I am trying to run (without succes) a zend framework project with portable wamp. (I’m having the same problem with the portable version of xampp.)
Usually I get error HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error), as well as
"There is no such file Zend/Application.php in public/index.php line 18 (require_once 'Zend/Application.php').
Without the portable version of wamp I have no problems. I have changed the DocumentRoot from www to public folder from my project in httpd.conf and the project runs well in the browser.
I tried to do the same thing within the portable version of wamp (and xampp) – no result. Unfortunately I can only install portable software on my computer from work, so I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me with this issue.
Portable or not it makes really no difference. You seems to forgot to tune your LAMP environment. Most likely your httpd got .htaccess handling restricted, or mod_rewrite is not enabled thus httpd fails while trying to parse your project’s .htaccess. Check your httpd’s error log and/or php error log.
