在azure web app上托管symfony2应用程序

Question

i have a problem hosting a symfony2 app on azure. It am always getting an "Failed to write cache file" error in Filesystem.php. I guess that php does not not have the permission to write to the cache folder. How can i give php the permisson to modify the cache, without webdeploy or git, i only have ftp and the azure management portal.

You have to set the correct directories for logs and cache in your Kernel. And you can usually set permissions for that folder using your FTP client.

public function getCacheDir()
{
    if ($this->getEnvironment() == 'prod') {
        return 'D:\\home\\data\\cache\\prod';
    }
    return parent::getCacheDir();
}

public function getLogDir()
{
    if ($this->getEnvironment() == 'prod') {
        return 'D:\\home\\LogFiles\\app\\';
    }
    return parent::getLogDir();
}

there is also a pre-made bundle to take care of these things: https://github.com/brainsonic/AzureDistributionBundle

and even a detailed tutorial: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/deployment/azure-website.html
