Upgrading Zend Server

To install a newer version of Zend Server on top of an older version, start the installation process by running the installation file. The Zend Server installation script will identify whether a previously installed version is present. If so, a prompt will appear asking if you want to override current settings or retain them.

There are several options for upgrading Zend Server. These options change according to the version you may have already installed on your system.

Upgrading Zend Server

There are several options for upgrading Zend Server. These options change according to the version you may have already installed on your system.

Installing Zend Server over an existing installation of Zend Server automatically upgrades the previous version installed in your server.

When the Zend Server installation is run, the RSTLICPGM command creates a copy of the etc directory as follows:

/usr/local/zendzvr/ is copied to /usr/local/zendzvr+timestamp directory/etc
/www/zendsvr is copied to /usr/local/+ timestamp directory

To transfer these settings to your new Zend Server installation, copy files such as the Apache configuration file and PHP.INI from the saved Zend Server directories to the new Zend Server installation directories.
