Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

im using windows xp professional with wamp server installed

so now…

i am in the c:\wamp\www\yii\framework directory

and in the dos prompt window i enter

yiic webapp blog

just like the tutorial video says to do

then i get this ERROR

php.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file

please – what should I do?

i followed these instructions but still get same error

Now you have to add the following PATH:s in Windows:

"C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.8"

and

"C:\wamp\www\framework".

The former path should lead where your php.exe resides, and the latter where your yiic.bat resides.

To do so, go to:

start -> My computer(right click!) -> Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables -> Click Path in System variables -> Edit

any tips?

now i also did this and it worked

using the windows command line interface available through Start menu -> Run -> type cmd -> click Ok

strange but if i go to start->all programs->accessories->Command Prompt

then it will not work
