How Symfony activate automatically the prod mode en MacOS with MAMP

I use the global symfony command to create a project under my ~/tmp/ directory, and aliased it to my /Application/MAMP/htdoc/ Apache Server's webroot.

Surprise, the project was in prod mode. I know it because the underline debug tool known as the "profiler" is missing and all my bugs was non visible, and when I search in app/logs/dev.log, the file is missing too, but there is a app/logs/prod.log.

If I run app/console server:run, the project is in dev mode.

How is that possible ? Maybe all the software installed by MAMP? open_ssl, mod_fastcgi, mod_perl, mod_ssl, mod_wsgi?

I usually only use the build-in server of PHP to run the project and I never set the prod mode before.

It's due to the .htaccess of the project's webdirectory.

When you browse a Symfony application through Apache, you are in production environment by default, no matter the OS used.

To go in dev mode, open the file web/app.php , find the following line :

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false); // Prod env, debug disabled

And change it to :

$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', true); // Dev env, debug enabled

It's the quicker way I know.

Otherwise, I made an override of the default a .htaccess adapted for the dev environment.
It rewrite URLs to the app_dev.php front-controller rather than app.php.

Update

You need to add the following in your apache configuration :

<Directory "path/to/your/project">
    DirectoryIndex app_dev.php
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /app_dev.php [QSA,L]
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

You should create a vhost to make this configuration specific to your project, not your whole localhost.

I don't recommend you to change the value of the second argument of AppKernel in web/app.php.

Instead I recommend you to configure in your local MAMP setup to use app_dev.php as the PHP index file, which is what the server:run command does too.
