Deploying an Application on IBM Bluemix Using Zend Server

To deploy your application on IBM Bluemix using the Zend Server:

1. Open your CLI.

2. Create a new folder on your workstation, and access it.
3. Create a new 'index.php' file in the root folder of your application, and paste the following code:

<?php
echo "Hello world!;
?>

4. Alternatively, if you have an application package (.zpk) ready for deployment, place it anywhere in your application.
5. Enter the following command:

cf push <application name> -m 512M -b https://github.com/zendtech/zend-server-php-buildpack-bluemix.git

Your application is deployed using the Zend Server buildpack. This may take a few minutes

6. Once successfully initialized and deployed, a success message with the URL at which your application is available at is displayed.

7. To access the application, enter the supplied URL in your Web browser. For a .zpk, enter:

http://<application URL>/<zpk name>

8. To access Zend Server, add 'ZendServer' to the supplied URL. For example:

http://<application URL>/ZendServer

The Zend Server Login page is displayed.

9. To access the Zend Server UI, enter the following credentials:
   • Username - admin
   • Password - enter the following command in your CLI to retrieve an initial password:

   cf file <application name> /app/zend-password

   Tip:

   To change the Zend Server UI password, or in case you misplace your password, enter the following commands:
   cf set-env <application name> ZS_ADMIN_PASSWORD <new password>
   cf restart <application name>

10. To update your application in the future, use the 'cf push' command from within your application's source code directory.
