Directory Structure
After installing a Pimcore package, you will see the folder structure described below.
The directory layout follows the Symfony best practices.
During this tutorial, you will work primarily with /src/ (controllers), /templates/ (Twig templates),
and /public/ (web root).
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
/bin/ | Executable files (e.g. bin/console). |
/config/ | Application configuration files. |
/public/ | The document root for your project. Point your virtual host to this directory. |
/src/ | The project's PHP code (services, controllers, event listeners, etc.). |
/templates/ | Twig templates for the application. |
/var/ | Private generated files, not accessible via the web (cache, logs, etc.). |
/vendor/ | Third-party libraries installed by Composer / Packagist. |
The public/ Directory
The web root directory is the home of all public and static files like images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files.
It also contains the front controller (index.php), which handles all requests to your application.
See the skeleton front controller for reference.
The src/ Directory
The Kernel class is the main entry point of the Symfony application configuration and is stored in the src/ directory.
Your controllers, services, and event listeners live here as well.
For more information about the folder structure and architecture, see the Symfony documentation.
In the next step, you will upload assets that your product page will use.
