To install Z-Push, download and unzip the tarball to /var/www, add the appropriate configuration to Apache and make sure the permissions are set as necessary. Detailed instructions are in the INSTALL file unpacked from the tarball. Quick steps are shown below.

You can test the installation by navigating to http://yourdomain.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync. You should be greeted by a request for your username and login and after successful authentication the following message.
Your device requested the Z-Push URL without the required GET parameters.
If you get that message then you're ready to configure your clients.
