You want to deploy your Symfony app to a shared hosting environment with cPanel and no SSH access. Here's how you can do it:

• Double-check your code for any issues
• Configure your environment variables
• Install and update your vendors
• Clear your Symfony cache
• Install the symfony/apache-pack
• Update your composer.json file
• Build your assets
• Update your Kernel.php file
• Upload your project to cPanel

To start, double-check your code. Make sure everything is working as expected. You can use the dotenv:dump command to configure your environment variables. Run the command: APP_ENV=prod APP_DEBUG=0 php bin/console dotenv:dump

Next, install and update your vendors using: composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader. Then, clear your Symfony cache: APP_ENV=prod APP_DEBUG=0 php bin/console cache:clear

You may need to install the symfony/apache-pack using: composer require symfony/apache-pack. This creates the .htaccess configuration required for Symfony routing.

Update your composer.json file to override the public directory: "extra": {public-dir: "public_html" }

Build your assets using: symfony console tailwind:build and symfony console asset-map:compile

Update your Kernel.php file to define the project_dir:

public function getProjectDir(): string
{
    return \dirname(__DIR__);
}

Finally, upload the necessary files to cPanel:

• bin/
• config/
• migrations/
• public_html/
• src/
• templates/
• translations/
• vendor/
• var/
• .env.local.php

Exclude unnecessary files and folders. Zip the selected files and upload them to cPanel.
