Answer 1

After some searching I found the answer here on stackoverflow.

The symfony2 crawler, by default, guesses that the location of server is at "localhost". Yet mine is not there. So I had to tell the crawler where to look.

This is the code I had to add 'HTTP_HOST' => 'my.server.location'

Adding this code makes the code look like this:

$this->client = static::createClient( 
     array(),
     array(
        'HTTP_HOST' => 'my.server.location', //dependent on server        
    ));
$this->client->followRedirects(true);

So now when I get the url $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/admin/login');, The crawler will get the following url: http://my.server.location/admin/login.

Hope this helps anyone!
