Zend - Couldnt load Zend/Application.php (failed to open stream)?

Question

I have a structure as below (I'm using Zend 1.9.6):

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2605/4112306785_fc80d39833_o.gif
(I'm really sorry. I'm not enough reputation.)

When I run program, I get an error:

*Warning: require_once(Zend/Application.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\myzend\index.php on line 25 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'Zend/Application.php' (include_path=';C:\xampp/application/modules/admin/models;.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\myzend\index.php on line 25*

Here is my index.php

<?php
   date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh');

   // Define base path obtainable throughout the whole application
    defined('BASE_PATH')
        || define('BASE_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../..'));


    // Define path to application directory
    defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
        || define('APPLICATION_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/application');

    // Define application environment
    defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
        || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'development'));

   set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
       realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/library'),
       APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/admin/models' ,
       get_include_path(),
   )));


   /** Zend_Application */
   require_once 'Zend/Application.php';

   // Create application, bootstrap, and run
   $application = new Zend_Application(
       APPLICATION_ENV,
       APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
   );

   $application->bootstrap()->run();

Here is my application.ini

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"

resources.frontController.defaultModule = "Default"
resources.frontController.defaultControllerName = "Index"
resources.frontController.defaultAction ="index"

resources.modules = ""

resources.layout.layout = "layout"
resources.layout.layoutpath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts"

[staging : production]

[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

I have search many times on the internet but nothing found helpful. Please help me! Thank so much. This is my first application with Zend.

The error means PHP can't find the file Zend/Application.php that you're trying to require in. By convention, you'd have a copy of Zend Framework in your library folder, so this file should be at library/Zend/Application.php.

Your index.php adds the library folder to the include path, which is what tells PHP to look in this folder when including files. However I don't think the path you've put in is correct, which is probably the cause of the error. You have:

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
   realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/library'),
   APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/admin/models' ,
   get_include_path(),
)));

but this should be:

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
   realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
   APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/admin/models' ,
   get_include_path(),
)));

Edit: Your ZF project archive worked for me with two small fixes:

I fixed the filename of application.ini in application/configs (it was misspelt - possibly just an issue in your rar archive).
I changed the defaultModule in application.ini from Default to default.

The page then loaded for me. I didn't get the Zend/Application.php error you reported in your question.
