Symfony2 in production mode doesn't work because of FOSUserBundle

Question

I'm trying to deploy my symfony2 project for university to my production server. In development mode, everything works fine.

So I cloned the project from our server to my hoster via git. parameters.yml is fine configured and composer was up to date, fixtures was loaded to database as well.

When I call the web folder over http symfony2 shows a blank page. prod.log shows the following in short:

What did I try to fix it?

• delete app/cache/*
• delete vendor/* and run composer update again

Both server (dev and prod) run PHP 5.6.12

Can anyone give me a clue whats wrong?

Answer 1

The "solution":

add libxml_disable_entity_loader(false); to app.php in the web folder.

The workaround was found on a github issue .
