Phalcon - Class "Phalcon\Config" not found - php

Question

I've installed Phalcon and trying to create new project: phalcon project store. But instead of this I get these errors:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Phalcon\Config" not found in C:\Composer\vendor\phalcon\devtools\src\Builder\Component\AbstractComponent.php:48

My PHP version is 8.0.8 Thread Safe x64, I've installed PSR extension and Phalcon 5.0.0 from here: https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/releases/tag/v5.0.0beta3, file phalcon-php8.0-ts-windows2019-vs16-x64.zip, that means I have compatible version of framework. phalcon.bat was added to environment variables. What's the problem?

Answer 1

Usually this error occurs when the extension is not loaded by php, see with phpinfo(), also run the componser install insider phalcon-devtools, but probably it is the php not loading the phalcon extension or PHP is not in the windows PATH , also check if the php-fpm log does not contain any extension loading errors, test in cmd the command php -v
also create a index.php and try it
<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\Micro;
$app = new Micro();
$app->get('/', function () { echo "<h1>test</h1>";});
$app->handle();

Try do the following Go to Edit The system environment variables -> system variables -> path -> edit add phalcon.bat folder path testing here i used C:\Users\renato\Downloads\phalcon-devtools-4.2.0\phalcon-devtools-4.2.0 ( just path folder where the .sh/.bat it is, do not include the file and extension) and worked fine with php 8.0.16 windows 10 phalcon 5
and then go to the power shell and input phalcon

Do not forget to run composer install inside phalcon devtools folder.
also on powershell input php -m to see the loaded modules and if it has an error
