Steve, why didn't you use Centos 6? The install for that is easier 
(omitting the >2GB changes)

yum -y install postfix httpd mod_ssl mysql mysql-server rpm-build vixie-cron crontabs logrotate yum-cron
chkconfig mysqld on
chkconfig httpd on

php.ini

This is already documented here. http://zend.to/phpini.php

Note: Ensure timezone is set for PHP 5.3 onwards

date.timezone = Europe/London

Ensure /etc/php.d/apc.ini has

apc.rfc1867 = on
apc.max_file_size = 50G
apc.slam_defense = off

Apache

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and set the following lines 
appropriately for your site:


The name of your ZendTo website with ":80" added on the end

ServerName DocumentRoot /var/www/html

to

DocumentRoot /opt/zendto/www

Around line 307, should contain /opt/zendto/www between the quotes

<Directory "/var/www/html">

to

<Directory "/opt/zendto/www">

HostnameLookups on

Set Permissions

usermod -a -G apache clam

Setup Mail

Postfix should just work as installed.

service postfix start
chkconfig postfix on

Setup Database

ZendTo requires a small back-end database to store all its information. 
On CentOS you have to use MySQL as SQLite is not available for PHP on 
CentOS or RedHat. MySQL

Setting up the MySQL database can be done by creating an empty database, 
importing the table layout and granting the proper permissions to the 
zendto user. Here is an example of that procedure:

# mysql -uroot -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE zendto; mysql> GRANT ALL 
PRIVILEGES ON zendto.* TO zendto at localhost IDENTIFIED by 'zendpassword'; 
mysql> quit

where zendpassword is your own password

# mysql -u zendto -p zendto < /opt/zendto/sql/zendto.MySQL

Enter the zendto mysql password

Update /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php

define('SqlBackend', 'MySQL');
//define('SqlBackend', 'SQLite');
// Next 4 lines needed for MySQL operation
'MySQLhost' => 'localhost',
'MySQLuser' => 'zendto',
'MySQLpassword' =>
'zendpassword<',
'MySQLdb' => 'zendto',

Update /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php

'localIPSubnets'       =>  array('139.166.','152.78'),
'recaptchaPublicKey'   =>  '1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
