Symfony default controller white page

Question

After installing a fresh version of symfony via composer

php composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition myProject

The default welcome page looks like this

All permissions are correct so not sure where the default view is? Anyone seen this before?

Answer 1

This is exactly what should be displayed. When you install the standard framework edition, it comes with a default AppBundle that has a controller which loads the default index page. The content of that template simply displays Homepage.

Here's the AppBundle/Controller/DefaultController call, it renders the default/index.html.twig template:

return $this->render('default/index.html.twig');

And here's the content section of that template:

{% block body %}
Homepage.
{% endblock %}

The fact that the Symfony profiler is showing at the bottom is the main indicator that you actually installed Symfony properly.

Here are the files in Symfony 2.7:

https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/2.7/src/AppBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/2.7/app/Resources/views/default/index.html.twig

The screenshot you are looking for existed for the Acme/DemoBundle which was the default through Symfony 2.4, but this was removed in Symfony 2.5 in favor of a much more bare-bones AppBundle.
