Zend Optimizer not installed

[Kishida]

Hello, I got that Zend Optimizer not installed page popping up now.

"The component "Zend Optimizer" is not installed on the Web Server and therefore cannot service encoded files. Please download and install the Zend Optimizer (available without charge) on the Web Server."

It was working correctly last night. I'm on Chopin so I'm guessing it has to do with that server update? Can I get a little help with this?

Bump for greater justice since it's been 3 days and I'm not the only one with this issue...

Zend Optimizer not installed

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.
In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.
The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.

I'm on Chopin btw. Is there something wrong with Chopin?

I'm not sure about the Status of Zend Optimizer as far as the Free Hosting goes, but does your script have a way to disable Zend support for the meantime?

[Kishida]

Yeah. I uploaded a Ioncube version of the scripts to replace the Zend version. Things are working correctly now.

Though I'm still curious what is up with Zend on the free hosting servers.
