How to run a symfony2 project from existing code on xampp

Question

I have a symfony2 project. I need to run it on my local environment using xampp. I placed the existing code in xampp but when i go to localhost/myproject , it simple list the directories and files there. I also installed composer in that directory

EDIT When I move to web directory, it gives me following error

Warning: require_once(G:\xampp\htdocs\m\developer\web/../app/bootstrap.php.cache): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in G:\xampp\htdocs\m\developer\web\app_dev.php on line 23

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'G:\xampp\htdocs\m\developer\web/../app/bootstrap.php.cache' (include_path='.;\xampp\php\PEAR') in G:\xampp\htdocs\m\developer\web\app_dev.php on line 23

Answer 1

The quickest way is if you go to localhost/myproject/web/app_dev.php

The proper way would be by configuring a virtual host. This question might help you with it Symfony 2 on virtual hosts

Answer 2

It seems to be a problem between a project made in a linux environment, not functionning in a windows one. You could make a php composer.phar install in your project directory, it should resolve your issue.

If there are troubles, you may want to get a fresh start with a clean composer.json , remove composer.lock and the vendor forlder, then add the bundles you need in it.
