The 1st stable version of the framework was coming with an unperfect but operational way of sending emails based on phpMailer. Thus, following the [...]

Using Mercurial as VCS for symfony

narko — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:52:55 GMT

For my daily usage I use Mercurial as version control system. I love it’s simplicity and excellent support on Windows. To use Mercurial effectively for symfony, the only thing you need to configure is your .hgignore file. A good practice is to ignore all generated files by symfony for Doctrine or Propel.

Symfony log management with `logrotate` on Linux

narko — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:52:55 GMT

Symfony’s production environments don’t create logs, but the development environments do, and for one project I had several batch jobs logging to the myproject/log directory...
