    Some corrections:
    1. item 10 – there must be a semi-colon before entering the c:\wamp…. path on the end of the existing string (paths)
    2. between 16 and 17 you need to copy the yii framework files into the www folder.
    Thanks for the info

    Thank you for the informative tutorial.
    #STEP 10
    One clarification is that if the variable values placeholder is already containing other paths then its better one goes to the end of the existing paths and add a semi colon “;” and then place the “C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6” as per your tutorial.
