Fix propel-gen error: Error reading project file build-propel.xml

January 26, 2010

php Software

I had just installed propel-gen and phing with the pear method onto a new system. But after running the propel-gen I only get this error:

$ propel-gen $PWD

Buildfile: /usr/lib/php/data/propel_generator/pear-build.xml

My Installed software versions:

propel-gen -> 1.4.1
phing      -> 2.4

And exactly this was the problem. It seems that the phing version 2.4 breaks some stuff. Because of this I have installed the old version, and now it works perfect.

$ pear uninstall -n phing/phing
$ pear install phing/phing-2.3.3
