In the documentation is clearly explained how to run the built-in server to run a Symfony App.
Ok, all works well and i'm very happy, but:
How can i run a Symfony App without using the server but simply something like http://localhost/path/to/symfonyApp/web/app.php?
Here the documentation: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/web_server/built_in.html
Maybe something like this could help: Install Symfony 2 with wamp
This is also explained in docs:
Configuring a Web Server
It's not too hard, if you're running a local server (Apache/wamp) and have PHP configured to it already. If you're on a windows machine you'll want to run it with a nice linux-esque terminal like Cygwin. You'll also want to have Composer to automate a lot of your Symfony tasks.
Then just download Symfony and put it in your web facing folder (htdocs, www, whatever you call it) and configure it according to what you need.

I have install Laravel in my pc using composer.
I used gitbash and started xampp control server
First I've changed my directory.
Then I've ran a command composer create-project laravel/laravel project_1. After the command had run, it installed laravel and all necessary file and key was successfully set.
Then I again changed my directory to project_1
Then I ran another command php artisan serve. After running this command Laravel development server started and 127.0.0.1:8000 this ip has genrated.
I copied the id and paste it in my browser url bar.(I copied and pasted it without using keyboard. I only used mouse)
but when I provided the ip the project_1 starting page did not open.
The page was loading and it is still loading.
what can I do? Please help
logs folder
Here is my contribution, I cannot say what is the cause but I have a solution for it; because I have such as a challenge.
run
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public
Note that the 8000 is your port, and this could be any 4-digit number.
I hope this helps
Every thing you did seems right to me in terms of Laravel requirements, so lets check some other possible issues:
make sure that your internet connection isn't configured to use
proxy, if so make sure you excluded your local address.
if you are using Internet security suite software, make sure it doesn't block your requests, this vary from software to another but you might test this by deactivating the software for a while until you try.
now that's what I have in mind, I hope it help.
First, stop the php artisan serve
After changing directory go to inside your project folder, you can run php artisan serve. Then a localhost URL will be generated for you where you can see your project in the browser
If you have PHP installed locally and you would like to use PHP's built-in development server will start a development server at http://localhost:8000
Please try to install Laragon and forget about Xampp for now. This is really cool tool and you'll start much quicker. I did try to resolve few issues with Xampp myself and always wasted a lot of time. You can google tutorials later for it as well. Plenty of info out there.
As well it comes with in house installer for Laravel ;) and more :).
Make sure that you are not coping the url from Git Bash through command, it will stop running the project
Make sure that you are not using antivirus specially avast antivirus.
This is the first time I've used a PHP framework.
I've been following the Laravel documentation to install Composer and Laravel, and everything seems to have gone smoothly.
But now I've finished the installation/configure instructions, and I have created a project, I can't see any instructions on how to serve my application so it's viewable via a browser?
I have used Ruby on Rails before, which came with an easy way to get an instance of the application running via a built-in web server.
Is there something similar with Laravel, or do I need to somehow configure my standard Apache instance to serve the application?
I'm guessing there is something I've overlooked or misunderstood in the documentation.
yes, you can do it by using following in your terminal.
open your terminal, and navigate to directory where you have your project abc
and fire following command
php artisan serve
Now you can access it in browser by going to http://localhost:8000
hope you get it
I just want to add to the answer of Mubin Khalid . You can choose your own port number like
php artisan serve --port=8080
This is helpful when running two or more project.
You can also serve with you ip address
php artisan serve --host=ip_of_computer_running_laravel --port=8080
works to access server with in same network.
if you are accessing from same laptop you can just browse to ip_of_computer_running_laravel:8080 but if you are browsing from other computer in the network ip_of_computer_running_laravel:8080
I have a rails application that uses php code. I am calling the php code directly with a system call 'php path/to/script.php'
This works fine on my local machine where I have php installed. I'm looking to deploy this to somewhere like Heroku. To solve this problem, I am using the multibuildpack Github library:
github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi
I have specified in my .buildpacks
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php.git
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git
and both install just fine. The problem is that Heroku treats the application like a php application. On the Heroku logs, it states that it is using the php configuration and is starting php-fpm when I want it to run as a rails application.
