Installing Zend Server Community Edition in Mac OSX

In this tutorial, i am using Zend Server Community Edition version 4.0.3 for Mac, and the version for my mac is Leopard 10.5.5.

All you have to do is follow this instruction and everything will gonna be alright :)
1. Download Zend Server installation file from www.zend.com/products/server/ the filesize around 150 MB
2. Mount the DMG file, then click on ZendServer.pkg file. You can install it with default configuration, beside there is no advanced/custom options here :)














When installation finished, Zend server will put all files in directory /usr/local/zend
To access Zend Server control panel, go to your Applications then click on ZendServer icon


You browser will be opened then you can write your own password in this page to access ZendServer Control Panel later. Newsletter Registration is optional so you can choose to receive emails or not.


And here is the page when you visit ZendServer dashboard for the first time


In ZendServer, default settings is always enough for standard php developer (like pdo, pdo_mysql,ssl,json,etc already activated), for my development usually i always turn on feature Display Errors option to make sure there is no errors in my application then i can activate/deactivate all errors/warning in my Php script (don't forget to Save Changes and Restart PHP if you make any changes)


Quick Installation (no more than 5 minutes after installation file downloaded), simple and it's powerful..

To access Control Panel: http://localhost:10081/ZendServer
Your htdocs files located at /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs and you can access with your browser at: http://localhost:10088/
yeah, the default port for ZendServer is 10088, they just want to avoid conflict with default apache in Mac OSX. But we can change this later.

What if you want to uninstall Zend Server ? go to shell as root then write this:
#/usr/local/zend/bin/uninstall.sh

In the next tutorial i will explain how to activate SSL in ZendServer, enable virtual host and also change DocumentRoot from default folder to your own directory.
