If you\u2019re a web developer and your development machine is a Mac you have likely\u00a0discovered\u00a0that \u00a0\u201cWeb Sharing\u201d was removed from OSX Mountain Lion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are a few tutorials on the web that can walk you through getting a PHP stack set up on the Mac, but they all describe somewhat more work than necessary.<\/p>\n

Since\u00a0Zend Server free edition<\/a>\u00a0offers production quality features and has installers for Linux, Windows and Mac \u2013 it makes a fine choice to replace the missing OSX Web Sharing feature, \u00a0and \u00a0it is easy to install.<\/p>\n

Start by visiting the Zend downloads page and selecting the Zend Server download option<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you click on the\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0download button you will be taken to another page where you will have the option to choose the platform and the\u00a0PHP<\/a>\u00a0version of theZend Server<\/a>\u00a0that you want to download.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I\u2019m working on a Mac, the \u201cMac OS X\u201d tab is automatically selected.<\/p>\n

After downloading the\u00a0.dmg file<\/a>\u00a0for the\u00a0PHP\u00a0<\/a>version that I choose \u00a0I click on the\u00a0.dmg file<\/a>\u00a0and see the\u00a0Zend Server 6 installer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The installer will check to make sure your operating system instance can supportZend Server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click \u201cContinue\u201d to go!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026 and again !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

STOP\u2026. \u00a0Read the installation information, there is some useful info in there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The installer will make one last check to make sure that you have enough disk space to install\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Click \u201cInstall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Enter your password to confirm to OSX that the installer is authorized to install\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You will get an ongoing status of the install process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The installer tells you when it\u2019s done. I can\u2019t guess how many times I\u2019ve run the installer but I\u2019ve never had this part fail.<\/p>\n

Next, there are two little modifications that I make before I start the server for the first time.<\/p>\n

Because you may install\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0on a machine that already has a web server,Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0installs by default listening to port 10088.<\/p>\n

Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0is my default web server on all my servers and development machines, and as we know\u00a0OSX Mountain Lion\u00a0<\/a>no longer includes a default web server, so I want to configure my\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0instance to listen on port 80 (the HTTP default port).<\/p>\n

To do this, start by opening a finder instance. We\u2019ll be editing the http.conf file which lives in a system directory so you it won\u2019t be visible in the finder. If you open Finder and click to navigate to your hard disk, you wont see a folder named \u201cusr\u201d.<\/p>\n

No problem! \u00a0Press Shift +\u00a0\u2318\u00a0(Command)\u00a0\u00a0+ G\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will open the Finder \u201cgoto\u201d dialog where you can enter the path to any folder that you please, even if it\u2019s not visible.<\/p>\n

We want \/usr\/local\/Zend<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note the \u201capache2\u2033 folder, click to enter it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Find the http.conf file, this is the one that we need to edit.<\/p>\n

NOTE: This file is probably NOT, by default, \u00a0writable by you.<\/p>\n

Some editors are smart enough to ask you to authenticate when you try to save a modified file for which you do not have write permissions. If your editort does not do this you will need to \u201cControl->Click\u201d, choose \u201cGet Info\u201d and\u00a0give yourself write permissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have opened http.conf, search for the \u201cListen\u201d attribute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note, by default the configuration is set to listen on port 10088, you can either change 10088 to just 80, or you can add another \u201cListen\u201d line like this\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cListen 80\u2033<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Save the file and the\u00a0Apache2\u00a0<\/a>instance of\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0will now listen on port 80.<\/p>\n

The next little tweak I like to make is to fix a little PHP nuance which is that, by default, the php.ini doesn\u2019t specify a default time zone.<\/p>\n

This will often cause pesky warning messages.<\/p>\n

There is a way to correct this inside\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0but I find it easier to fix the issue before starting\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0for the first time.<\/p>\n

Navigate back up to \/usr\/zend and enter the \u201cetc\u201d folder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Find the\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0instance\u00a0\u201cphp.ini\u201d<\/a>\u00a0file.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026 and open it in a text editor.<\/p>\n

Then search for \u201cdate.timezone<\/a>\u201c. When you find it you will notice that it is commented out and there is no default specified.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We need to uncomment the\u00a0date.timezone<\/a>\u00a0setting and specify an actual time zone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have done this, save the file and we are ready to log in to\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a06 for the first time.<\/p>\n

Point your browser at the\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0Console at http:\/\/localhost:10081\/ZendServer\/<\/p>\n

Of course, if you installed\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0on a server other than your local machine you will change localhost to whatever name you use to resolve to your server.<\/p>\n

Port 10081 is the default.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Agree to the license and click \u201cNext\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since we\u2019re setting up a development machine we\u2019re going to select \u201cDevelopment\u201d as the launch option. If you were configuring a production (or Q&A or Staging server) you might might go the other way.<\/p>\n

Click \u201cNext\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Enter an admin password and, optionally, add a developer password.<\/p>\n

The \u201cadmin\u201d and \u201cdeveloper\u201d accounts have different permissions. Perhaps not an issue on a local development box but a very cool feature in a production environment\u00a0because\u00a0a developer account can be given \u201cread only\u201d \u00a0access to specific apps so that you can trace and debug tough to reproduce bugs without messing up the production environment.<\/p>\n

Of course, in more advanced\u00a0scenarios\u00a0you can coordinate permissions with yourLDAP\u00a0<\/a>identities.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last chance ! Did you write down those passwords somewhere ?<\/p>\n

Click \u201cNext\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-21\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since we just installed\u00a0Zend Server\u00a0<\/a>there is no web app configured yet.\u00a0You\u00a0may want to install the sample application so that you can explore all the features of\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>!<\/p>\n

To do that, click on the \u201cWelcome\u201d Tab.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-22\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then you can click the \u201cInstall Demo\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-23\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the demo application is installed the server will need a restart. If it doesn\u2019t auto restart, just click on the restart icon (3rd from the right) to restart\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-24\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After restarting, the ZendDemoApp is pre-populated with a\u00a0collection\u00a0of \u201cproduction data\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

Take a look at the \u201cNotification Icon\u201d that has an orange circle with the number \u201c1\u2033 in it.<\/p>\n

When you install\u00a0Zend Server 6<\/a>\u00a0you have the full product feature set for 7 days. (Things like unlimited history log,\u00a0Java Bridge<\/a>,\u00a0Job Queue<\/a>, etc)<\/p>\n

I installed\u00a0Zend Server<\/a>\u00a0on my machine five days ago so when I click on the notification icon I\u2019m advised that my license will expire in 2 days.<\/p>\n

I can delay the message (to remind me later) or I can click on the \u201cDetails\u201d button to take action.<\/p>\n

\"ZC6MacInstall-25\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the\u00a0license\u00a0details page I have three options.<\/p>\n
