Symfony public_html – changing web directory

If you use shared hosting, you probably have public_html directory instead web that symfony projects uses.

if you want to change default folder simply rename web directory to desired name and add following line of code to config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file

$this->setWebDir($this->getRootDir().'/public_html');

file should look something like that:

/* file config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php */
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../lib/vendor/symfony/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php';
sfCoreAutoload::register();

class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
{
  public function setup()
  {
    $this->setWebDir($this->getRootDir().'/public_html');
    $this->enablePlugins('sfDoctrinePlugin');
    $this->enablePlugins('sfFormExtraPlugin');
  }
}
