Well hi there! This repository holds the code and script for the Symfony course on KnpUniversity.
If you've just downloaded the code, congratulations!
To get it working, follow these steps:
Setup parameters.yml
First, make sure you have an app/config/parameters.yml
file (you should). If you don't, copy app/config/parameters.yml.dist
to get it.
Next, look at the configuration and make any adjustments you
need (like database_password).
Download Composer dependencies
Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:
composer install
You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending
on how you installed Composer.
Setup the Database
Again, make sure app/config/parameters.yml is setup
for your computer. Then, create the database and the
schema!
php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load
If you get an error that the database exists, that should
be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the
database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.
Start the built-in web server
You can use Nginx or Apache, but the built-in web server works great:
php bin/console server:run
Now check out the site at http://localhost:8000
Have fun!
And as always, thanks so much for your support and letting us do what we love!
If you have suggestions or questions, please feel free to open an issue or message us.
