I installed symfony via pear, but getting a symfony project working on my Mac turned out to be a nasty thing. In Ruby on Rails, you run a server script and visit 0.0.0.0:3000. That’s it. On the other hand, symfony works on Apache. So I really need to know httpd.conf, especially virtual hosts.
It seems that most of the tutorials on symfony official website use MacPorts.
- How to get your environment on Intel MacOsX platform
- Installing Symfony without PEAR on MacOSX
- Setting up a osX Development Environment for Symfony
Not so much as tweaking what I just installed, I will have to use MacPorts. I really don’t want to mess up with my system. I don’t have time to understand the instruction. I just need a project working on my Mac.
