerator.filter=”"
eaccelerator.shm_max=”0″
eaccelerator.shm_ttl=”0″
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period=”0″
eaccelerator.shm_only=”0″
eaccelerator.compress=”1″
eaccelerator.compress_level=”9″

Restart Apache

1	service httpd restart

Finally

php -v

Check the final result
