Can I use Symfony's internal Webserver for Development?

Hi there,

I use orocommerce 3.1.9. For developmental purposes it would be great to use Symfony’s internal web-server:

$ oroapp> symfony server:ca:install
$ oroapp/public> symfony serve
Nov 11 14:59:41 |DEBUG| PHP Using PHP version 7.1.30 (from .php-version in current directory (/usr/share/nginx/html/oroapp319/public/.php-version))
Nov 11 14:59:41 |INFO | PHP listening path=”/opt/remi/php71/root/usr/bin/php-cgi” php=”7.1.30″ port=37163
Nov 11 14:59:41 |DEBUG| PHP started
[OK] Web server listening on https://127.0.0.1:8000 (PHP CGI 7.1.30)

…

Calling https://localhost:8000 in my Browser results in an error:

In DriverManager.php line 181:
(1/1) ClassNotFoundException
Attempted to load class “PDO” from the global namespace.
Did you forget a “use” statement?

And the error-log says:
Nov 11 15:01:51 |ERROR| SERVER GET (500) / ip=”127.0.0.1″

Would it be possible to run orocommerce with symfony’s local Webserver , and if yes – how?

Thanks a lot
Frank

PS: For me it is an easy way (1) to use https://, and (2) to switch php-versions (7.1 -> 7.2 -> 7.1 …), which is easy with this webserver.

Hi Frank,

I use the Symfony server every day for about a year without significant issues. Please make sure you have configured the development environment correctly.
An error ‘Attempted to load class “PDO” from the global namespace.’ means you haven’t installed the required PDO extension for the PHP, but probably you have done it. The server can use a different version of a PHP than you used before installing the server. Usually, the built-in PHP that comes with the OS goes without PDO extension.
To see the list of installed PHP versions you can run symfony local:php:list
Then you can switch the version in your .php-version file to the exact one that you used before.

If the used PHP version is correct, you have to install additionally the PDO extension, like php-mysql.

Hi Andrey,

thanks for your answer. Good to know, that symfony’s inbuilt web-server works for orocommerce. I will make use of it from now.

You are right, my problem was caused by an misconfigured PDO-extension. I removed the several old php-versions, and after reinstalling php 7.1.30 it works fine.

Thanks a lot. It was realy helpful.

Kind regards
Frank
