Installing Zend Server on RPM (RHEL, CentOS and OEL)

This topic describes the procedures for installing Zend Server on an RPM (RHEL, CentOS and OEL) operating system.

Note:

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.

Tip:

If you are using SELinux, see SELinux for more information on installing Zend Server with SELinux support.

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 RPM repository 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.

 

 

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

  1. Download the package called "Zend Server (DEB/RPM Installer Script)" from zend.com - http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/downloads

  2. Locate and extract the package:
    ZendServer-X.X.X-RepositioryInstaller-linux.tar.gz

  3. To change to the directory with the installer scripts run:
    cd ZendServer-RepositoryInstaller-linux/

  1. 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

To install Zend Server, first setup the repository for downloading the Zend Server package.

This method uses "yum" to handle the installation. Alternatively, you may choose any other tool that supports the RPM packaging format (e.g. 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.

PHP Note:

The Zend Server installation package will replace your distribution's PHP - this may create conflicts between RPM packages. If you cannot install one of Zend Server's components, it is recommended that you remove your distribution's PHP packages and try to install again.

SELinux Note:

SELinux users must change their system settings to permissive mode before starting the Zend Server installation procedure, by executing the following command:
# setenforce permissive.

 

 

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To setup the environment:

Set up your Zend Server repository by creating '/etc/yum.repos.d/zend.repo' and adding the following content:

[Zend]
name=zend-server
baseurl=http://repos.zend.com/zend-server/6.1/rpm/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repos.zend.com/zend.key

[Zend_noarch]
name=zend-server - noarch
baseurl=http://repos.zend.com/zend-server/6.1/rpm/noarch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repos.zend.com/zend.key

Now you can use 'yum' to handle installations or any other tool that supports the RPM packaging format.

 

 

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To install:

  1. Once the environment is setup, run the appropriate command according to the PHP version (5.3 or 5.4) you require:

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

  1. To clean your packages cache and ensure retrieval of updates from the web, run:

yum clean all

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