Hi,
 
I've exhausted my search capacity on Google and my hosting provider won't
help me as their version of Zend Optimizer isn't configured for PHP5. 
I've been struggling with google searches and tech support over the last 24
hours, so I'm really praying that someone on this list can help me.
 
I'm installing CubeCart 4 on my client's hosting account. CubeCart 4
requires PHP5x.
 
I've downloaded the file ZendOptimizer-3.3.3-linux-glibc23-x86_64.tar.gz
from Zend's website. (my client's hosting package is unix based on Go Daddy)
 
I've unzipped it to a folder and here's where my confusion begins.
 
I don't know how to install it on a hosted server? The Zend user manual has
instructed me to install from a terminal window (see below). As an old Mac
user, I have never learned to be comfortable with DOS, and have no idea how
get to my hosted server and files from a terminal window. Should I upload
the folders to my server before I perform the install, or do will the
install command do it remotely from the run window? 
 
Is there any easier way to install them (says the Mac user)? 
 
 
Instructions from Zend User Manual... (I'm sure this is a piece of cake for
you!!)

    1.  Open a terminal window and change dir to the directory in which the
Zend Optimizer package was saved. 
         To untar the package use the command: gunzip -c <package name> |
tar xf - 

    2.  From the extracted package's directory, type the following command:
./install. The installer is launched 

    3.  Follow the instructions in the installer. These instructions define
the basic system configurations necessary for installing the Zend Optimizer,

          such as the Web Server in use and the location of the php.ini. 

    4.  If for some reason, the graphical installation will not start or is
illegible, use the command: ./install-tty which is useful on low-end
terminals 
           such as when installing on a remote server via SSH/Telnet.". The
text only installation starts. 

Other questions:

        1.      Do the Zend files get installed in the root directory?
        
        2.      Does anyone know what I'm supposed to change my php.ini
file?

I will be *so* grateful if someone can walk me through this ASAP, because I
am stalled on this critical path to getting her store set up. 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Susan
