Hi,
Since I do have apache2 installed and running, Is there any way to avoid running the webserver for symfony backend through the command below ?

$ php app/console server:run localhost:8080

Without running the webserver, I always get the error 500.

Thanks

The Symfony website has great documentation on how to get an application running in a production environment:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/deployment/tools.html

For apache specific configuration:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html

Thank you @bayne for providing me documentations.

After googling a little, I found this command php app/console server:run localhost:8080 is used just to avoid the configuration of the webserver (which LAMP in my case) as described below:

How to Use PHP's built-in Web Server

Since PHP 5.4 the CLI SAPI comes with a built-in web server. It can be used to run your PHP applications locally during development, for testing or for application demonstrations. This way, you don't have to bother configuring a full-featured web server such as Apache or Nginx.
(see http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/web_server/built_in.html)

Since all my symfony projects are working perfectly with actual configuration of my server LAMP, so I am wondering what only this project makes me getting:

The localhost page isn’t working

localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
500

So, my question is: "what 's the thing that made you adding in the documentation that running the webserver is requested?"
Anyway, if you have any ideas or proposals, I will be happy to take them!

Thanks,

FYI, the example is working perfectly if I run php app/console server:run localhost:8080

I found the problem in /var/log/apache2. The folder src/Acme/DemoBundle/Resources/public/components/cache is not writable.

Problem solved!
