installing and configuring symfony 3.2

Question

I am trying to install Symfony 3.2, I have tried to walk through the instructions here:

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

first when running the command:

php.exe symfony new SymfonyProject

I got the error:

cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Which has a solution in here:

cURL error 60: SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate

Afterward, I have installed and created a Symfony project successfully, I got an error page while trying to access http://localhost:port/config.php of my apache server.

so I headed to the apache configuration page:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/web_server_configuration.html

and changed the minimum requirement variables to meet my system (off course a restart for the apache service is required):

<VirtualHost *:port>
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost

    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\SymfonyProject\web"
    <Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\SymfonyProject\web">
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog "C:\xampp\apache\logs\project_error.log"
    CustomLog "C:\xampp\apache\logs\project_access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

I also changed Document root to "C:\xampp\htdocs\SymfonyProject\web" and tried also "C:\xampp\htdocs\SymfonyProject" (just in case) to no avail.

But am still getting an error:

project_access.log and project_error.log are empty.

I tried another page besides http://localhost:port/config.php

in here: http://symfony.com/doc/current/quick_tour/the_big_picture.html

it is being suggested that going to http://localhost:port/app/example is also a valid page, but I still get an error.

your help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

sorry, I have missed a step.

running, php bin/console server:run as described here:

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

allowed me accessing the config.php file.

Answer 2

Try this change:

...
NameVirtualHost *:80
...
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost

    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\SymfonyProject\web"
    <Directory />
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog "C:\xampp\apache\logs\project_error.log"
    CustomLog "C:\xampp\apache\logs\project_access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure that NameVirtualHost is uncommented. Also, why are you trying to access:

http://localhost:port/config.php

I don't think you will be able to access the config.php file. Try instead (for a default route):

http://localhost/
