Symfony Admin Edition

Important : the current master is known to not work please use the branch 2.5 to get a working version, _(*1)

Welcome to the Symfony Admin Edition - a fully-functional Symfony2 application that you can use as the skeleton for your new applications that requires a Admin backend., _(*2)

This document contains information on how to download, install, and start using Symfony. For a more detailed explanation, see the Installation chapter of the Symfony Documentation., _(*3)

1) Installing the Standard Edition

When it comes to installing the Symfony Standard Edition, you have the following options., _(*4)

Use Composer (recommended)

As Symfony uses Composer to manage its dependencies, the recommended way to create a new project is to use it., _(*5)

If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:, _(*6)

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Then, use the create-project command to generate a new Symfony application:, _(*7)

php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition path/to/install

Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the path/to/install directory., _(*8)

Download an Archive File

To quickly test Symfony, you can also download an archive of the Standard Edition and unpack it somewhere under your web server root directory., _(*9)

If you downloaded an archive "without vendors", you also need to install all the necessary dependencies. Download composer (see above) and run the following command:, _(*10)

php composer.phar install

2) Checking your System Configuration

Before starting coding, make sure that your local system is properly configured for Symfony., _(*11)

Execute the check.php script from the command line:, _(*12)

php app/check.php

The script returns a status code of 0 if all mandatory requirements are met, 1 otherwise., _(*13)

Access the config.php script from a browser:, _(*14)

http://localhost/path-to-project/web/config.php

If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix them before moving on., _(*15)
