Question

I am migrating from symfony1 to symfony2, I have hard time implementing propel behaviors. Where do I actually have the propel.ini in symfony2?

Well in sf1.4, it was inside root config directory. How about symfony2?

Answer 1

The Propel ORM Symfony2 page says this:

You can add a app/config/propel.ini file in your project to specify some configuration parameters. … However, the recommended way to configure Propel is to rely on build properties.

You can define build properties by creating a propel.ini file in app/config like below, but you can also follow the Symfony2 convention by adding build properties in app/config/config.yml

So I believe you can come close to the Symfony1 behaviour by creating app/config/propel.ini, but the more idiomatic way is to use app/config/config.yml as that page illustrates.

Caveat: I haven’t used Propel with Symfony2, so this answer is solely based on the manual.
