I am just learning Zend Framework. I created a simple Zend_Form and when I submitted the form I got following error:

An error occurred
Application error
Exce         


        

Answer 1

you can put in .htaccess

SetEnv TEMP /tmp

Answer 2

I think this solve the problem , it solved it for me

Zend_Date::setOptions(array('cache' => $cache)); // Active aussi pour Zend_Locale
Zend_Translate::setCache($cache);

add it after setting your cache in the bootstrap.php

Answer 3

Turn off/disable cache :) Why do you use it for simple app, when learning? There are more important things to learn ;)

Answer 4

I was using 'memcached' instead of 'File', so my problem was a little bit different. I solved this by using:

        $registry = Zend_Registry::getInstance ();
        $frontendOptions =
        array (
            'lifetime' => APPLICATION_ENV == 'development' ? '10' : '3600', 
            'automatic_serialization' => true
        );


    $backendOptions = array(
                        'servers' => array( array(
                            'host' => APPLICATION_ENV == 'development' ? '***' : '***', 
                            'port' => '***'
                        ) ),
                        'compression' => true
    );

    $cache = Zend_Cache::factory ( 'Core', 'Memcached', $frontendOptions, $backendOptions );

// Below is the fix for the problem! It appears that some validators / translates are caching
Zend_Locale::setCache($cache);
Zend_Translate::setCache($cache);

Answer 5

Well, it says

"Please specify a cache_dir manually"

So do that.

Example from Reference Guide:

$frontendOptions = array(
   'lifetime' => 7200, // cache lifetime of 2 hours
   'automatic_serialization' => true
);

$backendOptions = array(
    'cache_dir' => '/path/to/cache' // Directory where to put the cache files
);

// getting a Zend_Cache_Core object
$cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Core',
                             'File',
                             $frontendOptions,
                             $backendOptions);

Equivalent when using the Cache Resource Plugin:

resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.name = Core
resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.customFrontendNaming = false
resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.options.lifetime = 7200
resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.options.automatic_serialization = true

resources.cachemanager.database.backend.name = File
resources.cachemanager.database.backend.customBackendNaming = false
resources.cachemanager.database.backend.options.cache_dir = "/path/to/cache"
resources.cachemanager.database.frontendBackendAutoload = false

Answer 6

Something like this should be helpful:

$_SERVER['TEMP'] =  realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/tmp');
