Installing Zend-Server-CE on Ubuntu Server 10.04 proved to be a real pain in the ass. Somehow the MySQL server in the Ubuntu repository differs from the version required by Zend server, so after a default installation you will probably get the following error: "PHP MySQL library version xxx differs from your MySQL server". I looked the internet for solutions but found only people asking the same questing without finding a solution. So I figured a workaround myself, just install mysql-server from the older Ubuntu Server 9.10 (karmic) manually before installing zend-server-ce!

Use the following commands after a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 10.04:


code:

1 2 3 4

sudo aptitude install libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libreadline5 sudo aptitude install mysql-common wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/mysql-server-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Now mysql-server-5.0 is downloaded to your home directory
Also download the following files:

code:

1 2 3

wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/mysql-server-core-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/mysql-client-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/libmysqlclient15off_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Install these files in the following order:

code:

1 2 3 4

sudo dpkg -i libmysqlclient15off_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i mysql-client-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i mysql-server-core-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i mysql-server-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Now the zend-server might be installed (just follow the default procedure from now). Add the Zend repository to by editing the following file:

code:

1	sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Add to the end of this file:

code:

1	deb http://repos.zend.com/zend-server/deb server non-free

Save the file and exit the editor. Now install Zend Server:

code:

1 2 3

wget http://repos.zend.com/deb/zend.key -O- | sudo apt-key add - sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install zend-server-ce-php-5.3

Add the <install_path>/bin directory to the $PATH environment variable for all users.

code:

1	sudo vim /etc/profile

Add to end of file:

code:

1 2	PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/zend/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/zend/lib

In order for the changes to take effect, run the following command:

code:

1	source /etc/profile

I also installed the zend-framework extras and phpMyAdmin:

code:

1 2	sudo aptitude install zend-server-framework-extras sudo aptitude install phpmyadmin-zend-server

(configure for lighthttp (the zend server GUI webserver), enter your mysql administrator password and create a new random password for phpmyadmin mysql user when asked)

By default phpMyAdmin will be only accesible from the localhost, to allow access from another machine (ex. in your home-network) edit the following part of the lighttpd configuration:

code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

sudo vim /usr/local/zend/gui/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd.conf ===== ... $HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "127.0.0.1" { $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/phpmyadmin/" { url.access-deny = ( "192.168.1" ) server.errorfile-prefix = "//usr/local/zend/gui/lighttpd/share/lighttpd-custom-errors/errorcode-" } } ... =====

Restart all Zend Server Community Edition daemons:

code:

1	sudo /usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh restart

Now you might access the zend server GUI at port 10081 of the server (so for example http://192.168.1.70:10081).
Accept licence agreement and enter a password for access to the zend server GUI.
There is a link to phpmyadmin in the server GUI.
Enjoy!
