Installing Zend Server CE on Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)

Posted on the January 24th, 2011 under Internet,Linux by Tohir

Spent the day trying to install Zend Server on Ubuntu (10.10), but ran into so much blockers, thought it would be worth a blog!

After following all the steps, I got hit with:

W: Failed to fetch http://repos.zend.com/deb/ce/dists/ce/Release
Unable to find expected entry  non-free/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Kept trying sudo-apt-get update whilst cursing Zend, and still the same.

Solution: Disable the sources repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.

#deb-src http://repos.zend.com/deb/ce ce non-free

Next, trying to install, and keep getting dependencies issues. There are two (old files) that need to be downloaded, and then everything works fine:

• libkrb53
• libmysqlclient15off

They were in older distributions, but no longer are!

Once those two files are manually installed (sudo dpkg -i), the rest is plain sailing.
