i have a symfony2 project works well, after some modification of html, i always get a blank page when i set in app.php: $kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false); but if i set the debug parameter to true: $kernel = new AppKernel('prod', true); everything works fine, i haven't see any log in my prod.log. I use php apc and fastCGI on my server. Anyone can tell me the difference between the parameter? Or this is just a problem of cache? finally, i have found the problem. I searched again in my log of appache, i got this error: [Fri Oct 26 14:12:19 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'D:/workspace/symfony_bannieres/app/cache/devprod/doctrine/orm/Proxies\AcmeModerationBundleEntityModerationObjectStatusProxy.php' (include_path='.;d:\software\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.9\pear') in D:\workspace\symfony_bannieres\vendor\doctrine\lib\Doctrine\ORM\Proxy\ProxyFactory.php on line 85 ...
