Installation in the Symfony built-in webserver

Mapbender3 is built on the Symfony Framework and therefore can take usage of the Symfony built-in webserver. This allows a quick test of Mapbender3 without an integration into an external webserver. This is not suited for production environments. In this document we assume that the SQLite database is used.

• Take notice of the system requirements

• Download Mapbender3.

• Extract Mapbender3 in an arbitrary directory.

• Copy the parameters.yml.dist to parameters.yml.

  cp app/config/parameters.yml.dist app/config/parameters.yml
  

• Start the Symfony built-in webserver:

  app/console server:run
  

• After that Mapbender3 is available at the URL http://localhost:8000/app.php.

In virtual environments

If you want to run Mapbender3 on a virtual machine and access it from your hosting machine, use the following command:

app/console server:run 0.0.0.0:8000

After that Mapbender3 ist available from the host-machine with the URL http://ip-adresse:8000/app.php.
