I installed zend framework 0.7 and its working fine. But now i would like to add a shoping cart under the

web_root/ directory so it would be web_root/shoppingcart/

but every time I go to my http://localhost/shoppingcart/ -> it redirects me back to index.php under web_root.

How can I fix this?

Hello,

I am not quite sure regarding this matter...

I don't have installed 0.7.0, my old sites are still under 0.6.0 (and i won't switch now cause i am afraid of potential compatibility problems) but using 0.6.0 i would simply put Zend.php into your localhost, and also Zend folder....

I think (but not sure), your problem has to do with:

Using Zend_Controller in subfolder

Check this tutorial to see if you can solve something...

Do you have mod_rewrite rules in effect?

You may need to append the file name to the URL to bypass them if they're in effect.

e.g. http://localhost/shoppingcart/index.php should work.

Can you give me a simple example?

is there some way to do this through Zend?
It seems like there should be a simple solution since this is such a common occurence to have a shopping cart installed in a different directory or a forum in a forum directory.

How can I fix this?

if it is a mod_rewrite rule then you would have to edit the rule as that cannot be changed from php

Well, my solution perhaps,
1. Copy your Shopping folder into App/Views to produce: App/Views/Shopping.
2. Create ShoppingIndex.php in the App/Controllers. with function indexAction() to render your 'Shopping/index.php'.
3. That's all.

I tried it based on your post, and it works.
Hope it helps

try putting an htaccess file in your shopping cart directory with this directive:

RewriteEngine off

if you cart requires htaccess then just add this to that file. if it requires mod rewrite then sorry!

That's a great idea, and it MUST work since it works for the basic folders like "public"
