    Perfect! Thanks!

  2. Thanks Bob,
    I recently moved to a VPS server after years of shared hosting and spent weeks trying to learn and install various things using the SHELL access. Today after following the steps in your tutorial to install POD, I realised I could have used this exact same method for the Zend Optimizer and Ioncube loader etc. Feeling really silly now. Many Thanks, Toria

    Hello, I want to ask If there is any possibillity to lose me data of server If i make the update. Thanks

      if you’re referring to the database you won’t lose any data. What it actually does it just re-compile your php build base on the your old setting plus additional module you want to install.

    Thanks for breaking it down Bob. A lot simpler than any other tut’s I could find

  6. Hello, I want to ask something about if the re-compile doesn’t work.. do we have a Second Plan?

      You can install it manually by doing this.

      1. $ pecl install pdo

      now add the extension in php.ini file

      ; Extension PDO
      extension=pdo.so

      Hope this would help.
