Installing Zend Server on DEB

This topic describes the procedures for installing Zend Server on a DEB operating system.

After installing Zend Server 6.x, you will automatically be using a 7-day Enterprise edition trial license. This trial period can be extended by an additional 21 days, after which the license expires. To continue working with Zend Server after this time period, contact Zend for a new license. For more information on Zend Serve editions, see Zend Server Editions.

Installing Zend Server with Apache

This section describes how to automatically and manually install Zend Server with Apache Web server.

Automatically Installing Zend Server

The following procedure describes how to run a script that will automatically create your DEB or RPM repositories and install Zend Server.

This method downloads files from the Internet and therefore requires that you have an active Internet connection, access to your distribution's repositories and root privileges for the server.

Note:

Using the Repository Installer script is the recommended and simplest method to install Zend Server, as it ensures a correct and healthier installation process. The script ensures that the correct repositories are set, verifies system requirements and issues the correct package management commands to set Zend Server up properly.

Download the package called "Zend Server (DEB/RPM Installer Script)" from zend.com - http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/downloads
Locate and extract the package:
ZendServer-X.X.X-RepositioryInstaller-linux.tar.gz
To change to the directory with the installer scripts run:
cd ZendServer-RepositoryInstaller-linux/
Depending on the PHP version (5.3 or 5.4) you wish to use , run the following commands:

./install_zs.sh <PHP Version>

After installing, a completion notification will appear, with a notice that the servers have started.

To access the Zend Server UI, open your browser at: https://<Server_IP>:10082/ZendServer (secure), or http://<Server_IP>:10081/ZendServer.

Tip:

Add --automatic at the end this command to run the script uninterrupted and without prompting verification messages.

Manually Installing Zend Server

This method uses "aptitude" and "apt-get" to handle the installation. Alternatively, you may choose any other tool that supports the DEB packaging format (i.e., Synaptic, Kpackage, etc).

This method downloads files from the Internet and therefore requires that you have an active Internet connection, access to your distribution's repositories and root privileges for the server.

Note:

This procedure requires root privileges.
To acquire root privileges in Ubuntu, run the following command, and type your password:
$ sudo -s.

To install Zend Server, the first thing you have to do is to setup the repository for downloading the Zend Server package.

To setup the environment:

Define a repository by opening the following file: /etc/apt/sources.list , and adding the line:

deb http://repos.zend.com/zend-server/6.1/deb server non-free

For Ubuntu 12.04 and above or Debian 7 and above, use:

deb http://repos.zend.com/zend-server/6.1/deb_ssl1.0 server non-free

Add Zend's repository public key by running:

# wget http://repos.zend.com/zend.key -O- |apt-key add -

If you are using sudo to run each command the next command requires using sudo following the '|' (pipe) symbol as follows:

# wget http://repos.zend.com/zend.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -

To synchronize with Zend's repository run:

# aptitude update

Now you can use "aptitude" to handle the installations, upgrades and additional packages.

To install:

Once the repository is set up, run the appropriate command according to the PHP version (5.3 or 5.4) you require:

# aptitude install zend-server-php-<PHP Version>

Each package locates and downloads all relevant packages from the web.
The actual installation will require your confirmation.
After installing, a completion notification will appear, with a notice that the servers have started.

To access the Zend Server UI, open your browser at: https://<Server_IP>:10082/ZendServer (secure), or http://<Server_IP>:10081/ZendServer.
