Re: ToolkitAPI shows as SYMLNK

For anyone that was following this link ...

While the install of Zendphp7completed and appeared to complete normally
there were some issues;

The directories for ToolKitAPI were showing as SYMLNK and the destination
of the link did not exist
Attempting to use the dashboard would hang after accepting the license
agreement and assigning default passwords
Starting the ZENDPHP7 subsystem the zend server jobs would not start

We identified that the reason the directories were missing was that the
type of compressed file that Zend uses had not been decompressed.
Further it was later identified this should have been completed as part of
the install.

Also by changing the job description for the auto-start job in the
ZENDPHP7 subsystem we identified that message queue QUSRSYS/ZENDADMIN was
missing. I think this was the main issue.

The subsystem jobs were able to be started manually from the ZSMENU.

After starting the jobs manually we were able to access the dashboard and
from there Applications ==> Libraries we observed that the compressed
directories were being decompressed.

We then created the message queue (mentioned above) and stopping and
starting the sub-system resulted in all jobs starting correctly.

So hopefully we do not find any other problems.

I would like to thank Stephanie Rabbani who without her help I would still
be trying to solve this problem. Thanks Steph!!

If you are using WRKLNK then change DETAIL to *EXTENDED

If you take an option 8 on the 7.2 box what does it show? On my 7.2
box it is a
SYMLNK also, but shows as DIR on the WRKLNK screen, but SYMLNK on the
8
screen.

How do I see the contents of the symbolic link ?

If I use option 5 against the SYMLNK I get message Object not found.
Object is /usr/local/zendphp7/share/ToolkitAPI.

If I look on a 7.2 box I have the following directories in
/usr/local/zendphp7/share
ToolkitAPI DIR
UserServer DIR
ZendFramework DIR
ZendFramework2 DIR

But on the 7.3 new install I have in /usr/local/zendphp7/share
ToolkitAPI SYMLNK
UserServer DIR
ZendFramework SYMLNK
ZendFramework2 SYMLNK

I do not think this is goint to work ?

Or am I totally missing something ?

Typically open source stuff that could be updated follows this
pattern.
I can't say definitively for PHP, but I can say things like node.js
and other
languages will have a symlink so that an update can change the
symlink
to a
new location or binary. That change is less invasive than
overlaying
an install
or changing PATH's. And, that usually give you the option to
quickly
change
something back by just changing the symlink.

Is there an issue with the Toolkit, or are you just curious?

I am setting up php on a 7.3 box for the first time.

I have installed Zendsvr7 and that completed normally.

I have installed xmlservice 1.9.9.3

When i look in /usr/local/zendphp7/share/

I expected to see a directory ToolKitAPI but it shows as a SYMLNK

The same for ZendFramework and ZendFramework2

Why is this so ?

Should I just delete these and copy from the directories from
another
system ?

Are these directories created as part of the Zend server install ?

Thank you in advance for any assistance
