Extra notes

Upgrade from 2019.x.x to 2021.2.0 on RHEL8 may fail, reporting:

Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package liboci8-zend-11.2.0.4-8.x86_64

  • nothing provides libaio.so.1 needed by liboci8-zend-21.1.0.0-25.x86_64

To continue from such a situation, liboci8-zend package (new version) should be installed manually.

sudo yum install -y liboci8-zend

Then restart the upgrade sequence from the step (including) that caused the error (re-run repository installer or other method you have chosen for ZendServer upgrade).

Known problems (fix postponed)

  • php-fpm restart on Linux.

    Related to PHP version change through GUI. php-fpm processes do not restart automatically. As a workaround, php-fpm should be restarted manually from the console after switching PHP version:

    sudo /usr/local/zend/bin/php-fpm.sh restart

  • JobQueue misbehavior during DST change (DST end in October).

    Jobs scheduled during the hour of DST change get executed large number of times. No known easy workaround. One option is to temporarily disable specific jobs for the specific DST change time period.
