Zend framework Quickstart and SQLite

Written by

I was building the Zend Framework quick start tutorial example but I kept getting the following error:

Message: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 14 unable to open database file

This was despite the fact that I had correct privileges on the database file.

However it turns out you seem to need write and execute privileges for Apache on the directory that contains your sqlite database (not just the database file itself).

I added them to the containing directory and everything seems to work now. 🙂

    Thank you, this helped me! I had the same problem.

    I wonder why Apache needs execute (!) privileges for the containing directory. #strange

    Thanks a lot!

    BTW: It’s not apache’s fault. I have a setup running under cherokee and had the exact same problem – with the same solution. So this really is a sqlite issue.
