Basically I had my website created by a company, but they did not change it to prod - that is probably why another person can gain access to the website without any ftp info. I need to have this fixed.
I read on the net that there should be a few folders in my root file like dev and prod, but I see none. I have only one folder with a custom name that contains all the files. Could you guys let me know how to change it to prod that all the debug tools and stuff are blocked?
Run the following commands if you are on *nix type OS:
Step 1
Symfony 2
sudo rm -rf ./app/cache/*
sudo rm -rf ./app/logs/*
Symfony 3
sudo rm -rf ./var/cache/*
sudo rm -rf ./var/logs/*
Step 2
HTTPDUSER=`ps axo user,comm | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx|lampp|xampp' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1 PHPSTORMUSER=ps axo user,comm | grep -E 'storm' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1`
Step 3
Symfony 2
sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX app/cache app/logs
Symfomy 3
sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX var/cache app/logs
Step 4
Symfony 2
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX app/cache app/logs
Symfony 3
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX var/cache var/logs
Step 5
export SYMFONY_ENV=prod
Step 6
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
These steps will remove all dev dependencies and will install prod dependencies according to composer.json config.
bundles
- fosUserBundle
- HWIOAuthBundle
In the beginning, all work fine
but, every 5 days, login with "fosUser" is locked for 1 day or less ...
he return " login or password incorrect ..."
( HWIOAuthBundle still work when "fosUser" is locked !!!! )
After clear cache the problem persists ...
the project create prod directory and his sub ( directory / files ) ...
but the logs directory is empty !!!
This is a common issue when you use the console with a different user than the web server's user. To fix that, you should fix logs and cache directories permissions, as on the documentation recommends:
rm -rf app/cache/*
rm -rf app/logs/*
HTTPDUSER=`ps axo user,comm | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1`
sudo chmod +a "$HTTPDUSER allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
When deploying symfony2 to the web it still thinks im using local folders for instant..
[public]$ php app/console cache:clear --env=prod --no-debug
[RuntimeException]

I tried following http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/deployment-tools.html with no success any ideas?

Without using ACL
just after your opening PHP tag in : "app/console", "web/app.php" and "web/app_dev.php" add :

Deleted the app/cache/* folder to remove any old information and this fixed it.
I am using XAMPP on Mac OSX. I followed the Symfony2 instructions to set app/cache and app/logs permission -
rm -rf app/cache/*
rm -rf app/logs/*
sudo chmod +a "_www allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
Moreover, I also run the sudo chmod -R 777 app/cache/* and sudo chmod -R 777 app/logs/*
It worked as well. However, when I close the XAMPP and open it again. It always shows the following RuntimeException, and I have to set their permission again and again.
RuntimeException: Failed to write cache file "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/Jobeet/app/cache/dev/classes.php".
I don't find anyone have the same problem as me.
How can I permanently set their permission?
I have had to use the
app/console cache:clear command
to solve a problem when generating an entity.
I am now unable to load my homepage on :
http://localhost/projet_etienne/web/app_dev.php
it says :
RuntimeException: Failed to write cache file "/var/www/projet_etienne/app/cache/dev/classes.php".
I don't understand much about this cache business!
In my app/cache folder, I got a dev, a dev_new, a dev_old folder. Is that normal?
the
app/console cache:clear
generates by the way a :
[ErrorException]
Warning: rename(/var/www/projet_etienne/app/cache/dev,/var/www/projet_etien
ne/app/cache/dev_old): Directory not empty in /var/www/projet_etienne/vendo

and.php line 77
please help!
For a GOOD and definite solution see the Setting up Permissions section in Installing and Configuring Symfony section :
Setting up Permissions
One common issue when installing Symfony is that the app/cache and
app/logs directories must be writable both by the web server and the
command line user. On a UNIX system, if your web server user is
different from your command line user, you can try one of the
following solutions.
Use the same user for the CLI and the web server
In development environments, it is a common practice to use the same
UNIX user for the CLI and the web server because it avoids any of
these permissions issues when setting up new projects. This can be
done by editing your web server configuration (e.g. commonly
httpd.conf or apache2.conf for Apache) and setting its user to be the
same as your CLI user (e.g. for Apache, update the User and Group
values).
Using ACL on a system that supports chmod +a
Many systems allow you to use the chmod +a command. Try this first,
and if you get an error - try the next method. This uses a command to
try to determine your web server user and set it as HTTPDUSER:
$ rm -rf app/cache/*
$ rm -rf app/logs/*
$ HTTPDUSER=`ps aux | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1`
$ sudo chmod +a "$HTTPDUSER allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
$ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
Using ACL on a system that does not support chmod +a
Some systems don't support chmod +a, but do support another utility
called setfacl. You may need to enable ACL support on your partition
and install setfacl before using it (as is the case with Ubuntu). This
uses a command to try to determine your web server user and set it as
HTTPDUSER:
$ HTTPDUSER=`ps aux | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1`
$ sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX app/cache app/logs
$ sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX app/cache app/logs
For Symfony 3 it would be:
$ HTTPDUSER=`ps aux | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1`
$ sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX var/cache var/logs
$ sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX var/cache var/logs
If this
doesn't work, try adding -n option.
Without using ACL
If none of the previous methods work for you, change the umask so that
the cache and log directories will be group-writable or world-writable
(depending if the web server user and the command line user are in the
same group or not). To achieve this, put the following line at the
beginning of the app/console, web/app.php and web/app_dev.php files:
umask(0002); // This will let the permissions be 0775
// or
umask(0000); // This will let the permissions be 0777
Note that using the ACL is recommended when you have access to them on your server
because changing the umask is not thread-safe.

