Symfony§

To run apps based on the Symfony framework using Unit:

1. Install Unit with a PHP language module.

2. Next, install Symfony and create or deploy your app. Here, we use Symfony’s reference app:

   $ cd /path/to/
   $ symfony new --demo my_project
   

   This creates the app’s directory tree at /path/to/my_project. Its public/ subdirectory contains both the root index.php and the static files; if your app requires additional .php scripts, also store them here.

3. Finally, prepare and upload the app configuration to Unit (note the use of uri, share, and fallback):

   {
       "listeners": {
           "*:80": {
               "pass": "routes/symfony"
           }
       },
   
       "routes": {
           "symfony": [
               {
                   "match": {
                       "uri": [
                           "*.php",
                           "*.php/*"
                       ]
                   },
   
                   "action": {
                       "pass": "applications/symfony/direct"
                   }
               },
               {
                   "action": {
                       "share": "/path/to/my_project/public/",
                       "fallback": {
                           "pass": "applications/symfony/index"
                       }
                   }
               }
           ]
       },
   
       "applications": {
           "symfony": {
               "type": "php",
               "user": "www-data",
               "targets": {
                   "direct": {
                       "root": "/path/to/my_project/public/"
                   },
   
                   "index": {
                       "root": "/path/to/my_project/public/",
                       "script": "index.php"
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   }
   

   Note

   The difference between the pass targets is their usage of the script setting:

   • The direct target runs the .php script from the URI or defaults to index.php if the URI omits it.
   • The index target specifies the script that Unit runs for any URIs the target receives.

   For a detailed discussion, see Configuring a Web Server in Symfony docs.

   Assuming the config above is saved as symfony.json:

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @symfony.json --unix-socket \
          /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config
