I have some very basic question about Symfony and VirtualHost.

I have my Symfony3 installed in E:/XAMPP/htdocs/icp

Everywhere i read, to setup VirtualHost, so I did it

<VirtualHost *:80>    
DocumentRoot "E:/XAMPP/htdocs/icp/web/app_dev.php"
ServerName icp.com

When I now call icp.com in the browser, the project renders, but in the background the browser can't find the referenced CSS-files (no-route error).

When I delete the VirtualHost-entry and call the project via localhost/icp/web/app_dev.php, everything works finde.

My question now is, do I really need VirtualHost for local development? If not, how would I call a route/controller(?),.. i.e. ipc.com/mycontroller/mymethod/3 without VirtualHost??

Further there is the question, what did I wrong with my VirtualHost-config ??

It all depends on personal preference, if you want to open project with virtual host you can configure it like this if not keep like this localhost/icp/web/app_dev.php.

What did I wrong with my VirtualHost-config ??

You have issue in following line,

DocumentRoot "E:/XAMPP/htdocs/icp/web/app_dev.php"

DocumentRoot should not be pointing to file, instead it should point to web folder. Like this,

DocumentRoot "E:/XAMPP/htdocs/icp/web/"

  • Hey thank you very much :) .. after weeks of trying it finally works, but some of my work suddenly doesn't work.. what's about, wenn I would not like to use VHosts. How would I call a url mentioned in the question? .. further, how would I need to configure it, so i get the **dev** ? – JohnPoe Jul 09 '16 at 10:03
  • You can configure it in `.htaccess` file placed in web folder. – Alok Patel Jul 09 '16 at 10:10
