Configuring For Zend Framework

I’m trying to configure Bitnami WampStack to perform the Zend QuickStart Tutorial:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Official+ZF+QuickStart

I can’t do it. I’m getting this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception’ with message ‘SQLSTATE28000 Access denied for user ’...

I’ve already overcome a different error by enabling PDO (for Windows) as instructed here:
http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/pdo.installation.php

I found these instructions for installing Zend, but can’t figure out how to relate to Bitnami:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Installing+Zend+Framework+on+Windows

How can I configure Bitnami WampStack to work with the Zend framework?

Hi Ed,

I’m afraid we have never tried to install Zend on top of our stacks, but that error seems like a MySQL permission issue to me. I haven’t been able to find in the links provided how to do it, but you will probably need to specify the user who will access the database somewhere.

Cheers

The error was more serious than you think :)

Not only did I not have permission to access the mysql table, I hadn’t even made the table! Sorry to bother you.

Anyway, I was able to get Zend working with Bitnami Wampstack and complete the official Zend Quickstart Guide:

http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Official+ZF+QuickStart

The only modifications I had to make to the Bitnami installation was to enable some (pdo) lines in the php.ini as instructed here (under the section called “Windows users running PHP 5.1.0 and up”:
http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/pdo.installation.php

To really get it working, I followed the advice from this comment on the Zend QuickStart (modified to work with Bitnami):

...download the source code from the ‘this archive’ link near the beginning and put it in your document root directory (e.g., /htdocs/quickstart/...). Then create a MySQL database [use Bitnami PHPmyAdmin] named ‘quickstart’. In the database make a table named ‘comments’ with 2 fields – comment_id (int with auto_increment) and comments (medium_text). Then edit the /quickstart/application/config/quickstart.ini file to use the MySQL name, username [my Bitnami used ‘root’] and password for the MySQL database that you just created [same as the Bitnami MySQL password entered during Bitnami installation]...
