Symfony .htaccess rewrite and redirect not working

Question

I know very little about symfony framework. I copied a website www.example.net to www.example.com site works with url

www.example.com/www/app.php

or even with

www.example.com/www/

but I want it to redirect automatically to app.php without showing it in the url. My htaccess in the www (web) directory is as follows:

&ltIfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
&ltIfModule&gt

It doesn't redirect.

Thanks

yes otherwise the rule would be ignored if rewrite engine was disabled for your vhost and enabled only by the htaccess file. Add `RewriteBase /www` — Nicolai Fröhlich, Sep 28 '13 at 13:15

It does not matter if it is symfony or not, this is just arewrite issue. Are you sure you have mod_rewrite enabled in apache? are you using apache? That rewriteBase should have done the trick. — adosaiguas, Sep 28 '13 at 13:23
Are you sure you have mod_rewrite enabled? in ubuntu you can enable it like `sudo a2enmod rewrite` — Adam Zielinski, Sep 28 '13 at 13:24

In your Vhost:

Change this line (Directory section):

AllowOverride None

to:

AllowOverride All

Instead of that rule can you try:

RewriteBase /www/
RewriteRule ^((?!app\.php).*)$ app.php/$1 [NC,L]

Sorry I can't test with Symphony as I am not near my home computer.

jeah it's the way to make it work if you **want** to run symfony but keep the subdirectory in the url - he just copied my comment :) – Nicolai Fröhlich Sep 28 '13 at 13:19
@HarshadManjre: What is DOCUMENT_ROOT value? – anubhava Sep 28 '13 at 13:20

A bit late to this game but I just found an Apache directive that saves so much time and makes your htaccess cleaner. The only caveat is you must have Apache 2.2.16+. To have all urls except valid files (images, etc) use app.php as a front controller use the FallbackResource directive.

<Directory "/web/symfony-project">
    FallbackResource /app.php
</Directory>
