I have just copied files over to a hosting service - it is a Windows web space, I checked ZEND is installed, and have the database ready, but am getting this error:
 
Fatal error: This encoded file is corrupted. Please refer to http://www.zend.com/support/support_faq.php?id=loader_file_corrupt for further help in D:\hshome\lubosh\delicashop.borderemail.com\includes\date_functions.php on line 0
 
Can you please tell me how to get around it?

I have the same problem
I am trying to install Viart on my local PC running xampp 1.6.7
xampp is supposed to be bundled with zend
 
Does anyone know where I start looking to fix this please?
 
My settings in php.ini are:
 
[Zend]
zend_extension_ts = "C:\myData\wwwroot\xampp\php\zendOptimizer\lib\ZendExtensionManager.dll"
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts = "C:\myData\wwwroot\xampp\php\zendOptimizer\lib\Optimizer"
zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 1
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
;zend_optimizer.license_path =
; Local Variables:
; tab-width: 4
; End:
 
From my phpinfo
 
Zend Optimizer
Optimization Pass 1 enabled
Optimization Pass 2 enabled
Optimization Pass 3 enabled
Optimization Pass 4 enabled
Optimization Pass 9 disabled
Zend Loader enabled
License Path no value
Obfuscation level 3
 
Any ideas please
thank-you

Google tells me that the reason is because the files need to be uploaded in "binary"

For those who maybe looking for the answer -
If you are getting this error with Viart installed on a webhost, try re-uploading Viart using "binary" mode.
 
If you are getting this error when installing on your local PC using xampp, then do the following:
 
Make sure you have a version of xampp that includes Zend Optimiser installed eg the latest version.
 
You then need to activate Zend like so:
 
In the following files:
 
xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
xampp\php\php4\php4.ini
xampp\php\php4\php.ini
xampp\php\php5.ini
xampp\php\php.ini
 
Find the zend section. Find the following line:
zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 0
 
Change it to:
zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 1
 
I only changed the php.ini in the apache folder and the php folder.
 
If you have any other problems, try googling the error message you receive.
