Question

How to add output_dir to app platform app

Hey guys, currently im trying to deploy a symfony app on the app platform, so far i’m able to get the application to deploy but when i got to the active webpage i get a 403, this is due to the server looking wihtin the / of my project rather than /public where my assets are, i’ve had a google and it seems all i need to do is define the root and the define the output_dir to be my built assets dir

Below is my config, i have been unable to find the correct format for this, i also seem to have also found a post somewhere in the community forms here saying there should be an output directory input field upon creating the services but am unable to see where that is.

Thanks!

Hey!

What you would need to do is just extend your run_command to:

    run_command: heroku-php-apache2 public/

That way the web server will be started with the correct public directory.

I have a similar Laravel project with that exact setup:

Hope that this helps!

Best,
