To access the instance, you will need to navigate to the EC2 console and open your launched instance. Once health checks have passed, copy the public IP address in order to SSH into your launched instance. Ex SSH -i yourkeypair ec2-user@ip_address

All ZendPHP cloud images set up a default virtual host located in the directory /var/www . Users can upload a PHP application to that directory and immediately have a running web application.

Additionally, ZendPHP cloud images come with several scripts to allow you to switch PHP versions and manage virtual hosts and SSL details. These are all located in /usr/local/bin and MUST be run as root or via the sudo command.

Zend provides the following scripts: zendphp_credentials zendphp-vhost zendphp-switch

zendphp_credentials: On first invocation, this script requests credentials from the ZendPHP credentialing service. If successful, it then installs them such that your package manager uses them when retrieving ZendPHP packages. After a successful operation, run the command that updates your package manager's cache (e.g., apt-get update for DEB-based distributions and yum update for RPM-based distributions). On subsequent invocations, it renews your credentials for a period of one month. Important In most cases, you do not need to interact with this script. You need to run the script during initial provisioning and once every 4 weeks thereafter via a cronjob. If you need to use it manually, run zendphp_credentials help at the command line.

zendphp-vhost: The zendphp-vhost script allows you to add, rename, or remove virtual hosts. The script also fetches and configures a TLS certificate for the vhost via the Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority (CA). If the query fails, the script uses the self-signed localhost certificate.

Use zendphp-vhost (action) (vhost domain) (port) (options) (email)

Parameters
action: One of: info, add, remove, chgname, or chgport. vhost domain: Domain for which to create, modify, or remove a virtual host. port: If set, configures the virtual host to this port; otherwise sets the port to the default (80). options: One of http or https. This option also configures the port for http or https. If set to https the script retrieves the certificate from Let's Encrypt. email: Webmaster e-mail. If not set, the script uses the default webmaster@localhost.

Examples Show currently enabled vhosts: $ zendphp-vhost info

Create new vhost (use default parameters): $ zendphp-vhost add somehost.somedomain.com

Create new vhost (preconfigures port 443 and fetch certificate from Let's Encrypt CA): $ zendphp-vhost add somehost.somedomain.com 443 https webmaster@somedomain.com 

Change vhost name (also requests a new TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt and revokes/deletes the old one): $ zendphp-vhost chgname somehost.somedomain.com someotherhost.somedomain.com

Change vhost port to non-secure (non-ssl enabled) port: $ zendphp-vhost chgport somehost.somedomain.com 81 http

Change vhost port to secure (ssl) port (also runs certbot command to configure certificate): $ zendphp-vhost chgport somehost.somedomain.com 444 https

Remove virtual host (also asks whether to preserve or delete the document root directory as well as configuration files, and asks to revoke/delete the previously installed certificate):
$ zendphp-vhost remove somehost.somedomain.com

zendphp-switch: The zendphp-switch script allows you to switch between ZendPHP versions.

Use zendphp-switch (action) (version) (vhost domain)

Parameters
action: One of: to, off. version: PHP version (currently possible: 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 or 8.2) vhost domain: Virtual host you want to switch the PHP version on.

Examples Switch from current ZendPHP version to 7.4: $ zendphp-switch to 7.4 somehost.somedomain.com

Switch ZendPHP 7.4 FPM process off: $ zendphp-switch off 7.4
