Install Zendframework 2 on Wamp for Windows

Install Zendframework 2 on Wamp for Windows

Lets get started!

1. Download the entire zip file from https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.

2. Unzip it as a folder in C:/wamp64/www/ [You can replace it with the location of wamp folder as on your PC]

3. Rename the folder to the name of your choice. I renamed it to 'onlinetest'.

4. Update httpd.conf located at C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\conf\:
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf 

i.e. uncomment Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf 

5.  Add following lines to httpd-vhosts.conf located at C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\conf\extra\:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/onlinetest/public"
    ServerName onlinetest.localhost
    <Directory "c:/wamp64/www/onlinetest/public">
        Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

6. Open Notepad.exe as administrator and update the file:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

 Please replace "onlinetest" with the foldername you have renamed to in Step 3.

7. Now, restart Wamp and launch the url as: http://onlinetest.localhost/

The webpage will list few fatal and run time errors. To fix that, perform the following steps:

 

Open a cmd window and execute the following command:

C:\> cd wamp64/www/onlinetest/

C:\wamp64\www\onlinetest>c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.25/php.exe composer.phar self-update

Ensure that composer.phar is present in the current working directory.  In that case, it will display the message:

You are already using composer version 1.8.4 (stable channel).

Then, execute the following command:

C:\wamp64\www\onlinetest>c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.25/php.exe composer.phar install

Please select option as no for default installation.

Once the installation is complete, refresh the  http://onlinetest.localhost/

Voila! You should see the homepage:
