Unable to start Zend2 skeleton app

Question

I have a xampp serwer on windows XP: Apache 2.4.3 PHP 5.4.7

and I try to start learning Zend2.

I downloaded skeleton app: https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication and run from cmd:

php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install

(not that I had to give a full link to php like C:\xxx\php.exe - I don't know why, I have php in my enviromental variables). It went ok - no errors.

I added this code to httpd-vhosts.conf :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
    DocumentRoot /zf2-tutorial/public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory /zf2-tutorial/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I also added this line to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1               zf2-tutorial.localhost localhost

When I run

http://zf2-tutorial.localhost

in the browser I get "Permission denied"

When I try

http://localhost/zf2-tutorial/public/

I get very long php error

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend\ServiceManager\Exception\InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Provided abstract factory must be the class name of an abstract factory or an instance of an AbstractFactoryInterface.' in C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2-tutorial\vendor\zendframework\zendframework\library\Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager.php:302 ...........

I figure sth is wrong with serwer since I get "Permission denied". What I am doing wrong? Thx in advance.

BIg Thanx Everyone. My final config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/zf2-tutorial/public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/zf2-tutorial/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

127.0.0.1               zf2-tutorial.localhost

Works fine on: http://zf2-tutorial.localhost/

Thanx. This solved the problem with starting the skeleton app but I can only run it on `http://localhost/zf2-tutorial/public/` any idea why the vhosts don't work for `http://zf2-tutorial.localhost` — baron_bartek, May 04 '13 at 14:01
I'm facing the same issue. But it appears to be a bug, found this https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/issues/4403 on the github issue tracker for zf2 (comment from weierophinney) We'll just have to wait for a fix, I'm afraid. — Sam, May 06 '13 at 06:01

Your hosts file is incorrect. Instead of:

127.0.0.1               zf2-tutorial.localhost localhost

Remove the last "localhost", so you get:

127.0.0.1               zf2-tutorial.localhost

Edit: Another thing I just noticed is your DocumentRoot: this should be the fully qualified path to your document root: i.e. C:/www/zf-tutorial/public. Note that you should use forward slashes for directory separators. Use the same path in your Directory configuration to make sure that access is allowed to that directory.

Thank you for reply. Unfortunatelly it didn't work. Now I get permission denied on both `http://zf2-tutorial.localhost` and `http://localhost/zf2-tutorial/public/` – baron_bartek May 04 '13 at 08:09

It seems you are using Windows, so your vhost configuration should contains Windows alike path to your project. Are you sure that you have valid path to php\bin in your %PATH%?

> echo %PATH%

I am using XAMPP on Windows 7. Here is my vhost configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ##ServerAdmin postmaster@dummy-host2.localhost
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/projects/zf2-tutorial/public"
    ServerName zf2.tutorial
    ##ServerAlias www.dummy-host2.localhost
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory C:/xampp/projects/zf2-tutorial/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog "logs/zf2.tutorial-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/zf2.tutorial-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

This one is essential (probably also in your case):

    <Directory C:/xampp/projects/zf2-tutorial/public>
        # ...
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
