starting with symfony 2 (app_dev.php works, app.php 404's)

Question

I was following the tutorials for symfony, and have hit a road block.

my setup is the current version of xampp (running on windows), so my apache and php are relatively up to date.

following their "quick tour" here:

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

everything worked great in the development environment. following the guides a little further however, i started creating my own test bundle via the guide here:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/page_creation.html

and can't get it to work properly on the production environment. (it works fine in the dev environment, just like the pre-installed demos did.

i have tried clearing the cache via the php app/console cache:clear --env=prod --no-debug command, however that did not help (and also seems to be the only suggestion that pops up upon searching.

when viewing the routes, i can see that my "/hello/{name}" route is showing up fine on the list of routes.

my app/config/routing.yml has:

acme_hello:
    resource: "@AcmeHelloBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /

as it should, and then my src/Acme/HelloBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml has

hello:
    path:     /hello/{name}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeHelloBundle:Hello:index }

does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be? (i have also tried converting the out of the box demo to a production route, by copying the route info from the routing_dev.yml file and reassigning the bundle in the appkernel.php file, but that had the same problem)

---edit---

per request, here is my appkernel.php file

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel; use Symfony\Component\Config\Loader\LoaderInterface;

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
            new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),
            new Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\TwigBundle(),
            new Symfony\Bundle\MonologBundle\MonologBundle(),
            new Symfony\Bundle\SwiftmailerBundle\SwiftmailerBundle(),
            new Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle(),
            new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
            new Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\SensioFrameworkExtraBundle(),
            new JMS\AopBundle\JMSAopBundle(),
            new JMS\DiExtraBundle\JMSDiExtraBundle($this),
            new JMS\SecurityExtraBundle\JMSSecurityExtraBundle(),
            new Acme\HelloBundle\AcmeHelloBundle(),
            new Acme\DemoBundle\AcmeDemoBundle(),
        );

        if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
            $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle();
            $bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\SensioDistributionBundle();
            $bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\SensioGeneratorBundle();
        }

        return $bundles;
    }

    public function registerContainerConfiguration(LoaderInterface $loader)
    {
        $loader->load(__DIR__.'/config/config_'.$this->getEnvironment().'.yml');
    }
}

---2nd edit---

i found the problem. i thought it was strange that nothing was showing up in the prod log, so i thought maybe something was redirecting me, causing me to miss the app.php file entirely.

it turns out, this was the problem. i emptied the contents of the .htaccess file that was in the web folder (the one that symfony came preconfigured with) and then everything magically started working.

Answer 1

I also had the same problem. I share how I solved it (Strange but it works).

In file web/app.php change:

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false);

by

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', true); // Enable debug mode

Then load the page in the browser (in app environment) and change the file again disabling debug:

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false);

Try loading the page in the browser again. It should work properly.

Best regards,
