SimpleScripts.com, better than Fantastico

SimpleScripts.com, a script installation service provider is offering 1 Click script installation services.

It is a “one click” auto-installer for many of the most popular free scripts on the internet. Some examples are WordPress, PHP BB 3, Drupal, Joomla, and many more.

The service originally launched on Bluehost and Hostmonster but have extended to other webhost services too. SimpleScripts itself is a hosted application so web hosting companies can license it and integrate into their own control panels for the benefit of their users. It isn’t even tied to Cpanel only. It will work with VPS and dedicated servers, as well as other control panels such as Plesk.

Fantastico too offer similar service but it can’t do properly most of the time.

Here are some of the main feature of Simple Script

Intelligent Script Installer

SimpleScripts automatically checks to make sure your web hosting account is compatible and automatically installs scripts for you. No more headaches of downloading software, sending it to your hosting account, running installation and configuration utilities. SimpleScripts does the hard work for you. SimpleScripts can work on almost any hosting platform available.

Fast and Safe

Tired of waiting days or weeks for security updates and new features to be available to you? With SimpleScripts reliable upgrades are made available within hours of release! What’s more, it takes only seconds to install a script or upgrade to the latest version.

Stay Informed

SimpleScripts offers upgrade notifications via email. When a script you have installed has a new version available, SimpleScripts will send you a reminder email to help you keep your website secure and up to date.

Simple Flexibility

Install several folders deep, or on a sub-domain of your hosting account. Do you have a plugin that does not work with the latest version of your software? You can install an earlier version or even try out the latest beta release. If your site has any problems with a recent upgrade, you can also restore your website to pre-upgrade conditions with the click of a button! Now that’s Simple.

Installing Zend Optimizer locally.

I need a higher version of Zend Optimizer than what is installed on the server. How do I locally install Zend Optimizer?
1. Visit http://www.zend.com/downloads to download latest zend optimizer

2. Extract the files in your local computer. You will find a folder called data. Rename the folder to a more specific name such as zendopt (We will use
this name for the rest of this article).

3. Upload the zendopt folder to public_html.

4. Add following lines to php.ini (create the file if it does not exist):

[Zend]
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension=/home/USERNAME/public_html/zendopt/4_4_x_comp/ZendOptimizer.so
zend_extension_ts=/home/USERNAME/public_html/zendopt/4_4_x_comp/TS/ZendOptimizer.so

Note: replace USERNAME with your cpanel username. Please also replace
4_4_x_comp with whatever php version on your server. Zendopt folder contains several folders such as 4_4_x_comp, 5_1_x_comp, and 5_2_x_comp. Please select the closest to your php server.

6. Confirm the zend optimizer has been upgraded by creating a php file with the following line and browse the file on the internet:

<? echo phpinfo(); ?>
