Hello friends, how are you?
Today I'm here to talk about the procedure for installing Symfony on a Hostinger shared server. Along the way, I had several doubts about how to install the project. One of them was with the .htaccess file, PHP version, domain, and I was even unsure whether my shared server plan was sufficient or whether I would need to migrate to a VPS. Among my questions, I asked one about the server's folder structure, whether it should follow some logic for it to work. The employee who helped me told me it wasn't necessary.
However, I continued my investigation. The first thing I did was analyze how Hostinger's automatic installer worked, especially for Symfony. I installed Symfony with the auto installer, but a 500 error occurred on the page where the project is redirected. Well, I installed the dependencies, and the errors persisted. I decided to delete the entire project, but I realized that the web folder had "something special". After all, the website, when created, was redirected to her. With this in mind, I created a new installation of Symfony version 7.2 using the composer2 command within this folder and, when accessing the domain with the path /web/public, I was able to see the website in operation.
Installation Step by Step
1 - Access your account and go to "add website". After that, create an empty PHP website, add your domain or use a temporary one.
2 - Click "auto installer", then "other" and select Symfony.
3 - Configure the site administrator data and check if your settings are the same as mine.
4 - In the PHP information section, make sure you have these extensions and that version 8.3 is selected.
5 - Access your website URL and see this screen:
6 - Then, SSH access your server (you will need to configure it) and use the following commands:
cd domains cd nome_do_website rm -rf public_html/ mkdir public_html cd public_html mkdir web cd web composer2 create-project symfony/skeleton:"7.2.x-dev" .
7 - Access your website's URL with the path /web/public and see your Symfony web app working!
Final Considerations
- Clone your repository and use Git to manage updates.
- Use a cron job with a Bash script to keep your site up to date.
- It is important to note that Hostinger uses the composer2 command for the latest Composer (version 2). If you only use composer, it will use version 1.
I hope this article helps everyone who has difficulties installing a project on Hostinger using Symfony. I wrote this article with the aim of helping the community and avoiding problems like the ones that happened to me. If you liked it, leave a like and comment if it worked. Thank you!

How do I destroy a session in PHP using session_destroy()?
Jun 20, 2025 am 01:06 AM
To completely destroy a session in PHP, you must first call session_start() to start the session, and then call session_destroy() to delete all session data. 1. First use session_start() to ensure that the session has started; 2. Then call session_destroy() to clear the session data; 3. Optional but recommended: manually unset$_SESSION array to clear global variables; 4. At the same time, delete session cookies to prevent the user from retaining the session state; 5. Finally, pay attention to redirecting the user after destruction, and avoid reusing the session variables immediately, otherwise the session needs to be restarted. Doing this will ensure that the user completely exits the system without leaving any residual information.
