As far as I know, hosts file does not support wildcard domains. What you are doing is correct.

you can also have a look at http://www.sfblog.fr/page/symfony-et-les-vhost-dynamique it's in french but the apache configuration should be enough to understand.

[symfony-users] Re: Configure a virtual host to access multiple symfony projects
Sounds like what you are doing is correct, and it's the way I do it (for local machine development). I create a separate vhost for each Symfony site, tweak the paths, and add an entry to my hosts file. If each each project has a lib/vendor/symfony folder you can run different versions of Symfony on your machine. You can also create separate vhosts for each of your apps within a project. Create sub-directories under /web for each app, move the front controller files into them, along with the css and images folders or any other assets, and then tweak your vhost paths. example: ServerAdmin y...@example.com ServerName local.site DocumentRoot/var/www/project/web/frontend DirectoryIndex index.php Alias /sf "/var/www/project/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf" ErrorDocument 400 /index.php/errors/error404 ErrorDocument 401 /index.php/errors/error404 ErrorDocument 403 /index.php/errors/error404 ErrorDocument 404 /index.php/errors/error404 AllowOverride All Allow from All AllowOverride All Allow from All Or if your apps share a lot of the same assets, keep all your common files under /web and create aliases that point to them like this: Alias /css "/var/www/project/web/css" Alias /images "/var/www/project/web/images" Kris On Sep 18, 3:48 am, Davide Borsatto wrote: > Hi everybody, > > Lately I've been doing many experiments with symfony, creating > differents projects for each of them. > I usually create an apache dedicated virtual host, with a defined > server name, link to the web/ directory of symfony, and add a row to > the /etc/hosts file to match the new server name. > > I'm sure this is not the best way to achieve the result... > > Indeed, I was thinking that it would be cool to reach multiple symfony > projects with url like > > http://project1.localhost/http://project2.localhost/ > > Where Apache understands that project1 is a directory, and builds the > path like this > > /var/www/symfony_projects/:project/web > > So I could simply create a new directory with a symfony project > inside, and it would be ready to go. > > My point is: is there any way to configure Apache to make this happen? > And the file /etc/hosts supports "wildcard hosts"? > > I'm a PHP programmer, and I'm not familiar with the Apache > configuration.

Another way to go is to have all your apps in one symfony tree and use multiple controllers, each in a separate folder (each controller points to the same tree but sets a different application). We have been using this technique to migrate an old site (static files) piece-by-piece by building the app and simply dropping an index.php file in the folder after the app is built and tested. This doesn't require any special modules or Apache voodoo :-) -- --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.

Seems like what I need, I'll check the docs later.

Hi, You should look about the apache module "mod_vhost_alias" : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 9:48 AM, Davide Borsatto wrote: > > Hi everybody, > > Lately I've been doing many experiments with symfony, creating > differents projects for each of them. > I usually create an apache dedicated virtual host, with a defined > server name, link to the web/ directory of symfony, and add a row to > the /etc/hosts file to match the new server name. > > I'm sure this is not the best way to achieve the result... > > Indeed, I was thinking that it would be cool to reach multiple symfony > projects with url like > > http://project1.localhost/ > http://project2.localhost/ > > Where Apache understands that project1 is a directory, and builds the > path like this > > /var/www/symfony_projects/:project/web > > So I could simply create a new directory with a symfony project > inside, and it would be ready to go. > > My point is: is there any way to configure Apache to make this happen? > And the file /etc/hosts supports "wildcard hosts"? > > I'm a PHP programmer, and I'm not familiar with the Apache > configuration.
