Upgrading Zend Server on Mac OS X

The procedures in this topic explain the upgrade procedures for a single server on a Mac operating system.

Upgrade Restrictions:

Upgrading Zend Server can only be performed when upgrading from Zend Server 5.6 or 6.x to Zend Server 7.x, or when upgrading between Zend Server 7.x versions. If you would like to upgrade a Zend Server older than 5.6, you should first upgrade to 5.6, and only then upgrade to 7.0. Upgrading PHP versions can only be performed on Zend Server 6.x or 7.x. Zend Server 5.6 Cluster Manager cannot be upgraded.
For a list of limitations and known issues, see Zend Server's release notes.

Note:

After upgrading to Zend Server 7.x, you will automatically be using a 30-day Zend Server Enterprise edition license. 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.

Note:

When upgrading to PHP 5.5 from a previous PHP version, the Optimizer+ component is replaced by the OPcache (Optimizer Plus Cache) component.

Upgrading a Single Zend Server

This procedure explains how to upgrade from Zend Server 5.6 or 6.x to Zend Server 7.x, upgrade between Zend Server 7.x versions, and how to switch between PHP versions on Zend Server 7.x.

Important!

When changing a major PHP version, some PHP and Zend Server configuration settings may be lost. For post-upgrade reference, we recommend making a backup of the 'etc' folder located in the Zend Server installation files (/usr/local/zend/etc-x.x.x).

Note:

When upgrading from Zend Server 5.6, the following data is lost: monitoring rules configurations, code tracing settings, PHP extension status.

	To upgrade Zend Server: Download Zend Server 7.x for Mac OS X from http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/downloads After downloading the package, locate the downloaded file, and double-click it to reveal the package file 'ZendServer.pkg'. Double-click the package file to start the upgrade process. Follow the instructions presented by the Installer. Pay attention to the important information presented during the upgrade process. If necessary, click Change Install Location to define a different location for installing Zend Server .
