I got everything installed correctly, but now I’m having a problem generating apps. I can’t help but thinking this might be somehow related to how the install locations/etc are different since I’m on a mac. Basically, when I run php symfony generate:app frontend in terminal, I receive no errors, but the directory structure the getting started tutorial describes is not created in the apps folder as it should be. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

The executable bit is probably not set on the php and pear binary. Use these comands

cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin and use
chmod +x php
chmod +x pear

I am getting permission denied when I try to run PEAR that is a symbolic link to a MAMP php5.3/bin/pear. Any solutions?

hi there

very good tutorial! thanks a lot, saved me couple of hours/days

I was wondering what these command lines do:
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysqladmin /usr/bin/mysqladmin

thanks!

Something you may want to add is a link to mysqladmin so that you can quickly setup databases from the command line as well.

sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysqladmin /usr/bin/mysqladmin

is the line you’d do to do it.

Thanks for the help by the way, I was having issues getting symfony installed through pear.
