I store all my projects inside a dev folder - with a sub folder for each project. I also have a folder here for symfony and another for downloaded plugins (to easily handle plugin install without needing Pear). In the Symfony folder I have a folder for each version of Symfony I play with and do a checkout for each (so I can update easily).
I then also create a "current" folder which I use for client projects using the mklink command (MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target) from the windows shell. When creating projects I create the project folder, project\lib\vendor and then use mklink again to link to the appropriate version of symfony I wish to use and link to the symfony folder described above. This tend to work without any problems and gives me flexibility when developing. Instead of using xamp I've started to use Zend Server CF - which tends to run with less issues generally then xamp and gives me a nicer interface to manage the environment. Apache tends to have less issues than the xamp version does. It's also a much cleaner install, decent feature set & very much worth checking out (http://www.zend.com/products/server/). Under Apache\conf I create a sites-enabled folder and enable it in conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf - following the general approach used on apache linux installs and it's an easier/cleaner way to have vhosts running locally that's portable. Annoyingly there's no a2ensite script for windows - so you'll have to drag across the one in the symfony/config directory yourself and change it with the hostname you'll want to use. Additionally you'll need to edit your system32\drivers\hosts file (as Admin as it's a protected file) to add the hostname you want to use. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
