Question

I have just set up a completely new Symfony 1.4 project and designed the schema but unfortunately I can’t build the schema.

I having some trouble with the symfony command php symfony propel:build --all --no-confirmation.

Unfortunately it leaves a rather cryptic error message php symfony propel:build --all --no-confirmation does anyone know what is causing this error and how to correct it? Google turns up some polish websites that (even with translate) I cannot understand!

Many thanks!

Damn, I’ve answered my own question after some more thought:

I am using Xampp on OSX 10.6. The problem is it was executing the wrong php binary.

$ php symfony propel:insert-sql

would call the php binary in /usr/bin/ not the one in

/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/ which is what I wanted in the first place

The command $ php is running the wrong PHP (OSX’s default PHP).

To resolve this problem I:

Went in /usr/bin and renamed

php to php_old
phpize to phpize_old 
php-config to php-config_old

Then, make symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php-config php-config
sudo ln -s /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php php
sudo ln -s /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/phpize phpize

Hope this is of use to someone else stuck!
