Deployment Symfony
This step needs to be done deploying from Github, something I am currently working on.
At this time, this next step needs an SSH connection to the cPanel server.
Let's go into the deployment directory.
gospelnet@gospel.net.nz [~]# cd deploy.gospel.net.nz/ gospelnet@gospel.net.nz [~/deploy.gospel.net.nz]#
Install Composer
We are working with a Symfony 4.2 installation. We are heading towards Symfony 4.4 and also Symfony 5.1, but all this takes time.
A small note to start with is that we are running PHP 7.4 on this installation. With allow_url_fopen = On
gospelnet@gospel.net.nz [~/deploy.gospel.net.nz]# php -v PHP 7.4.10 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Sep 29 2020 18:56:48) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.4.10, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
Go to https://getcomposer.org/download/ for the first part of the installation.
This changes from time to time so it is best to get the instructions from there, but this is what I did October 2020.
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '795f976fe0ebd8b75f26a6dd68f78fd3453ce79f32ecb33e7fd087d39bfeb978342fb73ac986cd4f54edd0dc902601dc') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
Installer verified
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php composer-setup.php All settings correct for using Composer Downloading... Composer (version 1.10.13) successfully installed to: /home/gospelnet/deploy.gospel.net.nz/composer.phar Use it: php composer.phar
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
Setup Symfony 4.2
At the moment I can only get 4.2 running from an existing copy, I really need to upgrade to 4.4.
- Copied across from a working website
- Changed Ownership
- Changed .env to the correct database.
- Checked access
- Run as website user: APP_ENV=prod APP_DEBUG=0 php bin/console -vvv cache:clear
- Check Error Had an Out Of Memory, so adjusted the local php.ini
Getting un successfully.
Setup Symfony 4.4
Note, we are working on a cPanel Server.
Having setup Composer, next
/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/php ./composer.phar create-project symfony/website-skeleton:^4.4 my_project_name
It is useful to note that I got out of memory errors. And even though I increased the local php.imi file to a 512M, the error persisted until I increted the main php.imi file to 128M.
Afterward, I reduced the main php.ini file back down to 64M
Next, we want to move all these files into the root of this website.
mv my_project_name/{*,.*} ./
rm -rf my_project_name
The Directory & File structure should look something like this.
./ bin/ composer.json composer.phar* .env .gitignore migrations/ php.ini~ public/ symfony.lock tests/ var/ .well-known/ ../ cgi-bin/ composer.lock config/ .env.test .htaccess php.ini phpunit.xml.dist src/ templates/ translations/ vendor/
You should be able to go to your URL and see a working Symfony.
All is good.

These are things we are currently adding
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php ./composer.phar require easycorp/easyadmin-bundle /opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php ./composer.phar require friendsofsymfony/ckeditor-bundle
if you get asked to run a recipe.... DO!
Do you want to execute this recipe? [y] Yes [n] No [a] Yes for all packages, only for the current installation session [p] Yes permanently, never ask again for this project (defaults to n): y
if you have symfony/apache-pack installed, uninstall it.
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php ./composer.phar remove symfony/apache-pack
Now run
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php ./composer.phar require doctrine
When I first ran this, it kept saying that my PHP version was 7.2 when it was 7.4 once I relogged in as the actual user and not promoting myself across users, this command worked.
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php ./composer.phar require friendsofsymfony/user-bundle
