Copy Applications and Other Content to Zend Server 9, 2018 or 20182019
The simplest installations typically have PHP scripts and other content in the /htdocs directory for the Apache instance. This content can simply be copied to the new /htdocs folder.
...
You should now be able to execute your /htdocs scripts in Zend Server 9, 2018 or 2019 by changing the port. For example, if you had a script '/www/zendsvr/htdocs/hello.php', using Zend Server 8 you could run it in your browser at this address:

If you have any deployed Virtual Hosts, Libraries, and/or Applications in Zend Server 8, simply deploy them in Zend Server 9, 2018 or 2019 using the User Interface.

| If any of your Virtual Hosts are using ports other than the defaults, remember they cannot use the same port while both Zend Server 8 and Zend Server 9 are active.

Zend Server does not support any Apache instances other than the default (ZENDPHP7 for ZS 9, 2018 or 2019 and ZENDSVR6 for ZS 8). We do have customers who have implemented additional Apache instances by adding a FastCGI configuration to these other instances. If you have any such instances, you can redirect them to PHP 7 by changing any occurrences of '/zendsvr6' to '/zendphp7' in the fastcgi.conf for that instance. However, you might need to do other things, and it is easy to mess this file up, so please be careful. This activity is not covered under your Zend Support subscription, so please be sure you know what you are doing, or have whoever set this up for you in the first place come back and make the needed changes.

Here are the links:
