I'm trying to execute ZendSkeletonApplication example for frist time. I've acted pursuant this articles from official Zend site: http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/user-guide/skeleton-application.html
BUT
Why should I download again all dependecies (entire ZF2) via composer if I already downloaded it (ZF2) from Git as zip archive?
Or Does part with php composer doing anything else than downloading entire ZF2? (I've very slow connection so it's problem)
I still get this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'Unable to load ZF2. Run php composer.phar install or define a ZF2_PATH environment variable.'
My approach is following: (Using Win7, PHP 5.3.5)
I downloaded entire ZF2 and ZendSkeletonApplication from Git as zip archives.
I Unziped ZF2 to htdocs/ directory. (Now my path to the framework is: xampp/htdocs/ZendFramework-2.3.1/ )
I Unziped ZendSkeletonApplication to htdocs/ (Path location: xampp/htdocs/zf2-tutorial/ )
I checked presence of openssl extension. It's now enabled in php.ini
I added the Zend Framework’s library path to the PHP include_path in php.ini
( include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR; C:\xampp\htdocs\ZendFramework-2.3.1\library" )
Now, If I type: localhost/zf2-tutorial/public/ , I get FatalError as I mentioned above..
Need I setup some other settings in ZendSkeletonApplication? Is it possible to install dependencies via php composer from downloaded zip archive of ZF2? (No internet connection) ... If so, How can I setup the composer?
EDIT:
After XAMPP update (php 5.5) I was capable to successfuly access ZFSkeletonAppllication's introductory site (localhost/) after I set ZF2_PATH environment variable.
Ok, but unfortunately same FatalError still occur right when I got to the next chapter of ZF2 SkeletonApplication:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/user-guide/unit-testing.html
There, PHPUnit framework has been involved to ZF2 application. When I want to run phpunit I get same error as above:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'Unable to load ZF2. ....
I setuped ZF2_PATH environment variable in httpd.conf to:
SetEnv ZF2_PATH c:/xampp/htdocs/ZendFramework-2.3.1/library
I really don't know what I can do now...
Thanks for help.
Chances are include_path not working. You need to debug it why. Otherwise you can set ZF2_PATH environment variable as error itself demanded. It is easy way as you may setup framework at one folder while just need to setup ZF2_PATH variable. For debug, how ZF2 autoloading works, check /init_autloader.php .
No need to using composer every time for project setup. I also found it very annoying in composer way to install every time ZF2.
