  1. DNS -Domain Name System
    1. Set up DNS  to recognize “finder”(this is whatever name you want your domain to be) as a domain name.
    2. Point your host to your local machine.
      • where to find the host file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
  2. Set-up Apache to handle the host
    1. Edit the “httpd.conf” file and add the virtual host.
    2. Restart Apache.
  3. Create a Database
    1. Create a database using whatever tool you are comfortable with; I use phpMyAdmin
    2. Create a user to access your database.
    3. Grant permission rights to the user so that they can access the database.
  4. Set up Symfony
    1. Download symfony from the symfony website; http://www.symfony-project.org/
    2. Edit the “databases.yml” file that comes with the download (found in: /config/databases.yml) with the dsn, username, and password details for your domain.
