Zend command line tool action error

Question

I just managed to create a project using Zend_Tool, but I am stuck on "second step" - enabling layout.

zf enable layout

leads to:

An Error Has Occurred
Action 'enable' is not a valid action.

This is my folder structure:

|--library
|  |--Zend         //framework classes in this folder
|
|--bin             //command line tool folder
|  --zf.sh
|  --zf.php
|  --zf.exe
|
|--zend_test       //my test project folder
|  |--application
|  |--library
|  |  --Zend       //symlink to ../../library/Zend
|  |--public
|  |--tests

The library folder is in my include_path. Checked with:

php -i | grep include_path

Note that I was able to create the project with zf create project zend_test and other actions like show work.

There are some ppl on the official Zend Framework forum with same problem, but there are no answers.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

I solved the problem.

It was coincidence, what led to this error. At first I was unable to even run the tool because I couldn't set include_path (because of permissions). After that there was a problem with (most likely) out-of-date php. (original question is here )

After few hours of headache I deleted the tool and left ZF for a while. Two days ago I wanted to try that on updated server, but coulnd't find the tool so I downloaded it again. Unfortunatelly (for me) Zend released new version of framework and I extracted only the tool.

Briefly
There was a mismatch in versions of the tool ( bin ) and the framework ( library ) or possibly the library folder was corrupted.

Solution
Download and extract the whole ZF again to make sure the versions match and files are not corrupted. Also double check the include_path with php -i | grep include_path php -i | grep include_path

Answer 2

I've download zf.bat from

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/bin/

Revision 21133

This is the latest version, as my zend server... why can't I run commands such as:

zf enable layout

zf configure db-adapter

Answer 3

Heey,

I got exatly the same problem with XAMP.

It seems that Frankie-T's idea is good, because I renamed c:\\xampp\\php\\PEAR\\Zend to Zend_ and also c:\\xampp\\php\\zf.bat and c:\\xampp\\php\\zf.php to zf.bat_ zf.php_ .

Of course I have my ZF library downloaded to c:\\xampp\\htdocs\\zf\\ and my Path set to C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\zf\\bin;

Now if I run the folloving command, I get this:

C:\xampp\htdocs\login>zf show version
Zend Framework Version: 1.10.5

Now I have zf enable layout as well.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Zend also comes with XAMPP package. So, it is generally becoming a version mismatch. XAMPP's Zend version may be older. So, just rename or delete the Zend folder in \\xampp\\php\\PEAR. and it will start working.

Answer 5

I got the same problem with a xampp 1.7.3 setup. I downloaded the whole Framework again, checked the entries in PATH. The problem stayed the same.

Another Stack Overflow question brought the solution for me, as I encountered another strange behavior of a version mismatch when typing "zf show version".

The problem comes with the xampp installation - it ships with an older version of zend.

You need to override the files in XAMPP/php/PEAR/zend with the ones from the new library you just downloaded.

Hope this helps.