How do I go about fixing this? Specifically, how do I make sure that php is ready on Heroku when I make the system call
You can do this by using multiple buildpacks
heroku buildpacks:add heroku/php --index 1 -a app-name
Also create a composer.json file on the root of your project, you can even specify the php version like this:
{
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4",
"ext-mcrypt": ">=2.5.8"
}
}
Finally create a composer.lock with
php composer.phar update --ignore-platform-reqs
Commit, deploy your code and all set.
If PHP CLI is installed you could use the gem "php_process", which I wrote, to call the PHP library instead of bundling PHP files, which may be what is causing Heroku to define your project as using PHP.
https://github.com/kaspernj/php_process
I don't believe there is a way to fix this because according to Heroku - they support both languages and determine which language is used in the application. It seems it's one language or the other.
I write PHP and have dabbled with Ruby on Heroku, but haven't tried mixing the two. It sounds a lot messier than I would be comfortable with, personally.
Why not try contacting Heroku Support?
I'm trying to run a Symfony project that I cloned from a GitHub. I've never used Symfony before but I'd like to run the project.
I read you needed to run frontend_dev.php so I ran that in to my browser:
C:\Users\Computer\Desktop\Project\WebInterface\web\frontend_dev.php
But just got a blank page with some PHP on it. I believe I may have to set up a web server but I'm not sure and figured I'd ask here first.
If I wanted to run the project from my computer, would I just download an Apache server and drop it in the root directory? What variables and files would I need to change to get it working properly? Do I need to forward any ports?
Symfony 1.x branch is not supported anymore. Use Symfony 2.
Anyway, concerning your question: here is the doc for 1.4: Day 1: Starting up the Project
I am interested in the PHP framework, especially by symfony and ZendFramework, but I am not sure of one thing: I saw the need to type command lines to create a project with these frameworks. Ok, but once the project is finished, is it possible to move files to another server without installing anything (except for Apache)?
Thank you in advance
Ps: No report, but do StackOverflow uses a framework?
It is absolutely possible to run a symfony or zend framework application without installing the framework on the server. Symfony has a special mechanism to pack everything into one folder. If you use zend framework you basically have to copy the "Zend" folder to your "lib" directory and you are ready to go.
As far as I know, StackOverflow is build on ASP.net and C# running on several windows servers.
Firstof, most of those commands are needed for development only. But also you do not have to have the commands in your global path, it's also possible to execute the scripts directly.
In case of symfony that would be something like
./symfony-framework/data/bin/symfony
if you installed symfony to symfony-framework.
I believe stackoverflow is based on .NET MVC or plain ASP .NET - http://meta.stackoverflow.com will give you that answer
With Zend Framework, it is possible. The Zend_Tool part, which sets up the basics of your project is just addition. You can, but you don't have to use it at all. You can just write the project from scratch yourself, just stick to the standard project architecture.
Anyway, once the project is ready, it does not need any command line setup, other than mayby setting correct file system permission if your project needs to write some files.
I can't say about symphony, but I assume it also can be just copied to the target server.
I don't know, how about ZF, but project made with Symfony can be easily moved to another server just by copying files. However it will be difficult to maintain your project without commands. Also you have to copy all Symfony's core files to your server, but it will be better to install Symfony there before.
About Symfony:
Usually, you develop locally on your dev environment (using Wampserver or MAMP for example). You will require access to the command line to run symfony commands, specially for complex tasks like ORM tasks. So you have to install symfony on that environment.
According to the official doc the recommended installation method is through SVN (either the trunk or a tag) inside your project folder.
When you'll push the files from your dev environment to another (using project:deploy if you can), all the required files will be pushed.
So there is no need to install (in the sense of "run" or "execute") anything on the live environment server. The only "installation" method that requires an access to the command line is the PEAR install method, which is not recommended.
The only problem that I had when I deployed an application was a user permission problem on the cache folder, but that's easy to fix by changing the folder permission.
