Can't build simple build.xml file

[seija@…]

Hello,

following Problem: I have a build.xml file (attached) which works fine if it lies in C:\xampp and doesn't work if it lies in C:\xampp\htdocs

The error which occurs is "Can't locate default task list"

Please locate and repair this error. Or tell me how I can repair it (if it is my error )

I have installed phing with "pear install --alldeps phing/phing" and using Xampp 1.7.2

Sample build.xml file for ticket #367

I can't reproduce this using a standard XAMPP 1.7.2 install and Phing 2.3.3 (from PEAR). Could you please provide more details about the setup, the contents of c:\xampp\htdocs, and any other helpful information you can think of?

I have this problem too I think. phing works when the build.xml file is in c:\xampp\php\ but doens't work (BUILD FALED, can't load default task list) when the build.xml is in another location then the root of phing Any ideas ?

Platform : Windows XP, xampp 1.7.2, Phing 2.4.0 RC2

This is very strange - I installed a clean copy of xampp 1.7.2 and phing 2.4.0rc2 on a vista machine and still can't reproduce this with the sample build file. Are you using the xampp shell or any other settings that can help me reproduce it?

Found out that the path variables are not replaced when Phing is installed via PEAR. In ticket #365 ( http://phing.info/trac/ticket/365) you can find all things that are missing (some files and some replacements). After I copied the missing files and replaced all placeholders everything works fine.

Saij, which package were you installing? Please try installing Phing 2.4.0RC2, that package should work fine without manual intervention.

Don't know exactly what package it was but I am very sure (99%) that it was 2.4.0RC2 Just installed it on my Debian Lenny Server and all went well. I will try it at home with my Windows machine.

Saij, could you please confirm if this issue is still occurring?

I have this problem too: windows vista, xampp 1.7.2, php 5.3.0, pear 1.8.1

I solved this problem by adding the pear/data directory into php include_path

<< include_path = ".;D:\xampp\php\PEAR"
>> include_path = ".;D:\xampp\php\PEAR;D:\xampp\php\PEAR\data"

Ok, thanks for the heads up, I'll post that notice on the website.
