RewriteRule in Apache with Symfony2 not removing app.php

Question

I have the following .htaccess file in my web directory for my Symfony2 installation:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{R         


        

Answer 1

I managed to remove web/app.php part on my shared server.

1. First I moved app.php out of the web directory one step above thus my app.php on the root directory. Then I placed a .htaccess on the root directory

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^css/(.*) web/css/$1

RewriteRule ^images/(.*) web/images/$1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]

I used RewriteCond on css and images as they still lie inside /web/ directory so all request to css and images will be routed to web/css and web/images directories respectively.

It worked well for me.
