Symfony Standard Edition

What's inside?

Symfony Standard Edition comes pre-configured with the following bundles:

• FrameworkBundle
• SensioFrameworkExtraBundle
• DoctrineBundle
• TwigBundle
• SwiftmailerBundle
• ZendBundle
• AsseticBundle
• WebProfilerBundle (in dev/test env)
• SymfonyWebConfiguratorBundle (in dev/test env)
• AcmeDemoBundle (in dev/test env)

Installation from an Archive

If you have downloaded an archive, unpack it somewhere under your web server root directory.

If you have downloaded an archive without the vendors, run the bin/vendors.sh script (git must be installed on your machine). If you don't have git, download the version with the vendors included.

Installation from Git

Run the following scripts:

• bin/vendors.sh
• bin/build_bootstrap.php
• app/console assets:install web/

Configuration

Check that everything is working fine by going to the config.php page in a browser and follow the instructions.

The distribution is configured with the following defaults:

• Twig is the only configured template engine;
• Doctrine ORM/DBAL is configured;
• Swiftmailer is configured;
• Annotations for everything are enabled.

A default bundle, AcmeDemoBundle, shows you Symfony2 in action. It's only available in the dev environment. After playing with it, you can remove it by deleting the src/Acme directory and removing the routing entry in app/config/routing_dev.yml.

Configure the distribution by editing app/config/parameters.ini or by accessing /web/config.php in a browser.

A simple controller is configured at /hello/{name}. Access it via web/app_dev.php/_demo/hello/Fabien.

If you want to use the CLI, a console application is available at app/console. Check first that your PHP is correctly configured for the CLI by running app/check.php.

Enjoy!
