Installing Zend Optimizer on MAMP 2.1 - zend-framework

I just upgraded to MAMP Pro 2 and have noticed that they are no longer supporting Zend Optimizer due to Apache 64bit or something along those lines.
Anyways, I have a website that needs it and I have no idea of how to go about installing Zend Optimizer on MAMP 2 and just did a tutorial which made Apache break and stop working after I ran some command in terminal so I had to reinstall my MAMP set up.
I am currently running PHP 5.2.17.
Any help would be great :-)

Since your application also requires an old version of PHP, the easiest solution would be to install the previous version of MAMP 1.9 which includes PHP 5.2.17 and Zend Optimizer 3.3.9.
The older version of MAMP is 32-bit only but should still run fine under Lion/Mountain Lion (or at least I'm not aware of any obvious issues aside from not including 64-bit in the app bundle).

It's working! And also on the OS X Mountain Lion!
Requires PHP 5.2.17
Zend Optimizer for Mac OS X

Here step-to-step I helped myself with installing Zend Guard Loader. I also do the same processes for Zend Optimizer. I hope you find it helpful.

Deprecated Functionality: idn_to_ascii() Magento 2.3.1 with PHP 7.2

I'm using Magento 2.3.1 with PHP 7.2, facing error while creating customers account at admin end.
Found some sources on the internet to degrade PHP version.
Is there any other option available without degrading PHP 7.2?
Log:
main.CRITICAL: Exception message: Deprecated Functionality: idn_to_ascii(): INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 is deprecated in /public_html/vendor/zendframework/zend-validator/src/EmailAddress.php on line 560
idn_to_ascii() at Line 560:
return (idn_to_ascii($email) ?: $email);
I encountered this exact issue after upgrading the PHP version of the server to 7.3.
Initially, the issue was with the Zend framework like yourself, but after an upgrade to Magento 2.3.5 (in an attempt to correct the problem), an identical error was thrown for the newer Laminas.
I tried a number of solutions, including downgrading guzzle from 6.5.3 to 6.5.2, as suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61596343/9667652
It seems the only solution is to downgrade PHP to 7.1. The issue continues even with PHP 7.2. I downgraded to PHP 7.1 and emails are now sending.
EDIT: As per comment by #user125661, it's important to note that PHP 7.1 is no longer supported:
PHP 7.1 has reached End of Life. To maintain PCI compliance, Magento should not be run on unsupported software. Installing from GitHub will no longer work with Magento 2.3.4/PHP 7.1. The only way to install 2.3.4 with PHP 7.1.x is with Composer. Magento recommends using PHP 7.3
See: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/system-requirements-tech.html#php
This issue has been encountered repeatedly but is not able to be reproduced reliably, as documented here: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/19795
Looks as though the most likely reason for the issue is servers running CentOS 6, where CentOS 7 is needed: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/19795#issuecomment-486432245
Best bet is to get your server onto CentOS 7, but where this is not possible, it seems the only workaround is downgrading to PHP 7.1.

PHP 5.3.29 on Ubuntu 16.04 in order to run Joomla 1.5 locally

I'm working on a Joomla 1.5 website, which was developed with PHP 5.3. Now I'm having some incompatibilities issues with some components.
My machine runs Ubuntu 16.04.
The version of Joomla is 1.5.
PHP versions are 5.6 and 7.0 (apache is configured to run PHP 5.6)
I can't find a way to download and install it. The apt command only shows 5.5, 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1 PHP versions.
Can anyone help me?
I have joomla 1.5 on a website running. My config shows that PHP 5.4.16 is in use. Therefore, why dont you try it with PHP 5.4 and get it from the download page:
http://php.net/releases/
If you have troubles to install it on your computer. Take a look here:
https://serverfault.com/questions/353550/how-to-install-old-php-version
The link explains how you install a old php version on linux. Btw.: in the link it is only explained how to replace a PHP version. But it is possible to run different versions on a server.

What versions of eclipse and apache tomcat should I use with jdk-6u30?

