Developing Symfony project on external webserver: Best Practices - symfony

I'm new to Symfony. Most tutorials develop symfony on a local XAMP or MAMP server using Visual Studio Code. It works well because you can edit the PHP files locally, save and check the result. But now I would like to develop on a live (development) server. What is the best way to do this? Can I connect my Visual Studio Code to the live server and work on the machine? Or do I have to download the files from the server first, edit them locally and upload them again?

Working on a remote asp.net project from a Mac

I use a mac, and would like to work on an existing asp.net MVC project that’s running on a Windows Server on our local network. Using VSCode or the new Visual Studio for Mac, is it possible for me to work on that project over the network, either via smb mounted volumes or some other method, while still having the benefits of Intellisense? Thanks!

Application not appearing on IIS after running setup

I have created a web setup in visual studio 2013. When I install it, only the bin folder is created in IIS, hence I cannot browse my website. Help please.
I have added the Primary Output in the Web Application folder in my setup.
Your question is too confusing. Are you uploading your files on to the web server? Or are you trying to setup your visual studio for debugging, test, editing and coding purposes?
If you are trying to run Visual Studio locally, IIS is setup for you automatically.
If you are trying to setup files to a webserver, try to talk to the live support. Sometimes, we, users, dont have full control or lack of knowledge debugging it on the dedicated server.
Other thing to consider is reinstalling your visual studio carefully.

Visual Studio Apache Cordova App project execute "save" extremely slow

I'm starting to work with Phonegap and I've installed Visual Studio with Apache Cordova Tools.
I can create new Cordova project and change the project files. I can save the files it works well untill I run the project in debugger. After I stop the debugger and edit the project files every save takes about a minute - extremely slow.
I've downloaded an excample project form Microsoft site and I see the same problem with files save.
Does anybody familiar with the problem? Maybe I have to chang something in the Visual Studio configuration?
Try turning off ripple. That seemed to help me

ASP.NET Website No Publish Option

I took on a project that was developed by another developer. The client needs a few alterations made to the site so I got the source code and found out it was developed as an ASP.NET Website project (not web application). Looking at the FTP site, each code behind file is complied down to its dll in the bin folder.
I opened up the web site using Web Developer 2012 Express, made the alterations and even successfully debugged the application and everything looks good. The problem is I can not figure out how to publish it! When I build the web site no dlls are generated in the directory structure of the application. Further, there is not Build menu and thus no Build > Publish option to publish the website.
I've build and deployed major applications using APS.NET MVC but I can't for the life of me figure out how to deploy this simple website project as no dlls are being created.
How does one publish or deploy a website project with no Build > Publish option and no dlls created when Building?
I think it's a visual studio express thing. I don't have the build menu here at home on express but at work it shows up fine on projects.
Have you tried right-clicking on the site in Solution Explorer and observing any possible Publish Site options there?
Failing that, you might try copying the files directly to the site's root folder on the webserver.

Can I host asp.net website?

If I develop a website in asp.net using visual studio trial version & I have my existing domain which supports asp.net hosting. Do i need to purchase a license copy of .net framework or visual studio in order to lunch my website?
Nope. You already have everything you need to launch the site.
The .NET Runtime doesn't require you to purchase anything. If the hosting provider has it installed on the server and offers ASP.NET hosting...you're good to go on that front.
The trial version of Visual Studio also doesn't limit you in this sense. You could've written your ASP.NET code with Notepad and compiled with the .NET SDK that Microsoft distributes freely. It's all the same when it gets served up.
The .NET framework does not require you to buy a license - it is free to download and install, and chances are that your host already has it setup.
As for Visual Studio, it is a development environment - you do not need to install it on the web server.
Once you have developed your site, you can use the built in Visual Studio publishing in order to push the site to your host.
All you need to do is publish the site then configure the site in IIS.
