what if my root directory is not /public but some other one ?

I tried it and made changes in the virtualhost and change the document root path and directory path to the folder I want my root to be but it is giving me error for some Zend/Loader.php is not found or something ....

can you help ?

@vaibhavcoder If it can't find Zend/Loader.php then your PHP Include path is wrong (The place you put the actual Zend Library and pointed php.ini to the Zend folder).

My Wamp folder is in D drive as i followed the steps you've shown. In the powershell it doesn't give the output likes yours...It just says php.exe not found! Please HELP!

[JREAMdesign]

@unikorndesigns You have to add the path to your PHP.EXE to your Environment Variables, just like you did with Zend Framework.

@SamSom40 @unikorndesigns @narekm11 Add also this path (C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5) -- [which is where the php.exe located]... add the the path to your Environment Variables Path.

@UltimaBigDaddy That was actually a good suggestion. That was all I needed to get things to work. Thanks to JREAMdesign too.

Hi, i followed all steps exactly...but in powershell am getting error....

PS C:\Users\RaMeSh> zf

'"php.exe"' is not recognized as

operable program or batch file.

@MrCotcac ls gives you the available Local Space (no need to type that)

[timekillerOE]

@bluestone01071 thanks, was searching

[MrCotcac]

Include "c:/wamp/alias/*"

[MrCotcac]

what did you type at 3:17 below cd workspace, is that ls? I typed ls but it doesn't work like yours. please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and I just realized that when you go to zendy/docs (or whatever your path is) there's a readme file which has some VHOST settings. You propably want to check those out as well. For the sake of knowledge if nothing.

Secondly, at the time I got an internal server error I noticed in my apache error log this entry "Invalid command 'RewriteEngine'. This means that you have to config your .htaccess file in you zendy public folder, or turn apache rewrite_module on. I prefer turning it on just because i'm not very keen to modify the files I got from Zend. I'm a beginner as you are and probaply there are some issues with my instructions as well. But still I hope it'll give you some directions at least.

I got an issue where both, my localhost and my 'zendy' gave me an internal server error. However, I solved to problem and hopefully it'll help some of you aswell. First, instead of configuring 'zendy' to use 127.0.0.1 which is a same as a localhost I just put it to 127.0.0.2 which means 'zendy' and a localhost have different addresses. Just to remember config all your files using 127.0.0.2 instead of 1 in case of zendy.
