1. At first, you need to download Wampserver on your computer. You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/WampServer%202/Wam... .
2. Start the installation tool.
3. http://www.wampserver.com/add-ons.php
4. Download the version of PHP 5.2.11, compatible for MotoCMS.
5. Find and download Zend Optimizer version 3.3 or higher.
6. While Zend Optimizer installation process is running, you should specify the path to PHP.ini (example C: \ wamp \ bin \ php \ php5.2.11).
7. Specify the path to the local server (for example C: \ wamp \ www)
8. Start the server and access it in the browser. (http://localhost/)
9. Check the availability of Zend Optimizer and the current version of PHP (5.2.X)
10. For smoothly working with MotoCMS, you need to enable the following PHP extensions: curl, mhash, mysql, mcrypt. In case, when you cannot enable them in the menu of WAMP-server, you need to uncomment them in your PHP.ini (C: \ wamp \ bin \ php \ php5.2.11), removing the ";" with the appropriate string (eg "; extension = php_curl.dll "-" extension = php_curl.dll "

Zend Optimizer 3.3.0 and 3.3.3 not loading using php 5.2.11,
any suggestions?
I'm trying to setup in wampp with the above instructions but not working. I'm getting errors when i install zend optimizer.
Hello Antonis,
Please, provide more detailed description of what kind of errors do you have. The screenshots might be very helpful.
Do i have to choose PHP v5.2.11 in wampp server before i install zend optimizer?
Do i have to uncomment the extensions that you mention in manual above before i install zend optimizer?
Do i have to install Apache server as a service?
When the setup of zend optimizer 3.3.3 finish asks me to start my Apache manually before i click ok and i'm starting apache.
The setup ends and then i'm trying to start all services and "put online" and i'm getting this error PHP error CLI.
My site opens normally in localhost. I can't open it from another computer on the same network (Forbidden You don't have permission to access /site/index.php on this server.)
Any suggestions?
Antonis,
If your site opens normally on the localhost, that means there is no problems with Zend Optimizer.
Looks like something is wrong with your local server's settings so it do not allow to put your site online. Sorry, but unfortunately nobody in our office understand Greek.
Please suggest another php version that is compatible for MotoCms (older or newer)
Hello,
Any PHP 5.2 or 5.3 version is ok. In case you will use PHP 5.3 - you will need to install Zend Guard Loader instead of Zend Optimizer. Also you will need to submit a ticket, so we will provide you with PHP 5.3 set of files.
Eventually, i decide to install xamp instead of wamp.
Xampp v 1.7.1 (PHP 5.2.9) and Zend Optimizer 3.3.3 worked just fine, i think...
I enabled PHP extensions: curl, mhash, mysql, mcrypt as suggests installation manual.
Seems that wampp version which the installation manual suggests above (including PHP 5.3) after the installation of Zend optimizer (v 3.3.0 or 3.3.3) and downgrade to PHP 5.2.11 had some problems with the php.ini file and couldn't get online.
Anyway thank you for being here for me and i hope that i didn't cause any trouble.
Thank you, Antoni! Off course, you didn't cause any trouble, this is our work - to answer the questions our customers are asking.

Hello Emanuele,
Please be advised, you would not be able to activate the template without internet connection
Your template's control panel display your external IP-address, visible to our activation server.
This is the correct IP to use while activating your site at http://accounts.cms-guide.com
