SfProject

This "sfproject" is a simple demo application based on Symfony 2.3 framework.
This demo application just shows you how a Symfony Application looks like, and how it works.
It will not tell how to develop a Symfony application from scratch, But you can follow the recommended Best Practices to make it.

Requirements

PHP 5.4 or higher will be fine;
PDO-MYSQL PHP extension enabled;
and the usual Symfony application requirements.

If unsure about meeting these requirements, download this demo application and browse the http://localhost:8000/config.php script to get more detailed information.

Installation

Get Source Code:

Clone or download this sfproject.

$ git clone https://github.com/loiyshen/sfproject.git

Create Database:

The SQL files you need are under the folder /data/mysql-db/.

The default Account/Password is: admin/123456, then you can login to the back-office.

Apache Configuration:

You need to add 2 virtual hosts to your httpd-vhosts.conf file.

The content of configuration what you need in the /data/apache-conf/httpd-vhosts.conf file.

Add Local Hosts Records:

Copy the content of /data/hosts/hosts.txt file, and paste it at the end of your local hosts file.

The hosts file here C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in Win 7.

Run it: Now, you visit the demo application:
- front-end: http://sf.dev.com
- back-office: http://sf-admin.dev.com.

If you have PHP 5.4 or higher, there is no need to configure a virtual host in your web server to access the application. Just use the built-in web server:

$ cd sfproject/
$ php app/console server:run

This command will start a web server for the Symfony application. Now you can access the application in your browser at http://localhost:8000. You can stop the built-in web server by pressing Ctrl + C while you're in the terminal.

NOTE For more details, see: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html
