Not able to install Sonata Project

Question

I recently came across Sanota Project and wanted to give it a try. I am trying to install all the bundles of sanota project following the quick installation steps mentioned here

and when I run the website php app/console server:run all i see is the white screen. I dont see any error in app_dev.log

I cross checked if the bundles are enabled in Appkernel.php and they seem to be.

public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // SYMFONY STANDARD EDITION

        );

No matter what route i access

/blog
/page
/media
/admin

All i see is white screen and no error in app_dev.log.

I am using Ubuntu with xampp, all other symfony projects are working fine, except this Sonata Project. My xampp logs also do not mention any error that could be causing this. In fact i cleared my log files so only Sonata related errors are logged if any and at the moments all log files are empty too.

While trying to install using composer

composer create-project sonata-project/sandbox:dev-2.4-develop

or

composer create-project sonata-project/sandbox:dev-2.3-develop

or

composer create-project sonata-project/sandbox:2.3.x-dev

I get the following error

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle ~2.0@dev -> satisfiable by doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle[2.0.x-dev].
    - doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle 2.0.x-dev requires symfony/symfony >=2.0,<2.1 -> no matching package found.

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see  for more details.

I followed these instructions as well but no luck.

Since this is my first time with Sonata so I might be doing something wrong. I will really appreciate any help on this.

Answer 1

You have to change in file composer.json, line 34 to:

"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "1.0.*",

After that enter this command in sandbox folder:

composer update

Answer 2

The minimum-stability of the project you try to install is set to a option higher than dev. So composer will not be able to install this project.

First try to install a stable version of the project, and try to upgrade to a dev version afterwards by changing the minimum-stability to dev.

composer create-project sonata-project/sandbox

I'd advise you to also set prefer-stable to true, so the other packages will not all switch to the dev-master branch.
