May I use sf_sandbox directly as my symfony project?

As sf_sandbox has set up the symfony environment, why not develop in the sandbox directly and then upload on to server? What are the disadvantages of sandbox compared with configuring manually?

Solution

  • I think there is no drawback in following this approach. sf_sandbox is a pre-configured symfony project. One of the pluses is that is saves you time in creating your project and initializing an empty application (by default this is called frontend).

    It's more a matter of taste rather than a matter of right or wrong. It's up to you!

    Note: If you follow this approach you have to make some initial configuration (steps 1,2,3 would be done anyway if you started your project from scratch):

    1. Rename the project
    2. Change the config/properties.ini file
    3. Change the config/databases.yml file (by default sf_sandbox uses sqlite database)
    4. Remove the data/sandbox.db database file
