Hi all,

I installed PHP4 & 5 as per the thread: http://directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13953 and it works fine.

Now I want to install Zend Optimizer and according to:
http://www.webhostgear.com/184.html

I have to give it a path the the php.ini

My question is, do I just run the install script twice and give it the path to both php.ini files?

Cheers,
Ry

Good question, I only run one version of php myself so I can not say for sure. But the automated script for Zend always moves the php.ini under itself so I don't think using it is an option.

I would bet someone has done it though. Have you hit google yet?

as far as i know Zend copies the php.ini file and adds some extension lines to it.

what i should do is find out what those lines are and add these to both your php.ini files.

but not sure if this works... maybe the Zend site gives you a solution?

Cheers all - will give the PHP file editing later as well to see how that goes.

Well, did it and it worked!

If anyone is interested how I did it I will slap a 'How To' up later.

In that case, all I did was follow the thread: http://www.webhostgear.com/184.html and when it asked for the path of the php.ini file I gave it: /usr/local/etc/php4/cgi/ and then used the defaults.

I ran the install again giving it the path to the php5 ini file (/usr/local/etc/php5/cgi/) and told it to install in the zend_php5 directory (instead of the default Zend option it gives you)

Hey presto all worked fine.

So, just run it twice giving it the location and away you go.

Hope that helps - my next fun and games is updating both of the PHP versions now :)
