I'm trying to get started with Zend Framework and running into some
issues. I'mworking on a virtual machine with CentOS 5.3. It's running
PHP 5.3.0.
I've been following the instructions in the "Getting Started with Zend
Framework 1.9"found here: http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/
When I get to the point of testing Zend_Tool ("zf show version") I get
severalthousand lines of warnings about failed includes followed by the
version. For >instance:
I had the exact same problem on my Ubuntu system, and I think I solved it
more by luck than judgement. So after a lot of trial and error, I can't
remember *exactly* what the final answer was. However, this one was
certainly important:
-----
1. The PHP include path must point to a directory called
"ZendFramework/library", (and possibly also the one called "pear") which
could be almost anywhere, depending on how you downloaded the framework. I
eventually used synaptic to load the Zend Server Community edition, which
seemed to give me a nice clean installation. On my system this put in the
following line (or maybe I added it myself, I don't remember) into the
php.ini file:
include_path =
".:/usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/library:/usr/local/zend/share/pear"
The include_path is found in the php.ini file, which on my system is:
"/usr/local/zend/etc/php.ini"
------
2. I recursively changed the group of the directory /usr/local/zend and
all its sub-files and directories to be "www-data":
"chgrp -R www-data /usr/local/zend"
but I don't know if this actually made a difference. I also changed their
access permissions to 775, and put my own user into the www-data group, so
I wouldn't have to become root or sudo to access things there.
"chmod -R 775 /usr/local/zend",
"useradd -G www-data my_user_name". (please check the commands, I'm
working from memory here...)
This may have helped, because I was trying to create the project in my
home directory, using my own username, not sudo or root.)
-------
3. I put zf.sh and zf.php into "/usr/local/zend/bin", and changed .bashrc
to put this directory into my $PATH - perhaps the files were already
there, but putting them in the PATH probably helped. Also I created an
alias of "zf='zf.sh'" in my profile.
-------
Hope this helps, it's by no means an authoratitive answer, just some
haphazard things that eventually worked for me.
