Changing cache_dir and log_dir with Symfony2

Question

Because of deployment constraints, I would like to have the log and cache directories used by my Symfony2 application somewhere under /var/... in my file system. For this reason

Answer 1

No accepted answer, and a really old question, but I found it with google, so I post here a more recent way to change the cache directory, and the logs directory, (source here)

• remember, short syntax for arrays require php 5.4

• you can select the env to modify, and manage different cache and logs directories if you want

  public function getCacheDir()
  {
      if (in_array($this->environment, ['prod', 'test'])) {
      return '/tmp/cache/' .  $this->environment;
  }
  
  return parent::getCacheDir();
  }
  
  public function getLogDir()
  {
      if (in_array($this->environment, ['prod', 'test'])) {
      return '/var/log/symfony/logs';
  }
  
  return parent::getLogDir();
  }
