Problem creating blog in Windows

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

Hi, I am trying to follow the tutorial on the yii-blog-1.0.3.pdf. I have a windows XP, with the latest xampp installed. I’ve followed TO THE LETTER the tutorial, but when I get to the part of Scaffolding (2.2) I get the following error:

C:\>/xampp/htdocs/yii/framework/yiic shell /xampp/htdocs/blog/index.php

Yii Interactive Tool v1.0

Please type ‘help’ for help. Type ‘exit’ to quit.

Previously, as the tutorial states, I modified the …blog/protected/config/main.php to look as:

‘db’=>array(

'class'=>'CDbConnection',


'connectionString'=>'sqlite:/xampp/htdocs/blog/protected/data/blog.db',

),

I already have the sqlite file copied from the the framework demo directory.

Any ideas?

You should download & install sqlite before you use it.

3

It’s already installed and working. I have another project with sqlite and it doesn’t have any problems.

4

Check your phpinfo() whether pdo_sqlite is installed (it’s different than sqlite extension).

Thank you for your help. According to my phpinfo it WAS installed, but upon reinstalling the whole package (WAMP), I had no further problems. I think the extension was damaged or something. Thanx again.
