Upgrading Zend Server on Mac OS X

The procedures on this page describe the upgrade procedures for a single Zend Server and a Zend Server cluster on a Mac OS X operating system.
Please read the following restrictions carefully before proceeding.

Upgrade Restrictions

Upgrading Zend Server can only be performed when upgrading from Zend Server 6.x and older to Zend Server 8.x, or when upgrading between Zend Server 8.x versions.

Direct upgrades from Zend Server 5.6 or older can only be performed using a clean installation of Zend Server 8.x. If a clean installation is not possible, you will need to complete a two-step upgrade procedure. For more information, please contact the Zend Support Center.

For a list of limitations and known upgrade issues, see the Zend Server Release Notes.

Note:

When upgrading from a PHP version lower than PHP 5.5, the Optimizer component will be replaced by the OPcache (Optimizer Plus Cache) component.

Using the Zend Repository Installer

The upgrade procedures use the Linux Zend Repository Installer program which includes a simple shell script that automates the process of upgrading Zend Server through Zend's DEB repository.

The script upgrades your Zend Server and PHP versions, according to your current configurations and target version passed. The script will notify you when an upgrade cannot be performed. This occurs in the following scenarios:

• When attempting to upgrade from Zend Server 5.x and below
• When attempting to downgrade a PHP version
• When attempting to upgrade a Web server (e.g., from Apache to nginx)

Upgrading a Single Zend Server

This section describes the procedure for upgrading a single Zend Server.

Example Scenarios:

• Upgrading from Zend Server 7.x to 8.x
• Upgrading between 8.x versions
• Upgrading a PHP Version on Zend Server 8.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).

	To upgrade Zend Server: Download Zend Server 8.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 .
