symfony: How to set configuration parameters files for different environments?

Question

How to setup a different configuration parameters file for each environment?

At the moment parameters in parameters.yml are used in both dev and prod environment, but I need different parameters in order to deploy my app in prod.

Answer 1

You can put all the parameters used in your dev environment in a app\config\parameters_dev.yml file (you need to create it) and then import it in your app\config\config_dev.yml:

imports:
    - { resource: config.yml }
    - { resource: parameters_dev.yml }

So when you work in local any parameter used in production will be overwritten by the new file with the right parameters.

And remember to Clear the cache!
