=============================
7. Resolved issues
=============================


=============================
8. Known Issues
=============================
The following issues were known to the Zend development team at the time of the release:

GUI Issues
----------
* The new features added to the .ini file format in PHP 5.3 are not presently supported by the GUI page managing the .ini directives. If you use 5.3-format features of .ini files, it is strongly recommended that you only modify the .ini directives by manually editing the appropriate files. Use of the Zend Server GUI when any .ini files contain 5.3-format sections may result in unexpected behavior in those .ini files.

Installation and Upgrade issues
-------------------------------

* When upgrading Zend Server SLES 11.x , some php extensions might be left with wrong permissions - this behavior will be noticed when trying to turn on/off an extension from the ZS GUI.
  
  Workarouds:
  
  1. Perform the upgrade in 2 steps zypper update 'php-5.3*' zypper update '*zend*'

  2. Post-install:
      chgrp zend -R /usr/local/zend/etc
    chmod 664 /usr/local/zend/etc/conf.d/*.ini

* On Windows, an unattended upgrade of Zend Server 5.x will not work if installed on top of IIS. Regular, non-silent, upgrade will work, as well as unattended upgrades if installed on top of Apache.

* Switching between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 or from Zend Server CE to Zend Server packages on SUSE based distributions will cause conflicting error messages to appear, and may fail. In this case it is recommended to uninstall the old packages before installing the new packages.

* When upgrading from Zend Server 5.1 on SLES 10.x using zypper package manager, the package php-5.x-xmlwriter-zend-server is reported as "locked". 
  Please select the "unlock" option presented by zypper for the upgrade procedure to complete successfully.

* The Zend Server Cluster Manager package may fail to upgrade on SUSE-based distributions using command "zypper upgrade zend-server-cluster-manager".
  A workaround is to use alternative commands to upgrade the package:
    - Use the "zypper upgrade" command (may also update system packages)
    - Install and use the "yum" package management utility
    - Manually download the package and upgrade it from a local drive

* Zend Server installation on openSUSE/SLES system may fail because of dependency issues with Apache web server package. As a workaround, invoke Zend Server installation again or install Apache web server package prior to to installing Zend Server.

* LDAPS and LDAP-TLS connections are not supported on Fedora Linux. On SLES/RHEL/CentOS systems LDAPS and LDAP-TLS connections may not work immediately after installation, until Apache web server is restarted. 

* Zend Data Cache and Page Cache components may report an error after upgrading Zend Server cluster on Windows. Click "reconfigure" link from the Cluster Setup screen and restart PHP to resolve this issue.

* On Windows XP 64-bit edition and Windows Vista Home Edition, Zend Server 5.x can only be installed with an Apache web server.


Other Issues
------------ 
* On Windows XP and Windows 2003, Optimizer+ error messages may sometimes be reported in the Event Viewer. In most cases these messages do not affect Zend Server's functionality and performance, however under rare circumstances they indicate that Optimizer+ was unable to start due to an address conflict.

  For a workaround, refer to the Zend Knowledgebase

* An error in the SOAP extension causes PHP to crash if date.timezone is not set. For a workaround, refer to the Zend Knowledgebase

* After disconnecting Zend Server on Windows from a cluster, it is recommended to restart the Apache webserver and all Zend Server services, in order to resume proper operation of Zend Deployment.

* MongoDB extension crashes when IBM_DB2 extension is enabled and used.
