Running your Symfony Application
--------------------------------

On production, you should use a web server like Nginx or Apache
(see :doc:`configuring a web server to run Symfony </setup/web_server_configuration>`).
But for development, it's convenient to use the :doc:`Symfony Local Web Server <setup/symfony_server>`.

:doc:`configuring a web server to run Symfony </setup/web_server_configuration>`).
But for development, it's more convenient to use the
:doc:`Symfony Local Web Server <setup/symfony_server>`.

.. note::
This local server provides support for HTTP/2, TLS/SSL, automatic generation of
security certificates and many other features. It works with any PHP application,

If you want to use a virtual machine (VM) with Vagrant, check out
:doc:`Homestead </setup/homestead>`.

Once installed, move into your new project and start the local web server:

.. code-block:: terminal

$ cd my-project
$ symfony server:start

Open your browser and navigate to ``http://localhost:8000/``. If everything is working,
you'll see a welcome page. Later, when you are finished working, stop the server
by pressing ``Ctrl+C`` from your terminal.

.. tip::

If you're having any problems running Symfony, your system may be missing
some technical requirements. Use the :doc:`Symfony Requirements Checker </reference/requirements>`
tool to make sure your system is set up.

If you're using a VM, you may need to tell the server to bind to all IP addresses:
