Installing Zend Server on Windows
This section describes the procedure for installing Zend Server on Windows.
To install and run Zend Server on Windows, you need the following:
- An account that has administrator rights, or run the installation as Administrator.
The user must have permissions to create symbolic links.
- Enough space on the hard drive to unpack and install (generally a minimum of 600 megabytes is recommended.)
Note:
After installing Zend Server 2021.3, you will automatically be using a 30-day Enterprise edition trial 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.
IIS Note:
The default installation of IIS does not have the URL rewrite capabilities. While Zend Server itself does not require such capabilities, you may want to take advantage of it in the applications that you run in Zend Server (for example, when using Zend Framework or Laminas based applications that use the default MVC components). In this case, refer to this topic.
Installing Zend Server with the Windows Installer
The following procedure describes how to install Zend Server on Windows using a binary distribution.
Note about installed PHP versions
Zend Server 2021.3 installs 4 versions of PHP, all available with a simple PHP switch, after installation.
By default, PHP 7.4 will be selected and enabled as Zend Server PHP runtime.
If you are upgrading from a former Zend Server installation, with PHP 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3 already installed on Zend Server, the installer enables and uses the PHP version which is already installed. PHP 7.4 is still available in the case of upgrade, to be enabled by a simple switch.
