Configuring Zend Server
Zend Server Reference Manual
This section refers to the actual configuration workflow for using Zend Server Here, we describe the
general workflow. Each component also has a separate section describing how to work with the
component in detail.
The Zend Server's Administration Interface is the main control center for configuring your PHP and Zend
Server components. After installing Zend Server, use the Administration Interface to configure your PHP
by performing the following actions:
1. In Server Setup | Extensions, define the extensions that should be "turned on" or "turned off". If
you are planning to use functions related to an extension in your code, verify that the extension is
turned on. If your extension has additional directives that are used to configure the extension's
behavior, a configure link is included in the Directives column. Clicking this link leads you to the
directives, pre-sorted to display the relevant directives.
2. The Directives page is accessed by clicking Server Setup | Directives. Here, you find all the
directives relating to the extensions and components loaded in your PHP. If you cannot find a
directive in the directives page, look in Server Setup | Extensions or Server Setup |
Components to check that the extension or component is "turned on".
See Adding Extensions for instructions on how to manually add an extension.
3. In Server Setup | Components, define the Zend Server components that should be "turned on" or
"turned off". If you are planning to use functions related to Zend Server components in your code
(such as the Optimizer+, Data Cache, Debugger, Guard Loader or Java Bridge), verify that the
extensions are "turned on". If your Zend Server component has additional directives used for
configuring the component's behavior, a configure link is included in the Directives column.
Clicking this link leads you to the relevant directive in the Directives page .
4. In Server Setup | Debugger, define which hosts are allowed to connect to the server to use the
Zend Debugger for debugging and which hosts are not allowed.
5. In Rule Management | Monitoring , define the rules to generate events in Monitor | Events .
Additional Monitor settings to define behavior (such as integration with Zend Studio for Eclipse
and Mail settings for forwarding event information outside Zend Server) can be found in Server
Setup | Monitor .
6. In Rule Management | Caching , define the rules to cache output based on a URL.
