Changing cache_dir and log_dir with Symfony2
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';}
I was happy to find your post, but I was a little bit confused of the unhelping answers.
I got the same problem and found out that the logs are depending on the config parameter kernel.logs_dir.
So I just added it to my config.yml parameters:
kernel.logs_dir: /var/log/symfonyLogsI hope it will helpfull for you even, if its a late answer.
i think the easiest way is to link the folder to another place. We have made this on the prod server but when you develop local perhaps on windows its a bit complicated to set the symlinks.
ln -s /var/cache/ /var/www/project/app/cachesomething like this.
