Unable to run Symfony 2.0.10 application with PHP 5.6

Question

I'm trying to run Symfony PHP application on windows using PHP inbuilt server or Apache2 server. Symfony version is 2.0.10, PHP version is 5.6.28.

When I'm using Apache server pointed to the Symfony application web directory, opening site in browser just lists directory content, instead of running the application. When I use PHP inbuilt server started at the same location ( web directory of the project folder ) opening in browser site root results in 404 resource not found error, so the Symfony application is not started. When I try to start symfony application using console command php app/console server:run, error appears, saying that server:start command doesn't exist. I couldn't make Symfony homepage to show (means to start the app). the Apache2 httpd.conf file content is:

ServerRoot "c:/Apache24"

"saying that server:start command doesn't exist" This was added in Symfony 2.6. — HPierce

"opening site in browser just lists directory content," this means that your server is not configured properly. Nothing to do with Symfony. — Cerad

According to https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/symfony#v2.0.10

php 5.6 is valid

Use composer to manage all your project dependencies...

To init symfony don't forget :

php app/console --env=prod cache:clear        
php app/console --env=prod cache:warmup              
php app/console --env=prod assets:install --symlink web               
php app/console --env=prod assetic:dump

About apache/httpd prefer use yum/apt-get to manage all php modules.

Can you post your httpd error_log plz ? to be more accurate.

the problem was that I didn't configure apache routing correctly. In the Apache httpd.conf file I has missing this section: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

problem fixed ?

Semen Shekhovtsov Over a year ago

yep, after enabling and configuring mod_rewrite for routing, everything worked fine. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll use them for preparing symfony.

Symfony verion 2.0.10 is no longer supported. You may want to upgrade your version:

https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html

You can run:

composer update

to just update. Version 2.0.10 is really old, so I'm not sure if it'll work.

unfortunately I can't change the Symfony version, that is existing, stable system, I'm just having problems running it on locally on windows.

Can you edit your post and show the Apache configuration?

Semen Shekhovtsov Over a year ago

added Apache configuration. But now I moved a little bit in resolving the issue. When I request site root in the browser, it redirects me to correct location, however returns 404 not found error. for example, when I request localhost it redirects me correctly to some location, localhost/dir/myresource but Apache returns back 404 instead of sending to PHP to process. Probably apache routing is not working or not configured. How can I fix that? The Apache routing configuration, to send all requests to process by PHP symfony?

Semen Shekhovtsov Over a year ago

okay, after enabling routing module in apache httpd.conf file everything worked fine! LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
