hye There

First of all, i am new to this forum, i have a problem
with installing zend since i am new to zend framework,
actually, i am using windows xp and i am using xampp and i want to install zend

the thing that i implemented so far is:

1.Extracted zend folder and look for the library folder and copy the library folder
2. I stored the library folder under the path “c:\xampp\library\”
3. I looked to php folder which is one of the xampp folder, and i looked for php.ini files and i edited the path to include_path = “.;C:\xampp\php\pear\;c:\xampp\library\”
4. i tried to browse and i typed localhost/library which i thought it may show me the page of zend which unfortunately didnt show anything, it shows only not found ..

Here is the problems
1. where should i stored library folder?
2. where should i save the phpinfo.ini file? is it in httdoc or in the xampp folder?
3. what can i type to see whether the zend has been installed?
4. is there any other configuration i need to do?

I will be really greatful for you if you could help me out because i really need it badly

Can anybody help me Please... you help is much appreciated

Thank you Very much for the help in Advance

Regards

Well, you will need to create a virtual host for yoru Zend Framework application, in Windows XP you can do that by adding few lines to hosts and httpd.conf files.

C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\httpd.conf:

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName myproject
    DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\myproject"
</VirtualHost>

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts:

Code:

127.0.0.1    myproject    # my cool ZF project

Restart Apache afterwards, of course. Path to httpd.conf will be probably different on your system as you don't use WampServer.

Library folder can be virtually anywhere, just add it to include path (either by php.ini directive or just by using the set_include_path() PHP function to set the include path on the fly).

I have written an article for Zend Framework newbies a while ago. It's an older article but it should all still work even in the newest version of ZF. Check it out: Getting started with Zend Framework

Thank you very much for your reply and help... but i am still confused... how can i set the path? i set it like this

include_path = ".;C:\wamp\bin\php\pear\includes;C:\wamp\libra ry\

i am not sure about it coz i stored the library folder which contain zend folder inside it in the wamp folders...
