Neos CMS installation 500 error: Specified path not found

Question

I tried to install Neos CMS local under Windows 10 with a Wamp Apache Server. After creating the project with a composer and registering the Vhosts, I tried to run neos.demo/setup. Then I get an 500 internal server error with the message "Specified path not found”, for more information, take a look at the screenshot.

I checked the solutions for the exception code 1355480641, but nothing can solve my problem.

Thanks for your recommendations!

Answer 1

do you have set Neos.Flow.core.phpBinaryPathAndFilename in Configuration/Settings.yaml to the correct php.exe binary path?

Answer 2

This is not an actual solution, this is more of an alternative.

I was having troubles installing neos on windows 10 as well (not the same as you though), a really nice solution that I would recommend as alternative to wamp is bitnami-neos.

Answer 3

I got the same error in the current version of Neos CMS (v4.1). The solution to the problem was for me:

• Adjust Configuration/Settings.yaml with the php.exe path (which you already did)
• Launch an administrator cmd
• Go to the Neos CMS directory
• Run flow flow:core:compile
• Run flow flow:cache:warmup

Now I could access Neos with XAMPP.
