Re: Upgrade Zend from 5.1.1 to 8.5

It looks like you have the upgrade straightened out, but if not, here’s our page of Zend Server 9 (PHP 7) upgrade tips that Jon alluded to:

installing a 2nd verson of PHP is pretty easy. Each install is in a
separate library, subsystem, IFS folders. So there is no conflict.

There are issues with authority to the php folder in the www folder. But
that is just a matter of granting authority.

and there probably are PHP.INI config changes in the version 5 PHP you want
to apply to the new install. To do that you can just print both versions
of the PHP.INI file and compare the settings.

If cutting over to the new server means setting the HTTP port to that of
the PHP 5 server, that can be done by printing the httpd.conf files of
each server and comparing them.

I find the zend.com <http://zend.com/> web pages to be too difficult for my IBM i brain to
navigate.

I was ultimately able to download Zend Server for IBM i 8.5 from ESS.
The path is 5770-SS1 hide/show > 07.03.00 5837:i7.3 B_GROUP1 hide/show

Is there documentation on upgrading this?
Google found an IBM i installation guide page
http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Server-8.5-IBMi/Content/ <http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Server-8.5-IBMi/Content/>
i5_installation_guide.htm
but there's nothing about moving from a prior version. The archives
here don't seem to threads on upgrading that I could find by searching
for PHP or ZEND.
