I have a new VPS running Plesk 9.3.0 without 'much' modifications to any settings. I've moved a site to this VPS and I'm receiving a page full of random 'gibbrish' characters like:

phpinfo() shows PHP is running on the Zend engine. This server is unmanaged so I cannot ask the hosting provider for assistance.

Any help big or small will be appreciated.

The Zend Engine is not the Zend Optimizer

you want to see something like:

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies
    with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.3.18, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by ionCube Ltd., and
    with Zend Optimizer v3.3.9, Copyright (c) 1998-2009, by Zend Technologies
    with Suhosin v0.9.29, Copyright (c) 2007, by SektionEins GmbH

You can download the Zend Optimizer, 3.3.9 is the most recent I believe, and install it in your php.ini file like:

[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613/ZendOptimizer.so

making sure you specify the correct path.

Problem was related to 1 corrupted file deep in the directory tree, took me a while to find it.
