Zend Framework Error: Failed opening required 'Zend/Application.php'

Question

I get the following error when I try to run the project created by Zend Framework. Its looking for Zend/Application.php and that is available in the directory that is in my include_path. I do have read permissions on the directory.

PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Zend/Application.php' (include_path='/var/www/vhosts/moderncloud.net/om/library:.:/var/www/vhosts/moderncloud.net/om /library:') in /var/www/vhosts/moderncloud.net/om/public/index.php on line 24

<?php


// Define path to application directory
//defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
//    || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));

defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
    || define('APPLICATION_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application');

// Define application environment
defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
    || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'production'));


// Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    ('/var/www/vhosts/moderncloud.net/om/library'),
    get_include_path(),
)));


/** Zend_Application */
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';

// Create application, bootstrap, and run
$application = new Zend_Application(
    APPLICATION_ENV,
    APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
$application->bootstrap()
            ->run();

SOLUTION:

I found it myself today. Its a problem with the option "php_admin_value open_basedir" in my httpd configuration. I set it to none and it started working. Alternatively, I guess I can append the Zend library directory to the open_basedir option in my web server configuration instead of setting it to none.

Can you try replacing:

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    ('/var/www/vhosts/moderncloud.net/om/library'),
    get_include_path(),
)));

with

$siteRootDir = dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

set_include_path(
    $siteRootDir . '/library' . PATH_SEPARATOR 
    . $siteRootDir . '/application' . PATH_SEPARATOR 
    . get_include_path()
);

Hope it works for you

If possible, remove the existing zend framework installation and install ZF using PEAR. It will be easier to update later on:

 pear channel-discover zend.googlecode.com/svn
 pear install zend/zend

It will also use PEAR's include_path, so it should solve your problem.

If you can't use pear, try to use relative path with your include path:

 // Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
    get_include_path(),
)));

Answer 3

This problem generated due to :

1. Inside Public folder in index.php file.

or

2. Inside library folder :- Just check in library folder there is a folder of Zend present in library folder or not.If not present zend folder then download from zend framework and save in library folder.

=> In index.php copy the following code and replace it.

<?php

 // Define path to application directory

 defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
|| define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/application'));


 // Define application environment
 defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
 || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'production'));  

 // Ensure library/ is on include_path
 set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
 realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
 get_include_path(),
 )));

  /** Zend_Application */
  //require_once 'Zend/Application.php';
  require_once 'library/Zend/Application.php';




  // Create application, bootstrap, and run
 $application = new Zend_Application(
 APPLICATION_ENV,
 APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
      );
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     $application->bootstrap()
        ->run();
