Hi!

It seems that the directory `C:\xampp\htdocs\ept\application\cache` does not exist.  
try creating that directory and ensure that the web server has write permissions in that directory.

besides that, I don’t recognize the classes in the stack trace. it looks like Zend Framework 1. Is that a new project? Zend Framework 1 is veeery old. Also, Zend Framework has been renamed to Laminas. If you want to start a new project, you might want to look into [GitHub - laminas/laminas-mvc-skeleton: Skeleton application for creating laminas-mvc based projects.](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-mvc-skeleton)

Hello and welcome to our forums! 😃

You are using a very old and outdated version of Zend Framework. Like @rieschl said you should look at the new version and the new name “Laminas”.

A tutorial to getting started can be found in the documentation: [Overview - tutorials - Laminas Docs](https://docs.laminas.dev/tutorials/getting-started/overview/)

`Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract` is version 1 of the Zend Framework.

It was the issue of cache operations that should be disable in dev area. Thanks to all 🙂

Please remember that Zend Framework version 1 is outdated and has not received security fixes for years. You should not use this any more!
