Answer 1

I'm using apache server for production (Shared hosting). The easy thing is edit .htaccess file.

Add this at the bottom of .htaccess file

# ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SetEnv APP_ENV prod
SetEnv APP_SECRET 79cfa09223f91b1a195134019e0b17ac

This will solve the question.

These are the things I faced personaly, so to help someone,

And sometimes symfony4 throws error on php7.2 servers. To solve this, in .htaccess file add the following code,

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php72” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

  AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php72 .php .php7 .phtml

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

This code automatically generated by my server. I think someone needs this.

At first I tried to deploy my app without .htaccess file. But this throws error, no output in production server. I tried to switch php and finally i saw the above code generated by server itself and later I added the setenv to work with symfony4.
