If you are on a GoDaddy server and are trying to use Syndicate Kahuna and you get a Zend Optimizer error when you try to add your site to the SK interface then read on for the fix.
Normally SK works fine on GoDaddy as long as you upload the sk-article file in binary mode. But if you get an error saying that Zend Optimizer isn't installed it's like because you are using php version 5.
I ran into this problem tonight. Although I have other sites that use Syndicate Kahuna within the same hosting package and they work fine, for one of my sites it didn't and the only real difference is that I enabled php 5 for that particular site. In case you didn't know, to enable php5 on GoDaddy you just have to add this line to the top of your .htaccess file: AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
Here's how I fixed it to get SK working...
1) Create a free account at Zend.com
2) Download Zend Optimizer for Linux x86 (32 Bit)
3) Unzip the Zend package and find the file: /data/5_2_x_comp/ZendOptimizer.so
4) Upload that file to your blog to a folder called "zend"
5) Create a file called php5.ini with the following text...
[Zend]
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension=zend/ZendOptimizer.so
zend_extension_ts=zend/TS/ZendOptimizer.so
6) Upload the php5.ini file to the root
That should do it.

Wow! Once again, you amaze me! I was VERY frustrated with this issue, and after Googling the problem (not thinking to just check with your site in the first place, which I will from now on!), low and behold, which site do I come up with for a straight forward, to the point, easy as pie answer? Keithjameslock.com, of course!
What would I do without your site? I really don’t want to know. Please don’t ever take this site down! :o)

Didn’t work for me. The php5.ini file goes in the zend folder, right? If not, where should it go? If so, I’m lost. Followed the instructions but no joy.

Hi Ray, the php5.ini goes in the root…thanks for the heads up. I updated it in the post. Hope there’s some joy now

I installed a theme for my blog on wordpress.org software from some website and when I tried to activate it, it start giving me an error which reads “Zend Optimizer not installed”. I tried installing it on my local machine but that’s of no use as it need to be installed on my web server. I am not able to navigate any page as it gives me the same error page and ask me to download the software using http://www.zend.com.
Since i have hosted on free domain providing site, i will not be able to log onto server and install the software. Is there any other way from which i can resolve the issue

Dezul, Not sure, sorry. I haven’t delved too deep in the free blog platforms. That might be a question for tech support there.

Hi Keith,
I have done everything following the instructions. But still get the error for zend asking me to contact the hosting company for installing zend. I host with Godaddy.
I uploaded the “zend” folder to the root directory,
then to “/wp-content/”.
Both didn’t work.
“php5.ini” is in the root directory.
Enabled php5 by adding “AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php”
What else i should do to fix this error ?

Hey made it work.
Deleted php.ini :)
Thank you.
