Ch0cu3r Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Not a mac user, But if you have MAMP installed and have gone through the installation steps here then Apache, PHP and MySQL should be set up and ready to go. To install symfony, just download it and extract the archive to your web directory (default path is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs - according to the docs liked above).

Medavidcook Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 That didn't work, totally confused now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch0cu3r Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Explain what you by that? Are you referring to installing MAMP or Symfony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medavidcook Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Symfony, already installed MAMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 So, is php working on your machine? You hint at using mamp already, so why is this question in the "PHP Installation & Configuration" board? Are you simply stuck getting Symfony working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 This pretty much covers the way I've upgraded php and other components of a MAMP stack under osx -> https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP As an alternative, let me suggest investigating a few vagrants. Pretty much any lamp or nginx based distro of your choosing could be located, or there are some pre-packaged vagrants you could try, that popped up in google: https://github.com/irmantas/symfony2-vagrant https://github.com/kleiram/vagrant-symfony Vagrant is a great way to develop without having to mess with your host OS. The only issue I have had in the past is that sometimes composer can be hinkey under virtual box, but I'd still recommend looking into it.

trq Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Have you installed Symfony's dependencies using composer? Have you created a vhost on your http server for this project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
