Linux Mint 14 installing Zend Server 5.6

Today I've encountered an issue that Zend does not support Linux Mint and apparently an easy fix is to find the name of your distros and place it into the list of accepted distros.

By reading the following you acknowledged that I'm not responsible for any damages, system failures and or any other weirdness that might happen in a near or distant future.

Find your linux distro


Open terminal and type in the following command
cat /etc/issue
Or you can find it in the Operating System under System information.

Add the distro to the installation file

Simply double click the install_zs.sh file, when prompted just click display. Now you will see SUPPORTED_OS='All distros but yours' Simply add a pipe delimiter and the name of your distro.

e.g. SUPPORTED_OS='Linux Mint 14 Nadia| rest of the jargon... '
If you wish to vi or nano it fill free to do that also via terminal, just go with what floats your boat. At this point in terminal simply just run the script (sudo ./install_zs.sh (version) (community edition i.e. free))
