A space news website written by symfony 4 using the best practices
Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:
composer install
You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending
on how you installed Composer.
Setup the Database
Open .env and make sure the DATABASE_URL setting is
correct for your system.
Then, create the database and the schema!
php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load
If you get an error that the database exists, that should
be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the
database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.
Start the built-in web server
You can use Nginx or Apache, but the built-in web server works great:
php bin/console server:run
Now check out the site at http://localhost:8000
For convenience
If you are using PhpStorm you may install and enable the Symfony Plugin via the preferences which provides more auto-completion for Symfony projects.
Have fun!
