Migration to Symfony 1.1: First step

Hello guys!

Today I decided to migrate one of my project built in Symfony 1.0.16 to Symfony 1.1

I made Symfony upgrade from pear in this way:

# pear upgrade symfony/symfony

And it has downloaded and installed successfully new Symfony 1.1.0 package.

Well done, but the project is under older version still 🙂

After that went to the project forlder and tried to run ‘symfony’ command… I got plenty of PHP errors, some files were missed and so on… crap! But these errors pointed me on only one reason – something is wrong with configuration!

I decided to do this is the following way – I generated new symfony 1.1 project by this command:

symfony generate:project ProjectName

It worked fine and I got clean new project.
I copied ‘symfony’ from the project root of the newly generated project to the old project root, replacing the old one.
Also I copied ‘ProjectConfiguration.class.php’ from new /config folder to the old /config folder.

And ran ‘symfony’ command with crossed fingers… Wow! Works! I got symfony help commands list!

But the project still under old Symfony version…

If you run ‘symfony’ command you can see there the following:

project
:clear-controllers  Clears all non production environment controllers (clear-controllers)
:deploy             Deploys a project to another server (sync)
:disable            Disables an application in a given environment (disable)
:enable             Enables an application in a given environment (enable)
:freeze             Freezes symfony libraries (freeze)
:permissions        Fixes symfony directory permissions (permissions, fix-perms)
:unfreeze           Unfreezes symfony libraries (unfreeze)
 :upgrade1.1         Upgrade a symfony project to the 1.1 symfony release

We need the last line!

So I ran the command

#symfony project:upgrade1.1

And i got many lines of migration process result.
Like this:

>> config    The following file is not used anymore. Please remove it.
   E:/Projects/sfprojects/projectname/apps/frontend/config/logging.yml
>> config    The following file is not used anymore. Please remove it.

>> config    The following file is not used anymore. Please remove it.
   E:/Projects/sfprojects/projectname/config/config.php

>> layout    Migrating E:/Projects/sfproject...e/frontend/templates/layout.php
>> propel    Migrating E:\Projects\sfproject...projectname\config/propel.ini
>> propel    Migrating E:\Projects\sfproject...projectname\config/propel.ini
>> settings.yml Migrating E:/Projects/sfproject...me/frontend/config/settings.yml

>> test      Migrating E:\Projects\sfproject...e\test/bootstrap/functional.php
>> web_debug Migrating E:/Projects/sfproject...ame/frontend/config/filters.yml

This shows that migration is OK but we need to delete some files listed above.
After I deleted files I realized that migration is over! 🙂
I point my browser on my local VirtualHost for this project and got error which I’ll describe in the following migration step.

Happy migration! 🙂

New Symfony powered Numerology resource (in russian)

Few days ago mу and my friend, Dmitry Savin, have created website for his mom with Symfony framework.

The site is about Numerology and numerology courses (if you understand Russian you can read what this site about, if not – use Google Translator 🙂 )

It using the following plugins:

  • ddAccessibleFormPlugin
  • sfCompressWebFilesPlugin
  • sfFeed2Plugin
  • sfGuardPlugin
  • sfMediaLibraryPlugin
  • sfNiftyPlugin
  • sfPropelActAsCommentableBehaviorPlugin
  • sfPropelActAsNestedSetBehaviorPlugin
  • sfPropelActAsTaggableBehaviorPlugin
  • sfPrototypePlugin
  • sfSimpleBlogPlugin
  • sfSimpleCMSPlugin
  • sfThumbnailPlugin
  • sfTipOfTheDayPlugin

It looks pretty fine and now it has small community of people that interested in numegology.

I was very happy to help him with development!
