Zend Framework tut problem..

[pixelsoul]

I am having trouble loading the Zend class.. i am using the tutorial here:
http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/

The index looks like this:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
set_include_path('.' . PATH_SEPARATOR . './library'
      . PATH_SEPARATOR . './application/models/'
      . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
include "Zend/Loader.php";
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Controller_Front');
// setup controller
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->throwExceptions(true);
$frontController->setControllerDirectory('./application/controllers');
// run!
$frontController->dispatch();

But i always get the error:

Warning: include(Zend/Loader.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/index.php on line 7

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Zend/Loader.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:./library:./application/models/:.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/index.php on line 7

Fatal error: Class 'Zend_Loader' not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/index.php on line 8

Even when i set the include path to absolute..??

When i change :

include "Zend/Loader.php"; 

To

include "library/Zend/Loader.php"; 

It does seem to find the file but i get a permission error?

Warning: include(library/Zend/Loader.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/index.php on line 7

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'library/Zend/Loader.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:./library:./application/models/:.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/index.php on line 7

Fatal error: Class 'Zend_Loader' not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/index.php on line 8

Anybody knows what else to try?

Where is Zend/Loader.php located on your system? Have you thought that if you told it to include the actual location of the file that it might just work?

Absolute paths begin with the root level, such as /home/username/www/file.php or c:/apache/htdocs/file.php

Oh yeah forgot i also tried putting the include path in the .htaccess didn't work either it does not find the file again

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* index.php
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off

php_value include_path .:/opt/lampp/htdocs/zf-tutorial/library

Apache doesnt have rights to read the Zend files. chmod 777 *.php in the Zend directory

Hmm even when i put all dirs and files on read / write / delete it still does not work.. also does should not be necesaary all other php apps work fine without chmodiing them to 777.

Hi Pixelsoul, I was just wondering if you ever got this problem sorted
