This is quick guide, howto install Zend Framework (ZF) 1.11.11 on Fedora 16/15/14, CentOS 6.2/6.1/6/5.7 and Red Hat (RHEL) 6.2/6.1/6/5.7. This guide also works with older Fedora releases, like Fedora 13/12/11 and also with older CentOS/Red Hat RHEL 5 releases. I use Remi repository here because it’s updated more frequently than example Fedora’s own repositories.

What is Zend Framework?

Zend Framework is a simple, straightforward, open-source software framework for PHP 5 designed to eliminate the tedious details of coding and let you focus on the big picture. Its strength is in its highly-modular MVC design, making your code more reusable and easier to maintain.

1. Install Needed Web and Database Servers

1.1 Install Install Apache (httpd) and PHP 5.3 on Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL)

3.2 Create new zend project

## Change to web directory ##
cd /var/www/html

zf create project test-project
Creating project at /var/www/html/test-project
Note: This command created a web project, for more information setting up your VHOST, please see docs/README

3.3 Create Link (symlink) / Copy Zend directory to your project directory

cd /var/www/html/test-project/library
 
## Symlink Zend Framework on library path ##
ln -s /usr/share/php/Zend .
 
## OR ##
 
## Copy Zend Framework on library path ##
cp -R /usr/share/php/Zend .

Note: If you use symlink method then Zend Framework is updated automatically all your projects with yum update.

3.4 Check test-project directory content

Should look like following (check also library/Zend):

test-project
|-- application
|   |-- Bootstrap.php
|   |-- configs
|   |   `-- application.ini
|   |-- controllers
|   |   |-- ErrorController.php

|           |-- error
|           |   `-- error.phtml
|           `-- index
|               `-- index.phtml
|-- docs
|   `-- README.txt
|-- library
|   `-- Zend -> /usr/share/php/Zend
|-- public
|   `-- index.php
`-- tests
    |-- application
    |   `-- bootstrap.php
    |-- library
    |   `-- bootstrap.php
    `-- phpunit.xml
 
16 directories, 11 files

3.5 Check index page on browser

Open following url http://localhost/test-project/public/ on your browser.

  Hi Tusar,
  
  It should work, try to run yum update first?
  
  Then please post output of following command:
  
  yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=remi list available |grep Zend

I just did the following:

Download Zend tar.gz from http://framework.zend.com/download/gdata

Extract (tar -zxvf Zend*.tgz)
mv ./ZendGdata-1.11.9/library/Zend /usr/share/php/
chmod -R apache:apache /usr/share/php/Zend

worked for me.

I have followed this to the letter. But when I run any zf command, i get a ZF error saying path not found. I have triple checked and added the path to my include_path but still it wound work.

How about a tutorial on how to install both zend framework and nginx?
Keep up the good work.

hi,
After creating new project i got this error :
PHPUnit was not found in your include_path, therefore no testing actions will be created.

Can you explain me about this!!!!
Thank u

  Hi rizvan,
  
  It’s just notice that you don’t have PHPUnit on path / installed. Do you have php-ZendFramework-tests package installed?

HI, i’ve tried to install zend framework following this tutorial on a Centos 5 and it fuck up my mysql…. now have 4 clients production sites down!!

I have only ran 2 lines:

## Remi Dependency on CentOS 5 and Red Hat (RHEL) 5 ##
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

## CentOS 5 and Red Hat (RHEL) 5 ##
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm

After this the normal :

yum –enablerepo=remi install php-ZendFramework

For some reason this lines include and update of mysql and now non of the sites can connect with mysql… the message says

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2) in lock_may_be_available() (line 165 of /var/www/vhosts/baetica.es/httpdocs/includes/lock.inc).

I have checked this file ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ and is missing, and the “unwanted installation” of mysql did include a nice present… a new file my.cnf.rpmnew and some other files in this folder ending with .rpmnew
Now my mysql server do not even start.
Any help? I’m desperate!!

  Hi Beto,
  
  First of all, it’s very important check what is really happening, when you run any command at production server as root user. Normally best way is run test server and test changes there before you run any commands on production server and if you don’t want to run test server then full backups before changes are good choice.
  
  Then your problem.
  
  Is MySQL server running at all?
  
  service mysqld status
  
  Could you connect to MySQL server on locally with mysql client using same hostname, username, password and dbname as your sites?
  
  Could you connect to MySQL using ip 127.0.0.1 instead localhost?
