Nerdery Symfony-Standard Fork

This is a Modified fork of the Symfony2 framework, maintained by The Nerdery.

1. Creating a New Project

---

You can create a new empty nerdery-symfony-standard project by running:

composer.phar create-project nerdery/symfony-standard PATH/TO/INSTALL

You can then generate your app's first bundle with the command:

app/console generate:bundle

2. Installing the project

---

Once you have the source code of your existing or new project, you can easily install it using the phing install command:

phing install

Then, you will need to configure settings in

app/config/parameters.yml

3. Checking your System Configuration

---

Before starting coding, make sure that your local system is properly configured for Symfony.

Execute the check.php script from the command line:

php app/check.php

The script returns a status code of 0 if all mandatory requirements are met, 1 otherwise.

Access the config.php script from a browser:

http://localhost/path/to/symfony/app/web/config.php

If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix them before moving on.
