Older versions of PinnacleCart (3.8.2 R3 and below) could work with PHP 5.2. Zend Optimizer was one of the encoding options available for these versions. However, Zend Optimizer does not work in PHP 5.3 and above. Since PinnacleCart version 3.8.3 R1 and above can only work with at least PHP 5.3, we are no longer providing Zend Optimizer encoded packages. All packages are now encoded with Ioncube and must be read by Ioncube Loaders.

If you've upgraded to PHP 5.3 or above and you were running Zend files using Zend Optimizer, chances are you have an error like the following:
Zend Guard Run-time support missing!
One more file on this website was encoded by ZendGuard and the required run-time support is not installed or properly configured.
For the Web site user
This means that this Web server is not configured correctly to run the files that it contains. Please contact the Web site's administrator/webmaster and inform them of this problem and give them the URL you are trying to display to help them in diagnosing the problem.
For The Site Administrator/Web Master
One or more files on your site were encoded with Zend Guard. These may be third-party libraries that were provided to you by an ISV. To allow these files to properly run you need to download and install one of the Zend guard run-time libraries. This is either ZendOptimizer or Zend Loader. The proper files can be downloaded fromhttp://www.zend.com/guard/downloads.This software is provided free of charge.
General Disclaimer: Zend Technologies is not responsible for the configuration and setup of websites using Zend Guard technology. Please contact your software vendor if these components were provided by an ISV or consult your Zend Guard Users Guide if these files were encoded by your organization.
Download Ioncube Package.
The first thing you will want to do is download the Ioncube package of the same version of PinnacleCart that you're currently running.
1. Log in to https://account.pinnaclecart.com
2. Scroll down and click on your domain in the Licenses area.
3. Scroll down to the list of package downloads and click Download next to the Ioncube package that matches your current cart version.
Install IonCube Loaders.
Next, you will need to be sure Ioncube Loaders are installed on your server.
If you're not a Server Administrator, you will want to contact your host about installing Ioncube loaders. If you are a Server Admin, there are plenty of articles on the web which explain how to install them for different PHP versions and Operating Systems.
Upload the Ioncube Package.
1. Unzip the Ioncube package locally on your computer.
2. Remove the following files and folders from the package:
content/engine/engine_config.php
content/skins
/install
Keep the remaining files.
3. Using FTP, upload and replace your existing files on the website, with the files remaining in your package.
Checking For More Zend Files.
In theory, the step above should have overwritten all Zend files with Ioncube files and now your site should load and you should be good to go. But, if you still receive the error, there's still a way to fix it.
1. Connect to the site using SSH.
2. Navigate to the web-facing directory for your store.
3. Run the following command:
grep -R Zend * | grep -v cache
This should list any remaining files that contain the word Zend. Once those files have been located, you can remove them.
