I'm a newbie to Zend Framework development and encountering some problems. I try to run the application on a remote Apache Linux host. As long as I run "normal" (non-ZF) applications, everything is fine. The problems arise, when I run a ZF application within the IDE.

When I start the ZF-App from a browser, it works. But when I hit run in the IDE (the green triangle), I get a message 'Invalid controller specified (htdocs)', the same is when I run the debugger.

Can somebody please point me into the right direction to solve this? What am I doing wrong?

Tanks in advance!

This is a problem with project's path mapping. Verify, that you have properly setup project's mapping - right-click on project in Workspace, select Properties from menu. Then on Properties tab verify Mapping section setup. It should look like this:

If the path is different, Zend cannot find propper controller and throws error. It would suggest, that you have project path configured fot 'htdocs/' directory instead of 'htdocs/yourproject/' directory.

Thanks für the reply.
I just tried to configure the mappings, but maybe I'm too dumb to succeed

The projects directory stucture is as follows:


and the project mappings:


The server's Document Root für this virtual host is /var/www/my-project.de/htdocs/public
How should the project mappings look like?

does nobody have an idea how to get this to work?

I think that you want to have

finally got it, thanx for the assistance.

Project Properties, Properties tab


Using this, you don't see the application and the libary directoy in this project. So, I added a second project to the Workspace:

The second project shows all the source trees.

The active project is the first one. And in the first project I put the following entries into the Mapping-tab:


When I set a breakpoint in the second project, execution stops, even if the first one is the active one.
