[ciapug] Propel

[Carl Olsen]

I finally got it working.  The main thing that messed me up was installing
the latest stable releases.  It doesn't seem to work unless you install the
latest Release Candidates.  Normally, when I download software, I never
download anything that is still in beta or hasn't been finally released.  I
had to install PEAR, but I installed it by using the go-pear.bat file in PHP
5.1.4 release root directory.  I installed everything else manually, which
isn't difficult.  All I can say is that this is one monster of a program.
It looks like it can do just about anything.  I always hesitate to use stuff
like this because I like to learn how to write my own code, but I guess
using PHP is really just using a bunch of functions someone else wrote.  I
looked at some of the files and there's nothing I really don't understand,
there's just a lot of it.  Someone put a lot of work into this.  Now that I
have it running correctly, I'll have some fun with it tomorrow.  It took me
six hours to get it working right, but it is awesome.

I will probably be mailing you off the list with more questions, but this is
great!

Thank you!

Carl

I'm pretty sure that you've skipped some steps in the install that you 
simply need to get figured out.  First, you will want PEAR installed. 
After that, I'd be sure you are using the PEAR package installation of 
Propel by using the PEAR channel they have provided.

Dave's right, the Propel website is good and the mailing list is 
excellent as well.  Feel free to email me off-list about specific 
configuration errors but I think if you have other things more around 
'how do I do X?' be sure to include this list as others may enjoy that.
