Getting Started
with Zend Server
In this Topic ShowHide
Zend Server is a
tool that requires a minimal amount of actual interaction with the Administration
Interface. Once your environment is setup, apart from occasionally logging
in to view your system settings or your php.ini, there are not many day-to-day
activities that require the Administration Interface.
The first point of reference for working with Zend Server is what to do after
installation.
What to do After Installing Zend Server
The following section describes the tasks that should be performed after
installing Zend Server
for the first time.
These tasks cover all the different
installation types (DEB, RPM,
Tarball and Windows).
Each task is accompanied by a description of its purpose and the expected
results.
Run the Administration Interface
Purpose: To verify the installation
and that the Administration Interface is accessible.
Result: the Administration Interface
opens in a browser.
The Administration Interface is a Web interface
that runs through a browser.
This procedure describes how to view the Administration Interface.
|
|
|
To view the Administration Interface:
To run Zend Server
locally, open a browser and enter the following URL:
For Windows: http://localhost/ZendServer;
For Linux:
http://localhost:10081/ZendServer or https://localhost:10082/ZendServer
If you are using a remote connection, replace localhost with
your Host Name or IP. The Zend Server
login screen opens and prompts you to set a password.
This screen only appears once and is not displayed again after
your password is set. |
The
next time you log in to Zend Server,
you are prompted for the password you set the first time you opened
Zend Server. |
Configure
Your Password
Purpose: To ensure that you
can access the Administration Interface.
Result: Your password is created.
When you first run Zend Server,
the registration screen is displayed. Define your Zend Server
login password in this screen.
To view the different password management options, click Password
Management.
Check Apache
Purpose: To verify that Apache
is running.
Result: System confirmation.
This procedure describes how to check if the Apache
Web server is running.
|
|
|
To check if the Apache server is
running:
DEB, RPM,
Tarball: from the command line, run ps -ef | grep
-E 'apache2|httpd'.
Windows: In the system
tray, hover over the Apache Monitor icon to view the Apache status.
If necessary, click to open a dialog with the Stop, Start and
Restart options.
|
A
notification with the Apache server status is displayed. |
Note:
Every time the
Apache is restarted, the following message is displayed: "httpd:
Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,
using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName".
To resolve this situation, add a line to the Apache configuration file,
as follows:
Open the file <install_path>/apache2/conf/httpd.conf and add the
following line, placing your server's Host name in the brackets: ServerName
[server name]
Check IIS
Purpose:
To verify that the bundled webserver is installed and running.
Result:
System confirmation.
This procedure
describes how to check if the IIS server is running.
|
|
|
To check if the IIS server is running:
Use Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314771 [^]
Look for the presence of the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp
-or-
Issue the following command in cmd :
Iisreset /status |
If
the following message is received, then IIS is not
running:
“'iisreset' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.” ----&61664; not installed
If the following messages are received, then IIS is running:
“Status for Windows Process Activation Service ( WAS ) : Running"
"Status for World Wide Web Publishing Service ( W3SVC )
: Running” ---&61664; installed |
Run a Test on Your Web Server
Purpose: To verify that the
installed Web server is running properly.
Result: The "Hello World"
message is displayed in your browser.
This procedure describes how to run a test PHP script.
|
|
|
To run a simple test script:
Create a file called hello.php Enter the following code into the file:
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
The "Hello World" message is displayed when the code
runs in a browser.
Save the file in your Apache document root
directory.
Only files in this directory are serviced by the Web server.
For information about the document root directory, see . Open a browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:<port number>/hello.php.
Replace <port number> with the port you are using. The
default values are port 80 for Windows DEB and RPM and port
10088 for the other operating systems unless you manually
changed the port assignment. |
Your
browser displays the "Hello World" message. |
Configure Debugger Access Control
Purpose: To enable PHP debugging using Zend Studio and Zend Server.
Result: You are able to debug your PHP code and view the results in
Zend Studio.
Before working with the Debugger, configure the allowed hosts in Server Setup | Debugger.
Note:
By default, Zend Server
comes with a permissive setting that allows all standard private IP addresses
(for example 10.*.*.*) to access the Debugger. For security reasons, if
you do not have an immediate need for permissive access, remove these
ranges from the Allowed Hosts: 10.*.*.* / 192.168.*.* / 172.16.*.*.
Additional setup information can be
found in the Installation Guide, in .
