Updates

The Updates screen provides a view of available Updates based on your Zend Support Network registration information.

A color-coded legend indicates the status of each Update. (This will only be available if you have configured your Zend Support Network login details. See below.)

Control Center Tab - Updates

To refresh the view and check for more Updates from the Zend Support Network, click the "Check Updates" button

, located in the top-right corner of the page.

If Updates are available, a message will be displayed at the top of the screen saying 'Update Zend Core.'

Available Updates can be downloaded and installed automatically using the Zend Updater.

See the 'Updating Zend Core' chapter for more on how to install Updates.

Note:

You must be registered for a Zend Support Subscription (Silver, Gold or Platinum) in order to have access to Updates.

If your Zend Core Support Subscription User ID and Password have not been configured in Zend Core, you will receive an error message.

For more on Zend Support Subscriptions, and to register, see the Zend Core Support page at http://www.zend.com/en/products/core/support.

To configure your Zend (Network) Support Subscription User ID and Password:

Open the Zend Updater.

By default, this is located in:
Linux/Unix/Mac: /usr/local/Zend/Core/setup/ZendUpdater
Windows: Start | All Programs | Zend Core v2.5 | Zend Updater.
Select Update Zend Core.
Select Configure Zend Network Settings.
Select Change Zend Network User ID / Password.
Enter the new User ID / Password and click OK.

Click OK.
Click Exit until you have exited the Zend Updater.
Restart the web server in order for your changes to take effect.

To restart your web server:

Under Windows Vista, you must restart the server from your Services Manager.
Under Linux/Unix:
Click the Restart Server button, found in the top-right of the Zend Core Administration GUI.

Secure Environments

The automatic update option is available for users that have a direct internet connection, or that can access the internet through a proxy server. Subscribed users working in a secure environment can download Zend Update Packages containing all pertinent Updates from the Zend Update site (http://www.zend.com/en/core/network/updates).

See the Updating Offline section in the Updating Zend Core' chapter for more on how to install Updates in an offline environment.
