Install PEAR
First we need to install PEAR locally. To do this we need to download the 'go-pear.phar' file from pear.php.com. If you have 'wget' enabled all you need to do is type this: wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar To actually install PEAR run:
php go-pear.phar ln -s /home/user/pear/bin/pear mypear To set PEAR memory to 16Mb we need to edit the pear command file. Type:
pico /home/user/pear/bin/pear -d memory_limit=16M Install symfony
As discussed first we need to download the Symfony package and then install it from a locally saved file.Discover Symfony channel:
./mypear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com ./mypear download symfony/symfony-1.2.2 ./mypear install symfony-1.2.2.tgz /home/user/pear/bin/symfony -V Deploy project
Upload your project files to your '/home/user/ directory'. You can use Symfony's deploy command or rsync.In order for your project to work you need to set correct path to Symfony's files. If you hosting provider allowes you to change the document root of your account, ask the tech support to change it to '/home/user/project/web'. If changing document root is not allowed you need to tweak your project settings. We will assume you need to use '/home/user/public_html/' as you document root for the project.
Edit the 'ProjectConfiguration.class.php' file:
pico /home/user/project/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php require_once '/home/user/pear/share/pear/symfony/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php'; $this->setWebDir('/home/user/public_html'); Now replace your current 'public_html' directory with your project's 'web' directory:
cp -R /home/user/project/web/ /home/user/public_html/ with this:require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
require_once('/home/user/project/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php'); Add this line at the beginning of the file:pico /home/user/public_html/.htaccess
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5.php Change 'php.ini' settings
If you are planning to use Propel with Symfony 1.2 you need to use a custom 'php.ini' file, generally it might also be a good idea regardless.Copy the 'php.ini' file to your document root by typing:
cp /usr/local/lib/php.ini /home/user/public_html/php.ini php /home/user/pear/data/symfony/bin/check_configuration.php short_open_tag = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = Off extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
- Note:
- This will only work if your hosting provider has these extensions installed.
Change 'rsync_exclude.txt'
If you are using rSync to deploy your project you need to edit your 'rsync_exclude.txt' file, otherwise all the changes you made on the server will be lost. Add these lines to the file: /config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php
/web/index.php
/web/php.ini
/web/.htaccess That's it! Your project should be running now.
