How to use symfony environments dev and prod - php

This may seem a dumb question, I need my symfony 3 app to behave different in production than it does in my local machine. I know there is an entry point for each env, app.php and app_dev.php
I don't want to change the application web/.htaccess file because it's followed by git, I was expecting an 'env' var or something similar in app/config.yml but there is also a config.yml and a config_dev.yml, so it has to be another place where I can define if I am working with prod or dev env.
Documentation says that I need to setup my apache server to use either web/app.php or web/app_dev.php, and this is my question. I'm using apache 2.4 and I tried using the following directive:
<VirtualHost *:8000>
<directory>
...
DirectoryIndex app_dev.php
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
I restarted apache, but when I type localhost:8000 in my browser, it keeps using the default app.php, I need my apache server to use app_dev.php, I don't want to use the built-in server because it gets buggy after a while.
Can anyone please help me with the apache configuration to use the dev env?

I think you have the following problems: regardless of which DirectoryIndex you define, the server also picks ups some settings from .htaccess. Could it be possible that you have another reference to app.php in there, like RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]?
Then you could do the following: move that exact setting from .htaccess to your server configuration, both locally and on the production server. Then you can keep all other settings independent from your enviroment.
If this does not help yet, please share the content of .htaccess.
Another way of solving could be to use a recent Symfony version and put everything that might change between environments in the .env file. Don't put it under version control, as this file might contain sensitive information. Then have a look at the current basics: you no longer have a app.php and app_dev.php, as the changes were only little. A common index.php is used, and it reads all current settings from .env

Setup Apigility on Turnkey Lamp

Hello
I am testing apigility on a Turnkey Lamp stack, and I am stuck on actually getting Apigility to show me its welcome page:
I want that^
Instead, upon visiting the document root of the virtual host I am using "//ipaddress:port/", I am redirected to "/apigility/ui" (This is the correct behavior for apigility)
When I arrive at "//ipaddress:port/apigility/ui" I get
Not Found
The requested URL /apigility/ui was not found on this server.
I am now stuck on how to move forward.
I have:
Made sure that the directory permissions are set correctly
Set up my virtual host (text at the bottom)
Made sure that my apigility dir is at the correct location
Made sure apigility is in development mode
Taken my googlefu to its limit
EDIT: I have also successfully opened a phpinfo.php page that I moved into the public folder of the apigility project
EDIT: If I turn off development mode, I do get the page that says how to turn on development mode. Possibly an issue with dev mode?
Edit: I attempted Rahman's fix, but it did not assist with apigility not correctly serving the apigility/ui page. Although it does seem like a cleaner way to use Apache.
Any help would be much appreciated.
To me it seems like there is some issue with the apigility setup, as it starts to redirect me to the correct location, but cannot find the /apigility/ui page it redirects me to.
Here is my virtual host in my Apache config file (It is in the correct config file)
<VirtualHost *ipaddress*:*port*>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/apigility/public"
<Directory "/var/www/apigility/public">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And of course, all of my assertions could very well be wrong (that's why I am here), but I am pretty sure of their truthfulness.
UPDATE:
While Rahman's answer is useful, it does not answer my question. I believe the not found error is related to apigility failing, not Apache incorrectly routing. I will not be accepting that answer, as the problem is not solved. (But would be open to discussion on that answer)
UPDATE: With Rahman's VirtualHost in the apache config file, I only had to enable mod_rewrite, and I can now access the Welcome to Apigility page!
Details on mod_rewrite I found here:
.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Not Found error is because your web server neither can find the location on the server nor can find any rewrite rule for requested url.
So considering that Apiagility has a .htaccess file in the public directory, your problem is in the Apache configuration.
I suggest you edit your Apache configuration file like this:
<VirtualHost *ipaddress*:*port*>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/apigility/public"
<Directory "/var/www/apigility/public">
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

zend framework 2 project in server doesn't work

Working with zf2, we have configured the project successfully in local env, we deployed the same code to server, but there..only the IndexController action is working.
like www.project.com/public/ works,
but when I access other modules like
www.project.com/public/country doesn't work.
This means the mod_rewrite rules to rewrite all requests to your index.php file are not being used. Generally this means either:
The .htaccess file was not uploaded (check the public folder on the server to see if it's there)
The .htaccess file is being ignored (check AllowOverride for the vhost on the live server)
Also, really public/ should not appear in your URLs. Unless you are using shared hosting (where this can be tricky), you want to point your vhost's document root at the public folder.
In a proper Zend setup an error should come from Zend. When you get an error like this, returned from Apache, your apache configuration is not working. Your Zend application isn't even considered, i.e. the index.php in your public folder.
It's a save guess that your [public/].htaccess isn't used. Check your apache web configuration. Most likely you're missing the AllowOverride All statement which is usually inside the <Directory> statement.
And as mentioned by Tim you really should not have public/ in your path to begin with.

