How to run a Symfony app without using the built-in server?

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

This is also explained in docs: Configuring a Web Server

Answer 3

Maybe something like this could help: Install Symfony 2 with wamp
