Post Installation on RPM (SLES and OpenSUSE)

If you intend to use PHP and other tools provided by Zend Server (pear and pecl) from the command line (PHP CLI), it is recommended that you add the <install_path>/bin directory to your $PATH environment variable.

This can be done in two ways:

  • Per user profile
  • For all users

The following procedure is intended for use with bash. If you are using a different shell, adjust the procedure accordingly.

 

 

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To add the <install_path>/bin directory to your $PATH environment variable per user profile, issue the following command:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/zend/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc

To add the Zend Server library path, issue the following command:

echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/zend/lib' >> $HOME/.bashrc

You can now run the PHP binary provided by Zend Server without typing its full path.
