Here the short version:

1. Installation:

1.1 Define a repository by opening the following file: “/etc/apt/sources.list” and adding the line:

deb http://repos.zend.com/zend-server/deb server non-free

1.2 Add Zend’s repository public key by running:

wget http://repos.zend.com/deb/zend.key -O- |apt-key add -

If you are using sudo to run each command the next command requires using sudo following the ‘|’ (pipe) symbol as follows:

wget http://repos.zend.com/deb/zend.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -

1.3 To synchronize with Zend’s repository run:

aptitude update

1.4 Install Zend Server Community Edition with PHP 5.3:

aptitude install zend-server-ce-php-5.3

2. Use it:

https://SERVER:10082/ZendServer

First choose a password and continue.

Now you can upload your php files to your document root “/var/www” and access them via “http://SERVER” like an normal Apache2 + PHP setup.

3. Misc:

3.1 Editions
If you want to know something about the differences of the “Community Edition”, take a look at this page: http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/editions

3.2 Adding phpmyadmin to the Zend Server environment

aptitude install phpmyadmin-zend-server

If you get the following message:
“For security reasons, the link to the phpMyAdmin interface from Zend Server is locked for remote access and is only accessible from localhost.”

Do this modification:

sudo vim /usr/local/zend/gui/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd.conf

...
$HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "127.0.0.1" {
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/phpmyadmin/" {
url.access-deny = ( "*" )
server.errorfile-prefix = "//usr/local/zend/gui/lighttpd/share/lighttpd-custom-errors/errorcode-"
}
}
...

sudo /usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh restart
