Windows Installation
In this Topic ShowHide
This section describes the three available processes for installing
Zend Server on Windows:
Either via a native Windows installer, an unattended Installation or a
Silent Installation.
Note
If you are upgrading Zend Server
from an existing installation older than Zend Server
Version 5.1, you must first
perform the procedure described in .
To run Zend Server
on Windows, you need the following:
- Generally, you should install Zend Server
on Windows using an account that has administrator rights. Otherwise,
you may encounter problems with certain operations such as editing
the PATH environment variable or accessing the Service Control Manager.
- Enough space on the hard drive to unpack and install (generally
a minimum of 200 megabytes is recommended.)
Zend Server for Windows
is available in a binary distribution that contains a setup program .exe
file. The .exe file installs everything you need to start using Zend Server
immediately.
If you are encountering problems with Internet Explorer 7 running on
Windows 2008 Server, see the following troubleshooting topic: Windows:
Internet Explorer Blocking Zend Server
IIS Note:
Zend Server
running with IIS does not provide URL rewrite capabilities. If you require
such capabilities (for example, when using Zend Framework based applications
that use the default MVC components) refer to the following troubleshooting
article.
Installing Zend Server
Installing with the Native Windows Installer
The following procedure describes how to install Zend Server
on Windows using a binary distribution.
Note:
Users of previous versions of Zend Server
need to shut down and remove their existing Zend Server
installations manually before installing Zend Server.
See Section “Upgrading”, for more information
on upgrading from a previous version.

To install Zend Server:
After completing the download, double-click
on the .exe file to start the installation process. There are three installation types available:
Typical, Full, and Custom.
The Typical
installation type installs the most common options and
is recommended for most users. The installed components
are Zend Optimizer+, Zend Loader, Zend Debugger, Zend
Cache, Zend Framework,
Monitor and Page Cache and Oracle OCI Driver. The Full
installation type installs all components included in
the installation package. The components are Zend Optimizer+,
Zend Loader, Zend Debugger, Zend Cache, Java Server, Zend
Framework, Oracle OCI Driver, phpMyAdmin, IBM DB2 RTCL,
Monitor, Page Cache and MySQL. The
full installation package requires an Internet connection
while running the installation, to download online components. The Custom
installation type gives you complete control over which
packages you wish to install and the installation path
that is used. The components are Zend Optimizer+, Zend
Loader, Zend Debugger, Zend Cache, Java Server, Zend Framework,
Oracle OCI Driver, phpMyAdmin, IBM DB2 RTCL,
Monitor, Page Cache and MySQL.
Important
Note:
If you are installing Zend
Server in order to create a cluster with Zend Server Cluster
Manager, make sure you use an identical installation path
for all the servers, otherwise Zend Server Cluster Manager
will refuse to add the server to the cluster (based on
the configurations of the first server added to the cluster
from inside Zend Server Cluster Manager).
Click the NEXT
button to advance to the Confirmation dialog. If you choose the Custom
installation type, click the NEXT
button to advance to the “Destination
Location” dialog. Select a Web server on which to install the
PHP and the Installation Location. Click the NEXT
button to advance to the Select Features dialog. Select the features to install by double-clicking
the check box next to each feature. A single click on a feature
in the list displays a description for the feature. Click
the NEXT button to
advance to the “Administration Interface Password” screen
and from there, to the Confirmation dialog. The Confirmation
Dialog
Once you choose an installation type and choose your installation
components, you advance to the confirmation dialog.
Your installation type and installation path are displayed
for you to review. To install Zend Server
(if you are satisfied with your settings), click the INSTALL button. To change
your settings, click the BACK
button. To exit the Zend Server
Installation Wizard without installing Zend Server,
click the CANCEL button. The Custom
Installation
The custom installation installs select components and provides
an option to choose the Web server on which to install PHP.
After confirming the installation, if the port number is already
in use, you are asked to specify a different port number.
The selected Web server is configured to the port specified
after completing the installation. |
A
browser opens after the installation, to display the Administration
Interface's login screen. Use the password you specified in the
installation process to log in. If it was selected during the
installation, a shortcut is added to your desktop, otherwise,
bookmarking the page at this point will help you to easily locate
the link. |
Installing Additional Components
While running the Installer in custom mode, you can choose not to install
certain components. If at any time, you want to add them or remove them,
save the installation file and re-run in Modify mode or, if you did not
keep the Installer file, go to the Control Panel, click Add/Remove programs
and select "change" to run the Installer.
Note:
For information on running the installer in "Silent
Mode" see the following Knowledge Base article: http://kb.zend.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=464
Installed Components
Java Bridge
The Java Bridge is set to run by default and it requires that you have
SUN Microsystems JRE 1.4 (or later) installed on your computer. Therefore,
if you do not already have JRE installed, install it before using the
Java Bridge. The Installer is set to detect your JVM: if you do not have
one, the Installer prompts you to identify its location. Clicking NO continues the installation without
the Java components. More information about JREs and the latest updates
can be found on the Sun Microsystems website: http://java.sun.com.
Locating Installed Components
Zend Server installs
to the directory: <install_path>\Zend
Server.
If you choose to install Apache from the Zend Server
installation, an additional folder containing your installed Apache is
added to the installation path:
<install_path>\Zend Server
<install_path>\Apache2.2
If you choose to install phpMyAdmin from the Zend Server
installation, an additional folder containing phpMyAdmin is added to the
installation path:
<install_path>\Zend Server
<install_path>\phpMyAdmin
Start Menu Options
The Installation Wizard creates a new entry in the Windows START menu
under a Zend Server
menu heading.
