Symfony§
To run apps built with the Symfony framework using Unit:
Install Unit with a PHP 7.2.5+ language module.
Next, install Symfony and create or deploy your app. Here, we use Symfony’s reference app:
$ cd /path/to/ $ symfony new --demo app
This creates the app’s directory tree at
/path/to/app/
. Itspublic/
subdirectory contains both the rootindex.php
and the static files; if your app requires additional.php
scripts, also store them here.Run the following command so Unit can access the application directory:
# chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/
Note
The
unit:unit
user-group pair is available only with official packages, Docker images, and some third-party repos. Otherwise, account names may differ; run the ps aux | grep unitd command to be sure.For further details, including permissions, see the security checklist.
Next, prepare the Symfony configuration for Unit (use real values for
share
androot
):{ "listeners": { "*:80": { "pass": "routes" } }, "routes": [ { "match": { "uri": [ "*.php", "*.php/*" ] }, "action": { "pass": "applications/symfony/direct" } }, { "action": { "share": "/path/to/app/public$uri", "fallback": { "pass": "applications/symfony/index" } } } ], "applications": { "symfony": { "type": "php", "targets": { "direct": { "root": "/path/to/app/public/" }, "index": { "root": "/path/to/app/public/", "script": "index.php" } } } } }
Note
The difference between the
pass
targets is their usage of thescript
setting:The
direct
target runs the.php
script from the URI or defaults toindex.php
if the URI omits it.The
index
target specifies thescript
that Unit runs for any URIs the target receives.
For a detailed discussion, see Configuring a Web Server in Symfony docs.
Upload the updated configuration. Assuming the JSON above was added to
config.json
:# curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \ /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/
Note
The control socket path may vary; run unitd -h or see Startup and Shutdown for details.
After a successful update, your project and apps should be available on the listener’s IP address and port:
