Install Symfony on remote server

I'm trying to evaluate Symfony 2 (2.1.7). I'm installing it following the download instructions on an EC2 instance that is already running PHP 5.3.20 on Apache.

I'm stuck on the second step of the README.md: "Access the config.php script from a browser". The readme assumes a local installation and provides a sample URL to the localhost: http://localhost/path/to/symfony/app/web/config.php.

Since I'm on a remote server, I try to access the config.php file using the relevant URL: http://mysite.com/Symfony/app/check.php, which returns this message:

I tried to apply the answer from How do I access to symfony config.php remotely? by adding what PHP reports back as my REMOTE_ADDR, but that doesn't change the message.

What do I do now?

In symfony, the web folder is supposed to be your webroot. So, if you want to access \project\web\config.php, you should point your browser to http://www.example.com/config.php.

If that doesnt work, apache is probably configured incorrectly. make sure it it is pointed at your web directory, not your project directory.

edit As you mention in your question, you will also need to edit the config.php file to allow remote access. You can comment those lines out, or add your IP to the whitelist.

edit2 Many webhosts don't allow you to specify your webroot. In that situation, you can put the Symfony files in a different directory and create a symlink between the Symfony web directory and your webroot.
