Should you need to access it, the Zend Administration Interface is accessible at http://
localhost:10081, or you can always run /Applications/ZendServer. The first time you use it you’ll
be asked to create a password and choose whether to opt into receiving the newsletter.
Uninstalling
Should you encounter any problems, or decide for any other reason to uninstall the
program, issue the following commands to totally remove it, along with any files you’ve
modified or added to the installation:
/usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh stop
rm -rf /usr/local/zend
Mac OS X 10.3
Older Macs will generally use the Power PC processor and are therefore incompatible with
Zend Server CE. Also, even if you have an Intel Mac, it still won’t work with Zend Server
CE unless it is running version 10.4 or higher of OS X. An alternative setup is also available,
called MAMP, which will do the job for you, as long as you are running OS X 10.3. To install
it, enter o/en/downloads/ into your web browser and, on the right-hand side of
the screen, select either the Intel or the PowerPC installer. If you are in doubt as to which
processor your Mac uses, choose the Universal Binary (see Figure 1-25).

If you have difficulties accessing the mamp.info web site, you may wish to download
the installer from the Source Forge web site at />php?group_id=121134. The latest version (currently 1.7.2) will show by default, but just
click the link entitled “mamp” under the “Package” heading to see all previous ones. Next

click the 1.4 link to open up the i386, PPC, and Universal installers for version 1.4.1.
Once the approximately 110MB download is complete, unarchive the new zip file using
Stuffit Expander (or a similar utility) to create a disk image with the file extension .dmg.
Double-click the extracted disk image to mount it, and a window will open up in which you
must drag and drop the large MAMP icon into the Applications folder alias (see Figure 1-26).
You can now double-click the MAMP program within the Applications/MAMP folder to
start the servers. Unless you configure your Mac to do this on each startup, you’ll have to
run the MAMP each time you intend to use it. Once it starts, wait a moment and the green
lights should appear for both the Apache and MySQL servers (see Figure 1-27).
Unfortunately, by default, MAMP doesn’t use standard ports, so you must perform a
final configuration task before the system is ready to use. To do this, click the Preferences
button in the MAMP window, followed by the Ports tab, and then change the Apache port
from 8888 to 80, and the MySQL port from 8889 to 3306. To do this, click Set To Default
Apache And MySQL Ports, and then click OK (see Figure 1-28). The two servers will then
automatically restart and you may be asked for your password. Once you’ve done this,
these preferences will stay in place until you change them.

Everything should now be fully installed, which you can verify by entering http://

localhost/MAMP into a web browser to call up the main configuration page (see Figure 1-29).
Document Root
The document root (the place where you should store your PHP and HTML files to make
them accessible to a web browser) is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/. If you find you cannot edit
or save files into it, you will need to modify the folder’s permission settings. By default,
there may not be an index.html file in it, so until you put something there, typing http://
localhost into your browser will simply call up a blank “Index of” directory listing, followed
by the server description.

Configuring Error Handling in Zend Server CE
Before you move onto the plug-ins, to ensure that PHP will report all errors in Zend
Server CE, you need to perform a final configuration step by going to one of http://localhost/
ZendServer on Windows, http://localhost/MAMP on a Mac, or http://localhost:10081 on Linux
and entering your password, then selecting Server Setup | Directives | Error Handling and
Logging and clicking the On check box for display_errors.
And Now You’re Set to Go
If you have successfully configured either Zend Server CE or MAMP, you’re now ready to
start incorporating the plug-ins from this book into PHP programs running on your web
development server. Using the advice given in the following chapter, you’ll learn how you
can type them in, copy and paste them, download them from the web site at http://pluginphp.
com, or simply include them with a PHP statement.
