Symfony Standard Edition
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the Symfony Standard Edition - a fully-functional Symfony2
|
|
application that you can use as the skeleton for your new applications.
|
|
|
|
This document contains information on how to download, install, and start
|
|
using Symfony. For a more detailed explanation, see the [Installation][1]
|
|
chapter of the Symfony Documentation.
|
|
|
|
1) Installing the Standard Edition
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When it comes to installing the Symfony Standard Edition, you have the
|
|
following options.
|
|
|
|
### Use Composer (*recommended*)
|
|
|
|
As Symfony uses [Composer][2] to manage its dependencies, the recommended way
|
|
to create a new project is to use it.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on
|
|
http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:
|
|
|
|
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
|
|
|
|
Then, use the `create-project` command to generate a new Symfony application:
|
|
|
|
php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition path/to/install
|
|
|
|
Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the
|
|
`path/to/install` directory.
|
|
|
|
### Download an Archive File
|
|
|
|
To quickly test Symfony, you can also download an [archive][3] of the Standard
|
|
Edition and unpack it somewhere under your web server root directory.
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded an archive "without vendors", you also need to install all
|
|
the necessary dependencies. Download composer (see above) and run the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
php composer.phar install
|
|
|
|
2) Checking your System Configuration
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before starting coding, make sure that your local system is properly
|
|
configured for Symfony.
|
|
|
|
Execute the `check.php` script from the command line:
|
|
|
|
php app/check.php
|
|
|
|
Access the `config.php` script from a browser:
|
|
|
|
http://localhost/path/to/symfony/app/web/config.php
|
|
|
|
If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix them before moving on.
|
|
|
|
3) Browsing the Demo Application
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! You're now ready to use Symfony.
|
|
|
|
From the `config.php` page, click the "Bypass configuration and go to the
|
|
Welcome page" link to load up your first Symfony page.
|
|
|
|
You can also use a web-based configurator by clicking on the "Configure your
|
|
Symfony Application online" link of the `config.php` page.
|
|
|
|
To see a real-live Symfony page in action, access the following page:
|
|
|
|
web/app_dev.php/demo/hello/Fabien
|
|
|
|
4) Getting started with Symfony
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your Symfony
|
|
applications, but it also contains some sample code that you can learn from
|
|
and play with.
|
|
|
|
A great way to start learning Symfony is via the [Quick Tour][4], which will
|
|
take you through all the basic features of Symfony2.
|
|
|
|
Once you're feeling good, you can move onto reading the official
|
|
[Symfony2 book][5].
|
|
|
|
A default bundle, `AcmeDemoBundle`, shows you Symfony2 in action. After
|
|
playing with it, you can remove it by following these steps:
|
|
|
|
* delete the `src/Acme` directory;
|
|
|
|
* remove the routing entries referencing AcmeBundle in
|
|
`app/config/routing_dev.yml`;
|
|
|
|
* remove the AcmeBundle from the registered bundles in `app/AppKernel.php`;
|
|
|
|
* remove the `web/bundles/acmedemo` directory;
|
|
|
|
* remove the `security.providers`, `security.firewall.login` and
|
|
`security.firewall.secured_area` entries in the `security.yml` file or
|
|
tweak the security configuration to fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
