zend optimiser

Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying the vbseo mod. I think there are many benefits to it

But a few quick questions:

My site gets quite a few hacking attempts (usually 2 serious attempts per week) , so I'm running PHP safe_mode as well as I've disabled a few PHP functions.

From this I can see I can't use ioncube so I'll have to use the zend optimizer.

What settings do I need to enable in my php.ini?
As i note that Zend Optimizer will *not* run if the following PHP settings are enabled:

• Thread Safety
• Enable Versioning

I don't suppose zend optimiser can be installed via apt-get either?

Cheers

Hello,

What settings do I need to enable in my php.ini?
As i note that Zend Optimizer will *not* run if the following PHP settings are enabled:

* Thread Safety
* Enable Versioning

Also, php should be compiled as non-debug version (which is default).

More details on zend optimizer requirements:

apt-get won't work as far as I know, you should download Zend Optimizer package from zend.com to install it.

I guess it's going to be a case of installing it on a test server then locking it down as well as reading the safe_mode documentation and seeing what I have to enable / disable in php.ini.
