Anyone know how to install Zend Optimizer on Godaddy server?

[Reycer]

Just like the title stated. I was wondering if anyone has done this? If so, how? I need to install it on my Godaddy server, running Linux. I downloaded the file from Zend and then uploaded it to my server, and then I was told that GoDaddy already has this installed on their server. So how do I get it running? Here's the error message I am getting.

Doesn't godaddy have support for their hosting?
Do you have your own server? or is it shared or a vps
It may be installed, but you might have to enable it via your server control panel

You're kidding, right?
Godaddy doesn't have Zend?
I'm almost positive that the Shared hosting has it.
Donno about VPS or Dedicated though.

First go to http://www.zend.com/free_download/optimizer download Zend Optimizer appropriate for your server system. This installation is for Linux server running Fedora 6. My pacakage for Zend Optimizer is Zend Optimizer 3.3.0 Linux x86.

1.Download to your desktop ( or a place you desire ).
2.Connect to your server via FTP SSH connection using your GoDaddy supplied username and password. This is the same username/password combo used to login to SSH Terminal.
3.When you first connect to the server it usually drops you in the /home folder. Navigate up one folder until you get to / you will see all your server files here like boot, etc, usr, var.
4.Select your tmp folder and upload the Zend Optimizer package.
5.Connect to your server via SSH, I use putty. When you connect it will ask for your username and then password. Once you have entered your info enter su - to become admin and then enter your password again.
5.now enter the following commands:
cd /tmp
ls ( to view all files in this directory) you will see a list, you are looking for the Zend file you uploaded.
6.now enter the following commands:
tar zvfx ZendOptimizer-3.3.0a-linux-glibc21-i386.tar ( remember this is my file yours maybe different type the file name you uploaded ) if you do not want to type out the whole file name type tar zvxf Z and hit tab the rest of the file name will be filled in automaticaly. Now hit ENTER, you will see a long list being extracted and put into a new folder.
7.now enter the following commands:
cd ZendOptimizer-3.3.0a-linux-glibc21-i386/ and hit ENTER this will move you into the new Zend folder.
8.now enter the following commands:
./install.sh this will start the installer, at this point just follow the promts and hit enter for all questions, Zend will find all locations and make all needed files.
9.Select restart web server.
10.Even after Zend indicates it has restarted the server I do so again by typing the following command:
service httpd restart
11.When it indicates the server has restarted type the following command php -v and if all went well you will see the following displayed:

ok, I've got it. Turns out, Zend Optimizer is already installed on GoDaddy servers (just as I thought) and you have to be using PHP4 to get it working. PHP5 or better will make it not work. Who woulda thunk....
