Symfony - Making dev environment inaccessible in prod

Question

I recently deployed a symfony project and noticed that the dev environment is still accessible.

The following URL loads the prod version of the project:

http://domain.com/app.php/index

The following URL loads the dev version of the project:

http://domain.com/app_dev.php/index

I was wondering if it is possible to make the dev version of the project inaccessible in the prod environment?

I appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Add the following lines of code in your app_dev.php

 // this check prevents access to debug front controllers that are deployed by accident to        production servers.
 // feel free to remove this, extend it, or make something more sophisticated.
 if (!in_array(@$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], array(
                                          '127.0.0.1',
                                           '::1',)))
 {
  header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
  exit('You are not allowed to access this file. Check '.basename(__FILE__).' for more    information.');
 }
