Setup environment for Symfony2 - Настройка окружения для Symfony2 на Ubuntu 14.04

This is simple instruction on how to setup environment for Symfony2 and Ubuntu 14.04:

https://gist.github.com/31fac5fcfb6eea4f2787

Edit file:

 vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Edit DocumentRoot to your value, I prefer "/var/www"

Next step we need to enable mod rewrite:

a2enmod rewrite

To allow use htaccess files in our projects we need to enable this option for our dir (/var/www in this case).

vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Replace "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" for <Directory /var/www/> section. Restart apache

service apache2 restart

Install xdebug if it needed:

pecl install xdebug

Find place where xdebug was installed:

find / -name 'xdebug.so' 2> /dev/null

Copy this value and edit your php.ini:

vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Pase to end of file (Shift + F - go to end of file in vim):

;xDebug Configuration starts
    zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so
    xdebug.max_nesting_level=250
    xdebug.var_display_max_depth=10
    xdebug.remote_enable=true
    xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
    xdebug.remote_mode=req
    xdebug.remote_port=9000
    xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
    xdebug.idekey=phpstorm-xdebug
    xdebug.remote_autostart=1
    xdebug.remote_log=/var/log/apache2/xdebug_remote.log
;xDebug Configuration ends

Also you need to replace/edit some values in php.ini. First of all, set date.timezone. You can choose it at php.net site. Second turn on display_errors if it needed. Restart apache

service apache2 restart

Install composer globally:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
