Using Plesk and you’re having trouble deploying your Symfony 4 application? We’re going to be setting up a Symfony 4 Application using Plesk step by step.

Requirements:

  • PHP 7.1.3 or higher
  • Plesk Onyx 17 Server
  • A Symfony 4 Application

Step 1: Setting up your Subdomain:

Step 2: Add .htaccess file

The last step would be including the the following .htaccess  file to be able to use the routes without using index.php as prefix. The file should placed in the public directory:  /symfony.victorcruz.me/public/.htaccess

Finally open the subdomain in your browser to and you should be good to go!!
