I pushed out new quickstart application archives late this past week,
but the narrative on the site has not yet been updated to reflect the
code (we'll be updating for the 1.10.1 release on Tuesday).
The code _does_ work with 1.10 (I actually rewrite the app from scratch
with 1.10 to test), but, as noted, the site itself is not reflecting the
archive's structure. In the new content, which you can review from
subversion, we now use capabilities such as "zf enable layout" and "zf
configure db-adapter" -- 1.10 has actually helped to streamline the
quick start guide tremendously.
One thing you can and should do: in your vhost definition, add the
following line:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
This will ensure that display_errors will be turned on, as well as some
extra functionality in the ErrorController and its views, which will
help you debug.
