Prerequisites

See Symfony: Requirements for Running Symfony2

Creating a new project

See Symfony Documentation: Installing and Configuring Symfony

  • Make sure Composer, a dependency management library for PHP, is installed.
    • Can be installed anywhere on the local computer.
    • littledamienii: c:/Composer
    • Using Composer: 
      > php composer.phar
  • Download Symfony distribution: 
    > php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition /path/to/webroot/Symfony/ 2.3.4
    • php composer.phar
      • Use Composer to download and install.
      • If composer.phar cannot be located use php c:\Composer\composer.phar
    • create-project "Create project" parameter.
    • symfony/framework-standard-edition
      • Symfony distribution to install.
      • TODO: Investigate options and determine best one. Esp. standard distribution vs. distribution without vendors.
    • /path/to/webroot/Symfony/
      • Location of the Symfony project.
      • E.g. ./develop/littledamien/newproject/
      • TODO: A directory named web is installed below Symfony/ or newproject/. This is where requests are routed. All other files and directories should be non-public. Figure out the best naming convention for the project root directory, and where on the staging and production servers it should be located relative to public directories.
    • 2.3.4 The version of Symfony to install.
  • Create a new site in IIS.
    • The root directory of the site should be newproject/web/
  • Test the new installation.
    • If not connecting to the site using http://localhost, edit web/app_dev.php to add the remote address to the list of allowed addresses.
    • In a browser go to http://newproject.dbarchowsky.com/app_dev.php.
    • A welcome page should load. If it does, the site is ready for development.
    • See also, removing sample scripts from the distribution.
