symfony 2 No route found for “GET /”

Question

Symfony2 returns No route found for \"GET /\" when I try to run http://localhost/app_dev.php, but this url works: http://localhost/app_dev.php/hello/Symfony. I removed AcmeD

i could have been only one who made this mistake but maybe not so i'll post.

the format for annotations in the comments before a route has to start with a slash and two asterisks. i was making the mistake of a slash and only one asterisk, which PHPStorm autocompleted.

my route looked like this:

/*
 * @Route("/",name="homepage")
 */
public function indexAction(Request $request) {
    return $this->render('default/index.html.twig');
}

when it should have been this

/**
 * @Route("/",name="homepage")
 */
public function indexAction(Request $request) {
    return $this->render('default/base.html.twig');
}
