Pagoda Box Symfony2 Demo

Demo application running on PagodaBpx

Setup Symfony2 for pagodabox

You have 2 choices while setting up symfony 2 on pagoda adding the database infomation to the source or using external parameters(no need to include database username and password)

you need will need to change the following file in your symfony application app/config/parameters.ini and app/config/config.yml If you decide not to use external parameters replace %database.host%, %database.name%, %database.user% and %database.password% in 'app/config/parameters.ini' with the database infomation

 ;app/config/parameters.ini
            [parameters]
             database_driver   = pdo_mysql
             database_host     = %database.host%
             database_name     = %database.name%
             database_user     = %database.user%
             database_password = %database.password%

  #app/config/config.yml
         dbname:   %database_name%
         user:     %database_user%
         password: %database_password%

After changing the files push your application to github then go to pagodabox.com and create an application with a database

(External Parameters) Go to you application global vars in the pagodabox dash board and add the following variables using your database infomation

         SYMFONY__DATABASE__HOST
         SYMFONY__DATABASE__NAME
         SYMFONY__DATABASE__USER
         SYMFONY__DATABASE__PASSWORD

After you have do this you will need to create a tunnel to connect to your database

if you are using external parameters you will need to change app/config/parameters.ini to your database infomation(dont push changes to github)

Now you can run php app/console doctrine:schema:create to create the database schema. If you want you can reverst the app/config/config.yml and app/config/parameters.ini to match the one on github
