Zend Optimizer problems?

I was having issues with getting Zend Optimizer to work with Plesk and wanted to make a few notes for people with the same trouble.

I was getting the error:
[ionCube Loader] The Loader must appear as the first entry in the php.ini file in Unknown on line 0

* Check your phpinfo() output to see what .php file is being loaded.
* Stripping the [zend] section out of that file and restarting Apache should get you back online. (Or comment it out if you need to get your site back asap.)
* I got things fixed by renaming 'ioncube-loader.ini' to 'ioncube-loader.ini.old' in /etc/php.d. Apparently PHP loads these after processing the php.ini file, so I let the php.ini file load ioncube instead.
