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

Add the following methods to app/AppKernel.php (AppKernel extends Kernel) making them return your preferred paths:

public function getCacheDir()
{
    return $this->rootDir . '/my_cache/' . $this->environment;
}

public function getLogDir()
{
    return $this->rootDir . '/my_logs';
}
