RPM Upgrade Note:
After upgrading from the Community Edition to Zend Server, you will need to manually start your server by running the command: <install_path>/bin/zendctl.sh start.
Once you have upgraded your Community Edition to Zend Server, you will need a license to run the fully functional product. If you do not enter a license, Zend Server will run with the same functionality as the Community Edition: There is no need to do anything. The full version of Zend Server will continue to provide the basic Community Edition features and functionality. This also means that when you do decide to purchase Zend Server, all you need to do is add a license to activate the complete functionality.
Alternatively, you can remove Zend Server and reinstall the Community
Edition. To preserve your configurations, back up your configuration files
before you remove Zend Server and return them after you reinstall the
Community Edition.
The recommended directories to backup are:
Currently there is no automated process for upgrading from Zend Platform/Zend Core to Zend Server. However, it is possible to install Zend Server on a separate machine and manually transfer part of the Zend Platform/Zend Core configurations to the machine running Zend Server. This may help save some time configuring your Zend Server environment.
The following configuration files can be manually copied and used to replace Zend Server configuration files:
After transferring any configuration from Zend Platform/Zend Core to Zend Server it is highly recommended to thoroughly test your applications before permanently applying these changes.
Rollback is the process of reverting to an older version of Zend Server.
Currently there is no automated process for this. Therefore, users who want to rollback should first uninstall their current version and only then install an older version of Zend Server.
Note:
This does not refer to Updates. You can rollback to remove recently added updates. For more information on updating go to Update Notifications.
