Question

I am new to symfony, I am reading Practical Symfony, I am working on both Linux and Windows. I use GitHub to move my changes. yesterday i created a small project on my windows machine and pushed it to github https://github.com/showketbhat/medicine. I pulled the code today on Linux machine i changed some configurations for my database. now when i try to open my index page it shows me the following error message :-

500 | Internal Server Error | sfFileException

Unable to open the log file “D:\sfproject\medicine\log/backend_dev.log” for writing.

  in SF_ROOT_DIR/lib/vendor/symfony/lib/log/sfFileLogger.class.php line 75 ...
          72.     $fileExists = file_exists($options['file']);
          73.     if (!is_writable($dir) || ($fileExists && !is_writable($options['file'])))
          74.     {
          75.       throw new sfFileException(sprintf('Unable to open the log file "%s" for writing.', $options['file']));
          76.     }
          77.
          78.     $this->fp = fopen($options['file'], 'a');

I tried to change the permission to 777 for backend_dev.log file, but nothing happen. can anyone help me out?

After Using php symfony project:permissions

>> chmod 777 /home/sfprojects/medicine/cache
>> chmod 777 /home/sfprojects/medicine/log
>> chmod 777 /home/sfprojects/medicine/symfony

First you must clear the cache and reload the page.

rm -rf cache/*

or

php symfony cc
