Installation ============================= For full installation instructions please refer to the Zend Server Installation Guide, available at: http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/resourcesIf you have installed Zend Server 5.0 beta, please remove it before installing this version. Upgrading from the beta version is not supported and will not work.=============================5.

Resolved issues =============================* XMLWriter extension now properly handles php://output stream [35673]* Event notification email messages sent by Zend Monitor now contain complete event information and are fully compatible with RFC-2822 [33359]* Fixes in MySQL IBMDB2i Storage Engine for better IBM i interoperability: - Force UPPER case when installed in IFS case insensitive file system (ie. Zend default install is case insensitive /usr/local/mysql) - Add support for zoned decimal like mysql numeric(12,2). Please follow these instructions to install this MySQL IBMDB2i update: - Stop MySQL daemon - Rename /usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin/ha_ibmdb2i.so.0.0.0 to ha_ibmdb2i.so.0.0.0_old - Copy /usr/local/zendsvr/bin/ha_ibmdb2i.so.0.0.0 to /usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin Note: If the user wants to regain full control over MySql created UPPER/"lower" case, the entire Zend MySql installation must be moved to a case sensitive IFS file system (ie. start with /QOpenSys/).============================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. Upgrade and Installation issues -------------------------------* After the PTF upgrade from Zend Server 5.1, user should use the following commands to control the Easycom i5 toolkit job: Start: ZENDSVR/ZCCSTREACD LIB(ZENDSVR) Stop: ZENDSVR/ZCCENDEACD NOTE: the Easycom i5 toolkit job (if installed) starts automatically as part of Zend Server subsystem.* After the PTF upgrade add the new ToolkitAPI directory path to PHP.INI file: include_path = ".:/usr/local/zendsvr/share/ZendFramework/library:/usr/local/zendsvr/share/pear:/usr/local/ZendSvr/share/ToolkitApi"* After the PTF upgrade all configuration files from the previous version are saved in the following folder: in PHP 5.2 package - /usr/local/zendsvr/etc_4ZC0005 in PHP 5.3 package - /usr/local/zendsvr/etc_4ZC0006* After the PTF upgrade the 5250 Bridge configuration file from the previous version saved as: in PHP 5.2 package - /usr/local/zendsvr/5250/etc/Brdg5250.ini_4ZC0005 in PHP 5.3 package - /usr/local/zendsvr/5250/etc/Brdg5250.ini_4ZC0006* After the PTF upgrade the 5250 Bridge APIs using XMLSERVICE Toolkit is located in the following location: /usr/local/zendsvr/5250_560.tar * After the PTF upgrade the Apache configuration file from the previous version saved as: in PHP 5.2 package - /www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf_4ZC0005 in PHP 5.3 package - /www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf_4ZC0006* After removing Zend Server 5.6 PTF, user needs to adjust file permissions on /www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf before starting Apache web server using the following commands: CHGOWN OBJ('/www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf') NEWOWN(QTMHHTTP) CHGAUT OBJ('/www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*EXCLUDE) OBJAUT(*NONE) CHGAUT OBJ('/www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf') USER(QTMHHTTP) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL) * After upgrade from Zend Server 5.0.2 the Server Setup > Extensions page in GUI may display two entries for Easycom extension, and one of them in error state. This is presentation only issue and doesn't affect functionality of Zend Server GUI nor Easycom extension [4960]. =============================9.
