Answer 3

You should open a cmd window and change directory to your project. You then need to type the following:

php composer.phar install

This will install all the library dependencies for the Zend Skeleton Application - ZF2 in this case.

Answer 4

1.Enable LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so from your apache

2.Enable extension=php_openssl.dll from your php.ini

3.Install Composer from http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#autoloading. There are instructions for both Linux and windows.

4.Download skeleton project from github.( https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication and click the “Zip” button) to your htdocs.

5.Go to the directory where you have just downloaded the skeleton project.

6.Run php composer.phar install.This will download all the dependencies.

7.Go to http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.2/en/user-guide/skeleton-application.html and create a virtual host accordingly.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
DocumentRoot /path/to/zf2-tutorial/public
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory /path/to/zf2-tutorial/public>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

8.Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows)or /etc/hosts(Linux) and add the following lines: 127.0.0.1 zf2-tutorial.localhost localhost

9.Go to http://zf2-tutorial.localhost/ and you should see the welcome page.

Answer 5

How about making it easier @Rob Allen? When answering, so that other reader can save 24 hours to 1 minute !! I tried to make it easier from your answer as below:

1) httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName site
 ServerAlias site
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/s/public
 <Directory /var/www/html/s/public>
    #AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
 </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

2) i did git clone git repo
$ ls
composer.json  composer.lock  composer.phar  config  data  db_bck  init_autoloader.php  LICENSE.txt  module  nbproject  public  README.md  vendor

3) I run and i get same error

4) I did now this

$ php composer.phar install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies from lock file

    Downloading: 100%

zendframework/zendframework suggests installing zendframework/zendservice-recaptcha (ZendService\ReCaptcha for rendering ReCaptchas in Zend\Captcha and/or Zend\Form)
Generating autoload files


5) It works now

Answer 6

As you have already downloaded the GIT file Below commands are for windows :

1) Go to the respective folder 2) run the command -> composer update 3) That should let you install and choose optional modules 4) Finally -> php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t .\public .\public\index.php

With this you should be able to access the index page at http://localhost:8080/
