how to move Symfony project to an other folder? - symfony

Question

I have started a project on Symfony2 and now I would like to change the place where I installed it in my files.
here where it is now:
Application/MAMP/htdocs/symfony/
What is I move the symfony file to
user/myWebSiteProject/...
by the way my composer is in:
user/myWebsitePorject/bin/composer/composer.phar
---------------------------------------------/path/composer.json
Can I do it just like it... move it just like any folder. or should I take into account some things...?

Answer 1

You can move the whole folder without any major issues. What you will need to do is to change any VirtualHosts you may have setup, You will need to update the DocumentRoot property.
You would normally find the file to update on a mac at: /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf depending on how your system is configured.
I'm presuming that your using Apache, Your VirtualHost should look something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.symfony
DocumentRoot "/user/myWebSiteProject/web"
<Directory "/user/myWebSiteProject/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/local.symfony-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/local.symfony-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
This guide should help with the configuration.
