app_dev.php运行页面，但是app.php发送404

Question

I just started working with Symfony2. I created a simple controller in AppBundle called PageController.php and it has an action called homeAction(Request $request) . It all works well and all. Afterwards I ran a command

$ php app/console assets:install

and ran the server and everything was alright. If I ran localhost:8000/page/home (as I set it up in the @Route ), the page would show up as I expect it to.

Now if I run localhost:8000/app.php/page/home I get a

404 page not found

error, while if I run it with localhost:8000/app_dev.php/page/home, again I get what I want.

I tried 2 things to fix this (both of which I found here, on StackOverflow), neither worked:

1. I tried to run another command

    $ php app/console assetic:dump --env=prod 

2. I tried going into .htaccess folder and change all of the app.php parts to app_dev.php. It didn't work, so I reverted back to app.php

Answer 1

When developing in development (ie app_dev.php ) changes in annotations trigger the internal cache to be updated, thus no need for an action.

When, in turn, testing it in production environment (ie app.php ) you might want to clear the production cache first, so the annotations cache (as well as doctrine, compiled twig templates etc.) gets updated.

You achieve this by executing php app/console cache:clear --env=prod , or short php app/console c:c -e prod .