source :
Failed to write cache file "/var/www/myapp/app/cache/dev/classes.php" when clearing the cache
Most likely it means that the directory and/or sub-directories are not writable. Many forget about sub-directories.
Symfony 2
chmod -R 777 app/cache app/logs
Symfony 3 directory structure
chmod -R 777 var/cache var/logs
Additional Resources
Permissions solution by Symfony (mentioned previously).
Permissions solution by KPN University - additionally includes an screen-cast on installation.
Note: If you're using Symfony 3 directory structure, substitute app/cache and app/logs with var/cache and var/logs.
If the folder is already writable so thats not the problem.
You can also just navigate to /www/projet_etienne/app/cache/ and manualy remove the folders in there (dev, dev_new, dev_old).
Make sure to SAVE a copy of those folder somewhere to put back if this doesn't fix the problem
I know this is not the way it should be done but it worked for me a couple of times now.
You probably aborted a clearcache halfway and now you already have an app/cache/dev_old.
Try this (in the root of your project, assuming you're on a Unixy environment like OS X or Linux):
rm -rf app/cache/dev*
Maybe you forgot to change the permissions of app/cache app/log
I'm using Ubuntu so
sudo chmod -R 777 app/cache
sudo chmod -R 777 app/logs
sudo setfacl -dR -m u::rwX app/cache app/logs
Hope it helps..
I move the whole directory from my Windows installation to a unix production server and I got the same error. To fix it, I just ran these two lines in unix and everything started to run fine
rm -rf app/cache/*
rm -rf app/logs/*
i executed:
ps aux | grep apache
and got something like that:
root 28147 0.0 5.4 326336 27024 ? Ss 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 28150 0.0 1.3 326368 6852 ? S 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 28151 0.0 4.4 329016 22124 ? S 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 28152 0.1 6.0 331252 30092 ? S 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 28153 0.0 1.3 326368 6852 ? S 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 28154 0.0 1.3 326368 6852 ? S 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 28157 0.0 1.3 326368 6852 ? S 20:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
user 28297 0.0 0.1 15736 924 pts/4 S+ 20:12 0:00 grep --color=auto apache
so my user with no access turned out to be www-data thus i executed commands:
sudo chown -R www-data app/cache
sudo chown -R www-data app/logs
and it solved access errors.
Never-ever use unsecure 777 for solving specific access probles:
sudo chmod -R 777 app/cache
sudo chmod -R 777 app/logs
if symfony version less than 2.8
sudo chmod -R 777 app/cache/*
if symfony version great than or equal 3.0
sudo chmod -R 777 var/cache/*
If you face this error when you start Symfony project with docker (my Symfony version 5.1). Or errors like these:
Uncaught Exception: Failed to write file "/var/www/html/mysite.com.local/var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.xml"" while reading upstream
Uncaught Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/html/mysite.com.local/var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainerDeprecations.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied" while reading upstream
Fix below helped me.
In Dockerfile for nginx container add line:
RUN usermod -u 1000 www-data
In Dockerfile for php-fpm container add line:
RUN usermod -u 1000 www-data
Then remove everything in directories "/var/cache", "/var/log" and rebuild docker's containers.
Just use this acl cmd, next time the files inside var are created it will have the r/w/x permission for www-data user.
cd var
rm -rf *
cd ..
setfacl -d -m u:www-data:rwx var
Cmd explanation:
setfacl -> Set acl command
-d -> default behavior
-m -> modify
u:www-data: -> for user
rwx -> adding permissions
var -> on the folder
