How to create a new Symfony project

Setup

1. Clone this project anywhere outside your web folder. This package will be used to create new Symfony projects and does not need to be cloned every time.
2. Run the "symfony-kickstart" script from the "bin" directory and give you new project's path as the first argument. The new project's directory must NOT exist prior to running the script.
3. Start building your new project!

Hosting environment specific configuration

Hosting environment specific configurations are used to achieve the same goal as parameters.yml.dist. However, in .PROD, these configuration are automatically generated. We therefore need them to be included in symfony via a specific worflow.

Checkout the confs directory:

An example for a MySQL database (doctrine/orm conf) is available:

• app/config/conf.d/database.php
• confs/samples/database.ini
