Configuring Zend Framework
Configuring Zend Server to Run a Zend Framework Application
The following procedure describes how to configure Zend Server to run Zend Framework projects in a
development environment, using port-based virtual hosts. The advantage of port-based virtual hosts is in
the ease of running several isolated applications on the same Web server. This overall solution allows
developers working on a Zend Framework project in Zend Studio to immediately test any code changes
locally.
The following procedure uses instructions suitable for Zend Studio for Eclipse and the Apache
bundled with Zend Server. A similar procedure with some modifications can apply for other IDEs and web
servers.

To configure Zend Server to run a Zend Framework application:
1. Create a new Zend Framework project.
If you have not already done so, create a new Zend Framework project using the New
Zend Framework Wizard in Zend Studio for Eclipse.
2. Define a virtual host on Zend Server that will point to the new project's public directory:
a. Find the full path to your project's public directory.
In Zend Studio for Eclipse, go to the project browser and right-click on the public
directory from the menu choose Properties. The full path is listed in the
Resource Tab's location field.
b. Open your Apache configuration file (in most cases it will be httpd.conf and
located in your Apache installation directory).
Where is my Apache configuration file?
c. Go to the end of the file and add the following section:
Listen 10089
< VirtualHost *:10089>
DocumentRoot " DOCUMENT_ROOT"
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride all
3. Replace "DOCUMENT_ROOT" with the full path to the public directory, enclosed in
