sf2-tutorial

Symfony2 tutorial application based on the ZF2 tutorial by Rob Allen (see https://github.com/akrabat/zf2-tutorial)

Install

Note: All commands are given for linux, specifically tested on Ubuntu.

Composer does not work very well with Symfony, so do not use it. That's why vendor directory is included in the repository.

###Apache config: Create the following virtual host entry (place it into a file named sf2tutorial.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sf2-tutorial.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/sf2-tutorial/web
    <Directory /path/to/sf2-tutorial/web>
        AllowOverride All
        
        # apache 2.2 style
        #Order allow,deny
        #Allow from all
        
        # apache 2.4 style
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Of course you need to change /path/to with the real path of your project! Then enable the vhost with the following commands:

sudo a2ensite sf2tutorial
sudo service apache2 reload

Don't forget to add sf2-tutorial.localhost in your /etc/hosts file.

###Permissions Symfony needs to write to app/logs and app/cache (easy to understand why) in 2 ways:

• from web server
• from console utility

So you need to set premissions properly on the folders app/cache and app/logs. The best way is to use ACLs. Example for linux systems (Ubuntu):

sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/cache app/logs
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/cache app/logs

###Database Create a mysql database named sf2tutorial and add a user sf2tuto with password sf2tuto. Then run the following command to create the schema:

php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
