Question

I want to access my symfony app in production env (http://www.sample.com/amateur1/web/app.php) from this url http://www.sample.com/amateur1.

To do that I moved the .

Answer 1

In most of the shared hosting, you can't override Apache settings in that case may need to wright a redirection rule in .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^projectName/ /projectName/web/app.php/%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]

this is the rule I used in my project . You may need to provide full paths to your assets other ways they will not get loaded .

Answer 2

In your configuration, apache uses public_html as the document root

If Symfony2 is installed in directory /home/u105859802/public_html/amateur1, the Symfony public directory to serve is /home/u105859802/public_html/amateur1/web/

You should use

RewriteBase /amateur1/web/

But beware, it is not safe
You have to protect your symfony directories! (configuration is accessible)

Why don't you try moving your symfony files in your private area ?
You can rename the Symfony web directory to public_html

See how to do that in documentation cookbook

So, my recommendation structure looks like below :

• /home/u105859802/
  • vendor
  • src
  • app
  • bin
  • public_html (web by default in symfony2) <- the only public directory
