Creating website using Zend Frame work

Question

I have installed zend server on my local system.I created one project folder using this command line argument

zf create project quickstart

The project folder is created on C:\Program Files\Zend. How i can run the project in browser. http://localhost/zend/

Answer 1

if you create a simple zend framework with zend studio (it creates all necessary files).

put it in your server folder (htdocs) und run it with localhost/project/public/index.php

You don't need the zend server to build/run zend Projects.

Just Download mix or max Zend Framework package and you can start.

Answer 2

I suggest not to use a subfolder or you'll have problems with URLs. Create a virtual host on you local apache ! it's by far the best solution !

look here http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/ download the PDF, at the end of page 3 there is the guide to configure the virtualhost

Briefly, add this to apache conf file

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName zf-tutorial.localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/zf-tutorial/public
<Directory "/var/www/html/zf-tutorial/public">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

where /var/www/html/zf-tutorial/public is the path to the index.php (inside public folder of the zend project) If you are using windows, use c:/www/etc...

then edit hosts file (linux: /etc/hosts) and add the line

127.1.0.1 zf-tutorial

restart apache and networking daemon (if you are using windows, just restart local apache)

point the browser to

http://zf-tutorial
