Installation

[dturner]

I am trying to install Symfony on Linux and have tried following the instructions on the main Symfony site.

I have previously successfully installed XAMPP and got php pages running on it.

I downloaded and un-extracted Symfony 1.4 as per instructions on web-site and tried "Project Creation" entering
lib/vendor/symfony/data/bin/symfony generate:project anewone

But this told me that "symfony" command not recognised

I re-entered the line with php at the front and it told me

"The program php is currently not installed"

What am I doing wrong??

I discovered that gthe php executable is stored, on my machine, in /opt/lampp/bin and so instead of entering php followed by the directory and generate command, I had to entter /opt/lampp/bin/php in place of just php at the start. Then it all worked.
