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.Set installation path permissions to secure access, for example:
# chown -R app_user:app_group /path/to/app/
Update the placeholders above with actual values, noting them for later use in Unit configuration.
Next, prepare the configuration for Unit (use real values for
share
,root
,user
, andgroup
):{ "listeners": { "*:80": { "pass": "routes/symfony" } }, "routes": { "symfony": [ { "match": { "uri": [ "*.php", "*.php/*" ] }, "action": { "pass": "applications/symfony/direct" } }, { "action": { "share": "/path/to/app/public/", "fallback": { "pass": "applications/symfony/index" } } } ] }, "applications": { "symfony": { "type": "php", "user": "app_user", "group": "app_group", "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.

Note
The control socket path may vary; run unitd --help 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:
