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

You must enable the rewrite module in Apache, as the "IfModule mod_rewrite.c" states.

To do so:

1. Run command-line command "a2enmod rewrite".
2. Change all "AllowOverride None" lines to "AllowOverride All".