Laravel basic routing returns 404

I've recently started learning Laravel but there is one problem which I don't know why it occurs. My current Laravel project is located at wamp/www/codebright. When I access localhost/codebright/public I see the welcome page to Laravel.
When I create a simple routing:
Route::get('my/page', function()
{
return "Harro world";
});
and trying to access:
localhost/codebright/public/my/page it returns with 404 error, not even with Laravel error. I've also tried to access: localhost/codebright/my/page and still.
However, if I type in CMD php artisan serve and open a server on 8000 port and then access:
localhost:8000/my/page it works just fine. I would like to know why my first method without the artisan command didn't work.
Thanks in advance!
Note
It seems like that if you have XAMPP installed, none of the problems mentioned above and in the answer comment section are occurring. Basically, if you are using XAMPP, you most likely won't get any error and the program will work just fine.
It is indeed possible to do what you want but if you're not using artisan serve you must have a webserver set up correctly. From your original post you obviously have a webserver set up as you get the welcome page, but it looks to me like one of the following:
You don't have the .htaccess file in place
Your base vhost (or Apache config if not using a vhost) on your web server setup does not AllowOverride All (which is required to allow .htaccess files to work)
You don't have mod_rewrite turned on
You should check these out. As a minimum, Laravel requires a way to turn URIs that don't exist as real files (my/page) into something it can fake a page for. This pretty much requires the use of mod_rewrite and an .htaccess file to specify the rules.
Explanation of the difference between using Apache and artisan serve: artisan serve does not use a 'dumb' webserver like Apache and instead uses a webserver built into PHP which has knowledge of how to handle 'non-existing' URIs that you browse to, which is why you don't need mod_rewrite and the .htaccess file.
Have you created virtual host for your laravel project?
If no here is how to create virtual host in window
Step 1: Open apache conf file
apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Add below code in last line.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mark-thomas.loc
DocumentRoot E:\wamp\www\codebright\public
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory E:\wamp\www\codebright\public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
E:\wamp\www\codebright\public is your laravel app path, you can replace it with your folder path.
Step 2:
Open-> Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add your ip address in list of IP address
192.168.1.231 www.laravel.loc
Restart your apache server hit http://www.laravel.loc/my/page. Now you will see your message!

EzPublish 5 friendly URL's won't work

i have set up a local EzPUblish 5 installation, and it seems to work, with one exception: friendly URLs.
When I go to http://arabia.local/index.php/Frontpage, it works, but if I go to http://arabia.local/Frontpage, it tells me 404 not found.
I did some research already; I copied the .htaccess_root to .htaccess, I set the ForceVirtualHost=true in site.ini, I checked in my httpd.conf that AllowOverride All is set - I am running out of ideas here.
The files and settings you mentioned mostly concern eZ Publish's legacy part and will most likely have no effect on the frontend.
From what you're describing, the first thought that came to me was that the VHost configuration might be not complete. Please compare your configuration with the one eZ Systems officially provides: Virtual host setup and .htaccess example.
Are you perhaps missing the following line?
RewriteRule .* index\.php
Please also keep in mind that your webserver's root must point to the "web" directory, and if you are not using a VHost based configuration, the .htaccess file must reside in the "web" directory (but to be honest, I haven't seen a non-VHost based setup yet, so I'm not sure about the .htaccess method.
Nonetheless there should be no need to change anything in the "ezpublish_legacy" directory, especially not for an initial setup.

Issue in Kohana 2.3.4 (2.4) with routing and 'Index' controller

I have: brand new clean copy of Kohana 2.3.4 (tried 2.4 RC1 also), a controller named 'index' on a Debian with Apache 2.2.9.
When i type address like http://localhost/kohana/index/index i expect controller 'index', action 'index' to be executed. It works on Windows localhost, works on shared hosting. But does not on my Debian server.
I've debugged and found, that $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] isn't correct. It omits the first 'index' in the URI, so i can get to 'index/index' by going to 'index/index/index'. So that is what i want to fix.
Does anybody know how this could be solved?
I'm guessing it actually occurs in your .htaccess file or Apache config, not Kohana specifically. First of all, make sure that the example.htaccess file that comes with Kohana is renamed to .htaccess, and you may have to restart Apache.
If you are using .htaccess to hide the index.php part of the path, check to see what the RewriteBase setting is:
RewriteBase /kohana/
If you installed it in the root of your web server (as in production, or using a separate port for localhost), then it should be changed to:
RewriteBase /
This is my own personal most common error in setting up new sites and development environments, by the way. This is also true for CodeIgniter and other related PHP frameworks.
Does your Apache install on the Debian server actually have mod_rewrite? It would be good to confirm that. Here's one way to do that.
Further diagnosis to see if it is Kohana or Apache's fault includes adding back in the index.php portion of the path. In your case, try http://localhost/kohana/index.php/index. Finally, I have to agree with sarfraz above that naming your controller "index" is just begging for trouble. My own convention is to call it "home" and to edit the default route accordingly.
It turned out to be mod_negotitaion. It damn mod rewrites my /index/index to /index.php/index, cause it thought i've missed .php
So anyone who encounter this issue, just disable mod_negotiation and have a good time
