Ubuntu
symfony package

where is the program file ?

Asked by Gergely Attila

Hi

A just installed the php5-symfony1.0 package on my ubuntu 8.10, but I can`t find the binary executable "symfony" the package does not contain.
Where is it ?
I can`t find any other package from repository which is for symfony.

Any suggestion ?

I have no idea what symfony is. But nevertheless I think I can help here. I used packages.ubuntu.com and got that:

/usr/share/php/data/symfony/bin/symfony
/usr/share/php/data/symfony/skeleton/project/symfony

The first line could be the binary. If you can start symfony from the command line, the command "whereis symfony" could also help.

Thx that was the binary.
I added in my PATH environment.
Now I get the following error message when I try to run the binary:

$ symfony --help

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to find symfony libraries' in /usr/share/php/data/symfony/bin/symfony:34
Stack trace:

Here I found the answer:
https://lswiki.byu.edu/index.php?title=Symfony_Tutorial&diff=prev&oldid=8145

cd /usr/share/php/data/symfony/bin/
cp ./symfony ./symfony.backup
sed 's|@PEAR-DIR@|/usr/share/php|g' ./symfony.backup > ./symfony.tmp
sed 's|@DATA-DIR@|/usr/share/php/data|g ./symfony.tmp > ./symfony