I am configuring the env on Vista. I have jdk-6u30 and eclipse-jee-indigo-SR1-win32 installed on the system. Please suggest what tomcat version would be compatible? I tried installing apache-tomcat-7.0.25 but it gave me "requested resource not available error" hen I tested it for the first time. What is the reason of this error on first test? Is it something to do with the compatibility issue or choosing wrong way of installation? Please help.
The very newest versions of both Eclipse and Tomcat will work perfectly with that version of Java; you must have made some mistake in installing or testing.

Make .NET Framework 4 wpf application portable or more reliable to install

I am required to create a simple application. Since I am good at WPF and I don't know win forms that good I implemented my application by creating a .Net Framework 4.0 WPF project in Visual Studio. Everything works great the application runs like it is supposed to.
Since the application is required to run in multiple platforms (Windows XP and above) I am including the prerequisites when publishing my applications. The prerequisites happen to be:
1) WIC (Windows Imaging Component) old computers need that to run the .net framework 4.0
2) Windows installer 3.1 (needed in order to install the next prerequisite)
3) Windows .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile
If I install those prerequisites then the application runs like it is supposed to.
Now the problem is:
My boss did not approve my application because he tried installing it in a Windows XP machine with SP2 and this are the things that happened:
Step 1)
// first prerequisite (WIC) took less than 1 minute to install everything
// is working great so far.
Step 2)
// second prerequisite (Windows Installer 3.1) takes about 2 minutes to install
// which is great. After the installation is done the computer needs to be
// restarted in order to continue with the installation. Things are not going
// that good now but we are still ok...
Step 3)
// After the computer is done rebooting it continues with the last prerequisite
// (Windows .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile). That takes 10 minutes to install!!!!
Step 4)
// My application has all the prerequisites needed to be installed so it installs in
// about 1 minute
We recorded the time, and the application took about 25 minutes to install from start to finish. The computer where we tested the installation was a virtual computer using 2 cores and 1 GB of memory with 3.1 GHZ.
What do you guys recommend in order to speed up this installation? Should I use a different technology such as windows forms using .net 2.0? It will be nice if I can deploy the application that I have already created. If you guys could help me make this application portable I will really appreciate it. In order to do so I tried building my application with all the required references copied to the output directory. That did not work... Or any ideas of how to make the installation be faster will be of great help as well.
If you're using .NET Framework 4.0 (which is not going to come out-of-the-box with any versions of Windows, especially Windows XP) there's no way to get around the install of .NET 4.0 on the target machine. Your major bottleneck is going to be the download of .NET 4.0 files from Microsoft to the machine.
I've run into similar problems where the initial install of an application takes forever because of the .NET 4.0 download and install. We even encountered an issue where the application couldn't be install because there was insufficient disk space for the download.
One option would be to pre-push the prereqs out to all the machines you'll be install this on before deploying your application.
Otherwise, you might be forced to use an older version of the .NET framework. Here's a list of the framework versions which shipped with various versions of windows.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/03/14/mailbag-what-version-of-the-net-framework-is-included-in-what-version-of-the-os.aspx
Unfortunately, if your organization is committed to using a 10 year old operating system then they either need to accept that modern tools will require a lengthy install process while all prereqs are loaded... or else force you to use a 10 year old software technolgy.

Ruby 1.9.2 + Rails 3.0.3 + postgresql + windows vista

I would like to install Ruby1.9.2/Rails3.0.3 on my Windows Vista machine with PostgreSQL 9.0 as my database.
I have seen many different instructions on the web as to what works and what does not work.
Can anybody tell me which gem(s) I must install to get Ruby1.9.2/Rails 3.0.3 to drive PostgreSQL 9.0 on Windows Vista?
I appreciate any help you can give me.
I made a how-to for exactly this topic on:
http://netpie.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/setting-up-rails-3-with-postgresql-on-windows/
Please let me know if it worked for you and tell me where you had problems so that I can improve this how-to.
Best regards
Here you can get the Ruby 1.9.2 installer

Just click on it and it does all the work, after that go for Rails
Rails is easy, just download and follow the site instructions

About PostGre, you are on your own because I never used it...
But if you follow the instructions on the Rails web site you should be fine, they point the right ways to connect to several DBs
