Symfony 2 configuration page has no styling

Question

I have a very straightforward question for which I can't find the answer to here on stackoverflow.

I am learning Symfony2. I am having problems with the web/config.php page (right at the beginning, so not a good start) - all the text loads up but it has no styling (like one sees in the tutorials on the Symfony site. Despite researching this particular problem I have been unable to find an answer

Any help on this rudimentary question would be appreciated - as I have just begun, I am unsure of what other information I can provide, however I am guessing that this is something someone has experienced before. (

Answer 1

It just seems like you haven't correctly installed the static assets.

From your shell

$ cd /path/to/project
$ php app/console assets:install web

# Alternatively, if you're using a filesystem that supports symbolic links
$ php app/console assets:install web --symlink

then refresh the config page - that should do it.
